Isn't the video showing up at your screen? That would be weird; it's perfectly embedded at this screen .

Did anyone catch the exact wording of Vettel's rant after the Karthikeyan/Hamilton situation? I didn't manage to completely understand it ...
Thanks

MSC should be banned from his final race after forcing BUT into the pit lane exit again as he did to BAR.

I think the same thing on this. It seems drivers are punished because of the consequences of their actions rather than their behaviour straight up.?! I've tried to like Michael,but then his gets up to his old --- and it's just dissapointing. It's no wonder driving standards are so 2nd rate when the world best think this is acceptable... Anyway, nobody seemed to care, so maybe we are just over reacting.

Are you kidding me? he left enough space to one car, and it the corner he was quite aggresive but again he left space. There is no reason to be banned, FIA didnt do anything, Mclaren didnt say a word as Button. I saw very aggresive moments from Grosjean or Maldonado and no one says nothing.

The key is that the pit lane white line delimits the edge of the track there. Drivers may not cross it, in case someone unexpectedly is coming out of the pits. MS was half way over it, button was forced fully over it.

So... Combos for Brazil in which Alonso can win are:

1. ALO Wins. VET no higher than 5th.
2. ALO second. VET no higher than 9th.

Otherwise VET wins the WDC.

and with a Vettel DNF, Alonso would need 3rd place. It's a long shot but in F1 you never know...

Ferrari is usually strong in Brazil, so its posible. Anyway, Alonso needs a wet race and a mistake/failure from Vettel or a chaotic race.

If he has the same problem than me - i.e. beeing blocked by a proxy - he would not be able to see an embedded youtube video either. I think he was asking for a file to download and watch

Yeah ok, but there aren't really alternatives. Well if I was at home I could use a flash capture program and send it with email, but that is out of the question atm.

Well to answer the puzzle, I can see embedded videos in office but can't access direct URLs. Stupid but true!!

After watching the video though, I feel Vettel did nothing wrong to be really penalized. He did try to move back but not enough to block Hamilton. So it was fine IMO.

thumbs up banibhusan =D>

for what??

Yeah he did try to get back to the racing line, but I don't think it was that bad enough to earn a penalty. Hamilton still had ample space and had the racing line to pass him and complete the move.

My problem wasn't with how Vettel tried to move back, but the timing of it. He probably thought Hamilton was a little further behind and so was trying to cover Hamilton's move to the right, but he ended up moving almost exactly when Hamilton was trying to move out of his slip stream which is a recipe for designer.

Your opinion mate. I agree completely and don't see what some people are upset about.

That's only half the truth. You may not cross the line when coming out of the pits, but you are allowed to use the full width of the track which includes the pit exit and cross the line from the track side. Cars coming out of the pits are shown blue lights when a car comes up the straight.
So nothing to blame Michael for (and also Maldonado in lap 6). Plus Schumacher turned to the inside and THEN Button decided to squeeze himself through that chokepoint.
The situation with Barrichello was different because he was almost pushed into a concrete wall, but even so Barrichello chose the inner line.
