Vettel is really losing the plot this season, especially telling Charlie W to F off. There is, of course, clear irony in him also being the first driver to be done for the moving under braking rule. Max must be smirking that he finally finished behind him. Shame Daniel didn't actually get the chance to appear on the podium as he clearly (and correctly) felt he should have. http://www.alfa.me.uk

If they want him to stop screaming every time he throws his toys out of the pram, they're going to need a bigger pram... That was a bizarre ending to an otherwise very boring race.

He was ahead of Vettel and stayed ahead of him after his bit of cross country. The off was almost identical to Lewis' lap one mistake. They should introduce some penalty for misuse of the radio too. What I found even more amazing was that there was no GP thread on here!I checked on here late last night for opinions and there were none! What's happened to fccuK!? www.chrisdoyle-photography.co.uk

Shame that due to altitude, the circuit does not really work for "overtaking"? Surely though the notion of "overtaking" is a pre-requisite of motor racing???? Perhaps not though in "Bernie's mind"?!?! Fiat Coupe 20VT Alfa Romeo Spider BMW X3

His frustration at Ferrari seems to be the possible undoing of him if he is not careful. I doubt Charlie W will forgive another outburst. It seems Hamilton will need some of his bad luck to turn Rosbergs way in the next race if he is going to have any chance but I doubt it will happen.

More chance of that if he can keep Rosberg between him and Verstappen. "RK's way seems the most sensible to me". ali_hire 16 Dec 2010

I think Vettel has been let off lightly, possibly due to the other penalty he got on Sunday and probably due to him being with Ferrari!
