That was really a super lap by Vettel. One for the books. He really gave all and the telemetry confirms he was magic: to give a figure, in the last chicane of the last lap of q3 he was some 6 km/h faster than all his previous laps, that means giving it all and more! Tomorrow the race will be different. But today was a happy day for ferrari

Well, first time I've ever heard a Formula One race commented on at the start of the 22:00 BBC Radio 4 news programme!
Vettel has his win taken away for dangerous driving?
Haven't seen it, its only on the subscription channels.
Just for info:

It was a really good race. Even though I’m a Silver Arrow fan, I didn’t like the stewards decision to hand Seb a 5 second time penalty. Each time I watch his error it seems more like a racing event not worthy of a penalty.
My opinion on the incident itself is that it wasn't to be penalised. Just a racing encounter between the two top drivers.
My opinion in general on the decision is that to be frank: Mercedes is killing this year competition, Ferrari has little or no hopes to open any title fight. At race 7 there is room to at least make the year just a bit more interesting for a couple of weeks, and it's happening because a driver is doing a super race (I have to say that despite that small error Vettel drove an incredible race in an inferior car) and in a surely not clear situation they choose to go for the penalty....
I am not saying that if the penalty was clearly there they should have not give it. of course if it's clear is clear. but since it is surely at least unclear and uncertain let it go!
the results they obtained:
- last 15 laps could have been an incredible fight for the win between the two but we didn't see it because of course Hamilton stayed back to avoid risks
- public was booing at the podium
- it was a great race, one that could have make hundreds of new subscriber to watch formula1, but everybody is talking only about the penalty and how bad f1 has become... so subscribers are going away instead of coming
to me it was a wrong call on many sides and I am curious to know what Liberty Media and FIA will think about it because they already had the "Mercedes winning all" issue, and now this...
