Massa taking too much kerb again, broke the suspension.

Lap 33
Petrov runs wide exiting turn nine, catches the slide but then loses it again on the kerb, just managing to collect the car before spearing across the track. Good save
Vettel now leads by five seconds, while Alonso is two seconds behind Webber

Lap 32
Vettel stretches his lead over Button to 4.5s. Alonso with the fastest lap, while Massa pits for hard tyres and a new front wing. His front wing was vibrating heavily again

Lap 31
Massa takes his penalty, but he's still a long way ahead of the Alguersuari and Hamilton battle. Hamilton passes Alguersuari in to turn one using DRS. Massa rejoined just behind Schumacher, so he is the next man Hamilton will catch

Lap 30
Vettel with another fastest lap, he's 3.7s ahead of Button, with Webber 7.2s back
I'm in shock, but believe the stewards are bang on with this decision: Drive through penalty for Massa for causing a collision

Lap 29
Nigel asks: "Does Massa have team orders to take Hamilton out in each race? Is this psych war and more that is going on?" I personally think that the history there means that Massa was unwilling to leave Hamilton enough space. Hamilton had got alongside initially, Massa should have seen him, but he wasn't ready to yield the corner. A fastest lap from Alonso, three seconds behind Webber now

Lap 28
A good final sector from Vettel means Button only gains 0.2s in the end Massa is relatively back on the pace, but radios in to say he has a problem on the downshift. Hamilton on the back of Alguersuari for eighth after pitting

I thought that was just a racing incident. There wasn't anything much either of them could do. There was no way they were gonna go wheel to wheel through that corner. One of them had to yeild and neither did so they collided. But anyway, the stewards made the call so I'm gonna go with that.

On the other hand I hope Jenson is saving fuel or something. Otherwise this just got a lot less interesting.

I hope you're just mocking off ... From what I've seen it's a clean move by LH. Mass went too hard on him.
I've my opinion and you've yours, I never said Massa was in the right or that he didn't turn in on him...just that Hamilton had no business trying that especially with their history. If he was faster than great, make the pass in a practical place don't drive with your head up your ass and try to shoot one down the inside when you have to know the other car will turn in on you

@alpen - the whole point is that the other driver SHOULDN'T turn in on you. If you then back off and don't attempt the pass then you're no longer a racing driver. You're racing reputations rather than ability.

Uhhh right, so he shouldn't have overtaken Vettel in the high speed turn in China, right? He shouldn't have driven round the outside of Alonso at the Nürburgring. Instead, we should have absolutely prescribed locations in which passing is allowed.

:roll:

Sorry, the way you pull a good pass is by doing it in an unexpected way.

It shouldn't matter how many other overtakes were attempted into that corner. Lewis got his car alongside, Massa turned in on him. Hamilton *would* have made the corner as he applied the brakes slightly earlier and was trying to carry less apex speed. Massa always intended to carry full racing speed into that corner regardless of anyone else being there, and turned in regardless.
Actually, I think penalizing Massa may have been a bit of a bad decision by the steward. The only reason I say that is it places the onus, not on the proponent of the overtake, but on the person with the poorer view of everything. Personally, I would given them both drive throughs. :wink:

Vettel's going for the grand chelem. Pole, fastest lap, led every lap.

The onus is on both of them, that's the point. It was Hamilton's responsibility to make sure he could make the corner and to make sure he gave Massa as much room as he could. He did that. It was Massa's responsibility to make sure there was room for Hamilton to stay on the road, he didn't do that. The stewards were dead right IMO.

Good radio message from Mercedes to Schumacher: "You have Nico behind you 1.5 seconds, you are free to race, keep it clean" Hamilton in seventh has no answer to the Mercedes pair

Yes and no – it's nice to see him up there, but really, it's 7th place, modulo a crash.
