They were introduced by the FIA President a while back to give him a reason to be on the podium infront the the cameras. As its always him that hands them out.
He's the kinda guy that just has to be in the limelight. He's always there to greet the pole position winner, he's always there at the ceremonies and always infront of a camera.
Never caught Jean Todt doing that.
Drivers probably put them in the bottom drawer
Overall an entertaining race, I'd say the crash was a racing incident with more of the cause in Sergios hands.
Oscar drove very well, must have been a kick for Max seeing Lando pass him too.
