Yeah but these are being investigated after the race so they can really only put on a time penalty or grid drop. Sucks, but rules are rules and if they we're gunning it after a huge crash like that, then penalties are deserved.

I think Jensen is setting fast laps now just in case of being handed a time penalty.

But I thought most of these cars were ahead of the accident when the safety car was "coming out". It would be a crap idea to ask them to come to a crawl just to satisfy that time.

Hahaha, good sense of humour on the Red Bull mechanic there...

"Well done Sebastian, Germany's best result of the day!"

Bwuahahaha! The race was pretty uneventful (Webber doesn't count) until right up to Kobayashi passing 2 cars on the last two laps!


....wait so they're blaming Kovi for Webber's incident?

Kobayashi is freaking amazing.

The guy needs a good car. He isnt actually scared of trying to overtake.
Real showman.

Anyhow, nice one Vettel. And Mclaren. Hopefully Button doesnt get a harsh penalty.

Good race actually. Enjoyed it.

In hindsight, correct, it would seem un-racer like to slow down for an accident behind you. But if the SC is out, you don't run at race speed, simple.

Kobayashi :bowdown::bowdown:

Just thought, if penalties are handed out, Kobayashi could be looking at a podium, win!

the safety car was scramble out. They were at the end of the lap. Most of them could not have possibly slow down to satisfy that lap time unless they stop at the pitlane entry.

Stupid regulation and stupid safety car procedure.

lol Webber and his attempt of Backflip, too bad it was only Sloppy Whip 180

Quote from JCTK :

Can Kobayashi pit on the very last lap (if his pitbox is before the finish line) for the option tyres?

i think the rule is that they have to complete at least one lap on the tires, excluding the outlap. but don't hold me to that.

I would guess that the pitlane is closed on the very last lap anyway.

Wasn't that Christian Horner?

Massive kudos to Kobayashi there - it's taken him 8 months but we've finally got some more of his awesome overtaking prowess

Kobayashi braked sooooooooo much later than Alonso, and somehow flicked it sideways into the corner and made that stick! AMAZING!!

Peter Sauber should forgive him for all his first lap crashes after today!

Webber's auditioning for a Star Fox remake methinks

You got Webber as Star Fox

Christian Horner as Peppy

on lap 57, yeah, but not lap 56... technically lap 55 would be the last time to pit, if what i said holds true.

but he pit on 54, so meh.

Bet thats the scariest roller coaster he will ever experience.

Crazy stuff.

Isi t just me or does Hamilton have a lame memory? He never remembers any race incidents involving himself.

He had no time to find out something lame, so yeah "I can't remember". Lolz.

Well, at Le Mans Webber made his flips, and flight off the track in trees. Car was Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR (or what it was :S?)

Yeah. But still.

Also, some great arguing and word fighting going on between Eddie and Coultard and Gascoyne.

Alonso is now crying about the race being "manipulated".

But he was the one that benefited and won from a truly "manipulated" race, manipulated for his advantage, so he should either admit he shouldn't have won that Singapore GP too or just STFU.

He even said "Then with the safety car I would have finished where I finished in ninth, and Hamilton in eighth."
But he only finished 9th because of his inability to pass Buemi in a Toro Rosso. Which was something that a Force India and a BMW Sauber managed to do... lol

He should've finished 3rd, he really deserved it. The mandatory pit stop really needs to go for 2011.
