The button move was clumsy but understandable, that was his race right there, he'd just seen Vettel get held up for numerous laps and suddenly he was free, Grosjean had to stay with Vettel! I dont know why Button had to stay in it for so long but whatever... :roll: Real shame because Button came in that lap too.

Not sure if it was intentional or he is just too old for the sports.
Or, you know, Vettel could have driven past Button and Kimi like Hamilton passed Webber and Button and stuff.

Or you know, Vettel might have been able to pass like Hamilton if he had the top speed of Hamilton, and stuff.

Grosjean got punished because he is Grosjean. I have to say Lotus team's strategy was a bit weird, I think they should have either pitted drivers earlier or keep them later for a straight forward 2 stopper. They seemed to be stuck all the time in the first half of the race.

The only punished should have been the backmarkers. Numerous cars hagint in front of leaders for too long, notably van der Garde and Hulkenberg.

Well yeh, that's exactly what made it an impressive drive – when he needed to make a pass, he made it, and made it quickly. His opposition didn't, that decided the race.
Exactly, clean air won him the race and he made that for himself !

Today I think Pic was sleeping.
It just seems whoever is the 2nd Caterham that day is snoozing.

OK then my question becomes what did you expect Webber to do other than crash into Hamilton or something that earns him a penalty like blocking?
Hamilton just passed everyone really fast today. He's no Vettel :p

When did I say anything about Webber? :roll:
I comment on your uneducated stab at Vettel.

Well last race Vettel dispatched Lewis pretty much as soon as he caught him but Lewis were stuck behind Hulkenberg for many laps :)

A very dejected looking Grosjean left the circuit about 10 minutes ago. And he was hit by a 20 second time penalty for his clash with Button
The 20 seconds does not affect his finishing position, however, as Grosjean was further than that ahead of Button
Very poor decisions today towards Grosjean.

More on this topic, I suspose Webber intentionally made it easy for Lewis today. He was passed twice by Lewis almost immediately when Lewis caught him and none were DRS moves due to RBR low top speed.

I think he would rather see a Lewis victory than a Vettel one :)

The move cutting Lewis' nose off would argue about how much Webber wanted to make it easy.

Hamilton rinsed webber and had absolutely nothing to do with top speed. Vettel couldn't do it to button even with a bigger margin in terms of car performance.
