Ridiculous. Told that a Vettel decision will be another hour at least. Charlie Whiting, race director, has gone for dinner

Yep I just seen this on FIA twitter
Fake FIA tweet wrote:Vettel has been found without enough fuel in the car. Hamilton will be given a 23 place grid penalty for starting the trend in Spain

Can I just say, whilst we wait for these results, Hamilton was mighty today, obviously he is Enemy no1 to the Tifosi, BUT, I have to say, I look at him in quali today and I think, how much of that is the car and how much was the driver? It seemed to me like Hamilton himself may have been the difference today, just a hunch. For me, over a lap, he is clearly the one and would commit murders in a red bull rocketship.

Might be a fuel pressure issue or something!! Will there be a penalty in that case? I guess not!!

#F1 Unusual for a team principal to become involved in such matters which can only mean it's getting serious for Vettel...

Something must be getting serious, looks like Redbull must be putting their hands in their pockets again to get outta trouble...

@FakeAlonso - no need to post same things twice.

Hope that it will be a good clarification, not some obscure statements that will allow Vettel to start the race 3rd (because the whole thing is unclear), win it and the bulls to be happy.

According to Autosprint no issues with the alternator, only fuel and engine discussed.
