He is basically saying why should they back off for the likes of Red Bull. Every car is their to win races and unless their are blue flags why should they make room for a faster car?

After the Safety Car had gone back IN and Vettel lost it going to deep into the last corner, do you think Hamilton thought that he was not allowed past Vettel because it looked like he backed off?

Quite true. As a Macca fan, I remember how much I hated the fact that coulthard couldn't manage to overtake Bernoldi in Monaco, 2001 I think, but the Arrows Boy was doing his race, slowing the Scot by almost a second per lap, but what else could he do ?

He cannot pass until they cross the finish line...

As Vettel and Hamilton went into the pits at the same lap, we can conclude that FIA screwed about the whole Hamilton / Safety Car thing.

Ferrari are not happy, are they unhappy that McLaren didnt speed up? I cant see how it made a difference. Hamilton overtook... he got a drive thru? Whats the problem?

They are not happy about time / place of the SC deployment. SC should catch the leader. Moreover, penalty for Hamilton was granted after 15 laps and this delay allowed him to cancels its effect. This is what I understand from thunderstorm in Rai now :]

no we can start passing car from the first pit lane....where were u during Monaco GP

Why lewis couldnt pass is coz Vettel had better acceleration even when he went wide.... see how Alonso struggled to out accelerate Buemi in that last corner even when Buemi went wider

Top and bottom of it is; HAD the FIA done its job and gone out in front of the leader we would not be in this position. Once again the FIA f**ked up, and confuse the f**k out of everyone leading in them dishing out penalties left right and centre.

Top and bottom of it was, Hamilton was confused and had a good old think about it. Fair enough... but I think Alonso was thinking "I should have gone too".

I can feel Fernandos frustration that it took FIA too long to get Hamilton to take a drive thru, but thats motor racing. I can think of more than one occasion when Hamilton was unfairly done by a race steward. You just gotta take the good with the bad.

I was there, and Schumacher was proved wrong. He isn't allowed to pass.

And if I'm wrong, that's what french TV speakers said.
