He ran wide at the parabolica with about 7 mins to go, pitted and was stuck in traffic by the looks of it.

Sky showing one of the Force Indias blocking him on his penultimate lap which probably didn't help.

Stewards investigating.

In this case I think it was Sutil who just held him up the entire lap. All the way down the straight, on his really hot lap they just showed Sutil completely ruin the last corner, which also ruined his top speed down the straight, and also ruined the entire next lap. Sutil was going slow on the corner to do the final lap as hot, but he was clearly slow in the final corner and on the racing line.

See this is where the rules are screwed, the impeding is fine as in Sutil should get badly penalised but Hamilton's lap got done and his entire race weekend is ruined with no way to fix it.

EDIT:- the irksome thing is, he had enough time and space to back off and just make the final lap fast, but he was on a hot lap and couldn't know Sutil was going to utterly screw up the final corner and then hold him up around the rest of the track as well. Did Sutil know he wouldn't make it and screw Hamilton on purpose, I really don't know, but he screwed up his own final corner which comprimised his final lap for himself as well....

He should get a 5 place penalty for that.
 
Sutil was going a bit slow into parabolica granted but he's fully entitled to go for it on the next lap. He's entitled to put his lap in, regardless of who's behind him and suffering as a result.
