Coulthard says no!

So if they can't change tyres, Vettel has to start on really bollocksed tyres. First corners going to be amazing once the saftey car pulls in.

[AlwaysBeClosing]

Hang on in there!

What the fuck is going on? They're essentially starting the game from the start for six laps on the grid?

Starts under safety car condition apparently.

Once more, chaos descends.

Restart behind the safety car.

[marsh]

Please don't change the tyres.

[Tequlia]

This is going to be mental.

[mexos]

Oh fuck it.

[Guest]

Vettels tyres changed then.

[mexos]

What an utterly stupid rule.

[morcs]

Lady luck frowns on the fans today

[wev]

Just spotted that Alonso is wearing his wedding ring, surprised at that, even with gloves on its possible that he could be "degloved" so to speak.

If they're allowed to change tyres they shouldn't restart under the saftey car imo, it should be a starting grid start.

[Rocafella]

If they can change tyres, then Vettel really has lucked out today. Bad news for anybody hoping for a decent championship fight.

[marsh]

That front wing looks quite heavy.

[morcs]

Number 3 is Hamilton I guess? Button 4? Guess Webber is 2

[roskelld]

This isn't going to be the fun ending.

I wonder though. Now that they can work on the cars, I wonder I'd they could change the setup to qualifying, what with so few laps to go, and with the fuel being light.

[SteveH]

Well my heart wants Alonso to win. But in reality I would feel for Button if he doesn't take it, as he has been by far the best driver out there for me today.

[morcs]

Remember Shumacher made a pass when finishing under safety car last year. Hope for some madness yet

[roskelld]

Does anyone else get double audio on the team radio or is it just my feed?

[mexos]

It's all over for Ham.

[The Bag]

Interesting that Vettel has a map of the circuit stuck to the inside of the cockpit, haven't noticed that before

[wev]

Would Coulthard really be saynig "this is motor racing" if Button's race had have been Vettel's?

IIRC they all have it, it's to make it easier for them to name corners when communicating with their mechanics.

[Blu3Flame]

Are they just disregarding the two hour rule today?

[wev]

IIRC they all have it, it's so they can easily name corners for their mechanics.

Good job the mechanics aren't female "Why don't you pull over and ask for directions"

[dan_tm]

So it was just me praying for the red flag then? I always assumed the race was going to be restarted when it eventually came, I was a bit worried when the commentators said it was all over!

Pity about the change of tyres though

[Baring]

Come on Buton/Alonso, attack him!

[JohnC]

Are they just disregarding the two hour rule today?

They said there's 20 minutes left. I assume that means the clock stops under red.

[Baring]

CRASH! lol
