I hate that Vettel punted Button, but his drive through was bullshit... You can tell in the video and especially the replays that it was a racing incident...

I was sorta surprised about Vettels car being fine too after hitting Button. I thought his wheels looked like they were at odd angles.

Did anyone else notice Vettel attempt the inside of Button just before the accident? Looked like he was going to outbrake himself and then around he went.

:bowrofl: Spa so much!

Odd isn't it...how when a brazilian punts a spaniard there's no punishment, but a german takes out a brit and the english steward decides it was reckless.

What would you do to Rubens, make him retire again?

If an action is worth a drivethourgh, wouldn't the same action deserve a 5-spot grid penalty?

Bring your tin foil hat, we'll go streaking.

Mansell didn't hand down the penalty personally.

Whitmarsh says more penalty needed for skittle :mamoru: he would say that, but I agree. Skittle been crashing too much with others and way too reckless when it comes to defending and driving people into walls.

I still don't think it should have been a penalty

Meh, EVERYONE went long on their braking in that corner.

I'm also not saying I necessarily agree with Seb's penalty.

AmI the only person that thought he lost control because he hit a wet patch?

so how can he get penalized for causing an accident? It not like he was deliberate, it was just a racing incident....

I'm really not happy with the stewards, but at least they have been better than years past.

According to Jenson the corner was bone dry. Looks like he jinked from inside to out too late and with too much speed.

There should have been no penalty. You can't have the sport re-writing rules and spending billions to increase passing on one hand, then penalize people for trying to pass but failing on the other. This is profoundly retarded hypocrisy.

:mamoru:

Mr.300GPs is as much at fault as Vettel is. Everyone in the media bitching over Vettel causing the accident between him and the Force India at the bus stop - mad fail.

the bubens crash was a first lap incident in wet conditions on slick tyres, skittle losing control and hitting button was 100% his own doing

furthermore, Fred's Ferrari somehow survived the impact while Jens had to retire

It's not like bubens didn't know it was raining...he should have been more careful.

i think the Rubens "incident" wasn't really look at cause he was the only one that suffered really.
