No – they were bang on 1 stop target.

That was an awesomely hilarious attempt to pull a vettel by alonso. I can't believe he's complaining about it.
I thought they were 2 or 3 laps early for that, and about 7 too late for a 2 stop.
Half race distance would be lap 26-27. They were on lap 23 and 24, but they were switching to the harder tyres, and the track is more rubbered in. Anyone who stopped post lap 20 will be 1 stopping.

I can't believe that incident is under investigation – Vettel was far less far over than Alonso was last year!

Vettel ran wider than he needed to.

It was a stupid move on his part as is...and will be even more so if he gets any sort of penalty out of it. Although I doubt he will get anything beyond a warning at worst.

He did? He was bang on the racing line as far as I'm concerned.

Nope, the Sky commentators are wrong on that rule. You don't have to leave space on your first move across the track, only on your return to the racing line.

The rule vettel has just been penalised under has been present for a very long time.
