Jenson Button has won his 10th GP of his careers after a magnificent drive. He passed the pitlane 6 time and went through the field, pushing Vettel until he made a mistake on the final lap. Vettel still ended in second place, ahead of his teammate Mark Webber.
He was just carrying way too much speed into the corner. That has nothing to do with wheel locking (it's right they locked up, but he would have gone into the wall anyway)dave34m wrote:
57 min: Replays show that Vettel locked up his right front under braking for the chicane and he lost control of the car, bouncing into the wall on the outside.
Sometimes its the braking!

Sorry actually has to start the race from pitlane.....PNSD wrote:Back in the grid? Why? Why not FP2? They have ready made tubs there, should not take too long. They should get out for some of FP2.

Vettel is beginning to crack under the pressure. He crashed at the wrong time though, should have crashed in Q2.andrew wrote:Only a small tap by Vettel. the mechanics will fix that in no time. No cause for concern.
