My guess is that Ferrari asked the question to Charlie as it happened and OT got sorted out during the race. I haven't seen an appeal so far

I don't think they will appeal..

But it wasn't lucky to be involved in the incidents.

A champions drive.......

Crashing into another driver yet again when actually having to do some racing and getting unbelievably lucky that there was no suspension front wing damage at least on the car.

Then he had the torro rosso help him by refusing to overtake when Riccardo was faster.

Schumacher just jumped out of the way and gave up position, something i havent seen him do since his comeback...

Hamilton and Hulk crashing out.

I was under the impression it was Sennas fault Vettel kept the racing line as nearly all his car was ahead and Senna wasnt thinking and just expected him to move.
And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

Getting involved was his own doing. Not being out of the race was Extremely lucky

yeh from then on he drove a very good race, and his pace in the wet was really impressive, especially considered he had a damaged car.

A big congratulations to Vettel and RB on their title.

Hopefully Alonso and Ferrari will be back next year and win it eventually.

Exactly...What ever was meant to happen has happened.Vettel is champion...Wether we like it or not (i don't frankly) its the fact...Our favourite teams/drivers can have a go again at next year.Its like every game/sport in the universe its understandable that a lot of people get upset and frustrated though but lets get it under the carpet i guess,we are not earning anything from F1 (except the members working at anything F1 related),its them that they are get paid-we don't.So lets just enjoy and wait for 2013.There always gonna be losers and winners,luckers and bad luckers thats how it goes! :)

You need to look again, Senna was on the racing line, Vettel was pushed wide by one of the FIs, got past the FI, and cut back across to join the racing line... which Senna was already on.

If Hamilton and Hulk had not crashed Alonso would have been 4th and loses the title regardless of Vettel's position. Alonso benefited much more from those incident..

Right... lol

Now now Cylinder, Torro Rosso wouldnt of overtook but they didnt have the pace it was Sennas fault he crashed and i admit Schumi gave him the position but even if he didnt Vettel would still be champion so all in all Vettel was the drive of the day for me

No offence meant at all, but Vettel fans remind me of Manchester City fans.

Actually, no, the rule is that if any "substantial part" of the other car is along side, you must leave a car's width. Vettel did not.
