How is "off the track" defined in the rules? Is it even? Two tires on the grass may not quite constitute being off the track. I'd expect it is, since cutting chicanes/corners is punishable as well.
No idea, but Brundle stated that rule in the commentary.

Jenson pits and comes out ahead of Vettel... It seems like this is Jensons race to lose.

Bloody iPad autocorrect! Dudley = surely

If that's the case, I wonder what else they could do? Maybe adding weight before the end of the race, so they can run light during it

The rules state that you have to run at or above the minimum weight at all times. So you'd be treading a very fine line were you to try something like that where the stewards could give a penalty if they think you're cheating in that way.

And had roles been reversed you would have been saying that the car on the outside was never going to overtake there so should have dropped out. You hate Hamilton - we get it...

Thanks Lewis, this should give the board something to incessantly fight about for a week or two.

He was passing Liuzzi at the DRS detection point, passed him in the chicane, but then still had the benefit of DRS.
