Here is a page with a video from overhead perspective:

Once you visit the page, the clip itself is titled "F1 Vettel Controversial Overtake Button"

Vettel was heading off the track already by the time he was alongside Button:

scouseknight

Yes, it was the correct decision.

Any sympathy I had for Vettel disappeared when he lied during the Lauda interview when he claimed nobody had complained about the pass when you could hear Button discussing it with him before they went onto the podium telling him the FIA were looking into the pass.

scouseknight

Where was Vettel supposed to go? Button saw Vettel was off the track and still didn't give Vettel room to rejoin. If there was a giant wall marking the track boundaries, Button would've smashed Vettel into the wall. But we all know the FIA look for any reason to punish Vettel/Red Bull Vettel was su...

scouseknight

Simple - I support Ferrari and Alonso drives for ... Ferrari.

scouseknight

the hamilton/raikkonen spa thing was a joke. they were right to punish hamilton imo. but it should have been dealt with immediately and not hours later. complete farce. No they were not right to punish Hamilton - they basically modified a rule post-penalty to justify the penalty - this was the joke.

Still makes my blood boil 4 years later.

Same for me - and I am a Ferrari supporter - that was disgraceful.

Only Maldonado himself knows whether he has deliberately driven into anyone or not but the problem is more than one of his crashes do look like they were done deliberately - this is not something you even consider when you look at the vast majority of accidents. Until Maldonado arrived, I hadn't eve...

It's only a problem if you follow both sports really.

Brilliant pictures - the ones with the spray are stunning.

Lewis is, and has always been the best wheel to wheel attacker/defender on the track. No one is close to his talent in that respect. Alonso is a very good defensive driver, so you knew that this battle was going to be a good one. Maldonado is from the school of bumper cars, so learn he wont. Wow, a...

scouseknight

Well to be fair, he not only reached the final, he took a set off his opponent which is something I believe he has never done before in a Grand Slam final. Fair play.

scouseknight

He hasn't taken the guys I support out yet but he's an accident-in-waiting the way he's driving at the moment - keep away from the Ferraris please Mr. Maldonado!

he's becoming the target for everyone but he's really reckless.. he and kobayashi.. two clowns who need to go.. just go. Fun fact. Alonso, Button, Hamilton, Webber, Massa have been involved in more collisions than Kobayashi in the last 3 years. ya all those above didn't try to run over mechanics. N...

Didn't something like this also happen about 12 years ago? I vaguely remember reading about it at the time. What exactly were these "improvements" that were made during the renovation? That was when they moved it to earlier in the year which was just asking for trouble - the summer is the only time...

It would be interesting to see how the guys treat her on the race track. I don't see why it'd be "interesting". She'd be treated like another driver, I highly doubt there would be a 'ladies first' thing going on :lol: . Indeed. Jacques Villeneuve punted Danica Patrick out of the NASCAR race last we...

Then maybe it was just me , and some other people feeling things had changed when they maybe haven't. Again though, cheers for replying. Not necessarily - it's just relative really - the Maldonado/Hamilton incident generated some more heated debate than has been recently to be fair and the McLaren ...

scouseknight

I don't think it's too bad to be honest - it used to be a lot worse. It's just phases - when Hamilton first started, for example, it went nuclear sometimes on here. Spygate generated a lot of heated debate which still festers sometimes. Spa 2008 is another example where it got out of control and rev...

Pedrosa_4_Ever wrote: Fiki, why aren't you complaining about this move when you were so vehemently against Hamilton's?

Over the years it has become clear that Fiki will almost always take the negative view when certain drivers are being discussed (I think we all know which ones).

scouseknight

My $.02: Technically speaking (and by that, I mean the rulebook), Hamilton did nothing wrong and is not at fault. Racecraft-wise, though, he should not have put up as much of a fight as he did. He didn't have the tires to get it done for that one more lap against Maldonado, and I think/hope nobody ...

scouseknight

Whitmarsh speaks sense. Hamilton threw away valuable points. Not what he was inferring - he was saying Hamilton did nothing different whilst racing three different drivers and two passed without incident and the third took him out - that's blaming Maldonado to me not Hamilton. The day a racing driv...

scouseknight

Absolutely not he wasn't doing anything wrong it was almost the last lap. Hamilton was easy pickings for Maldonado just not where he tried to pass. And shouldn't hamilton have taken that (in combination with maldo's reputation) into consideration, instead of going balls out on shot tyres? He was on...

scouseknight

What is all the talk about whether he should have gone for the gap or not etc - he went for the gap - it wasn't quite there - no problem with that - the issue was how he rejoined the track afterwards.

scouseknight

A bit harsh to ban him but if he does this kind of thing again then they need to come down a bit harder than they have - he deliberately drove into another car rejoining the track recklessly - that is disgraceful for a driver in the premier motor sport series. It's also a bit harsh to compare Lewis ...

scouseknight

It was fantastic watching Alonso with the fans I'd have been disappointed if they'd have dished out punishment for that - it's the same as I was disappointed when they penalised Hamilton for donuts so no bias here.

scouseknight

We’re pretty sure at the moment that there’s nothing untoward with Jenson’s car and there’s actually nothing fundamentally wrong with the set-up. But, subtly, there are differences Mclaren has concluded that Button been under performing What the article actually quoted was: We’re pretty sure at the...

I was watching a youtube video of some game footage and really liked the music they had used - turns out it was by a band named Nightwish - so I thought I'd check out one of their albums - now I can't stop listening to it!

This season hasn't shown us anything new. Button has always been better in races than qualifying and has always been almost like a completely different driver when the car isn't working for him. However, it is also true that when the car is to his liking, he is almost untouchable. His drive in Brazi...

I still put Alonso at the top even though the Ferrari isn't as bad as Massa has been making it look and same goes for the McLaren in Button's hands of late.

Nope it was a rather more broad selection of fans that had this opinion you'll find.

scouseknight

What happened to winning as a team and losing as a team? Did McLaren get on his back about binning it in China and costing the team a WDC? Did Button have a go at the team for the silly mistake at Monaco when someone left the inlet cover on and cost him the race? It just sounds arrogant beyond beli...

Just a racing incident the on-board from Grosjean clearly shows he was as much a victim of squeezing as Schumacher was but Alonso had every right to go for the gap as well.
