The leader backing up the field isn't the same as a midfield driver doing it.

It is still stupid, dangerous, and wrong, yet doesn't get hit with a penalty. Also Schumacher got hit with a huge penalty, Webber did the same move on Massa in Japan a couple years back and got nothing. In general the penalties dished out in Hungary were excessive and unprecedented.

^ Yea in Singapore, but wasn't the safety car already in the pitlane by then though? And i thought they revised the safety car rules after monaco, no?

[E30Kaiser]

It's never enforced because no one blocks the field that way. I cant remember anyone ever making such a gap...

Jenson Button earlier this year had people going off the road he backed up the field so bad if memory serves me right, only difference is that he was in the lead.

You guys need to stop hating on my boy Vettel hahaha, you know you would be dumb founded as well if you got hit with a penalty from a rule that is never enforced.

do you guys think the tire/force india crash was all related?

part of me thinks the lollipop guy saw the tire coming loose and wasn't thinking so he raised the lollipop when the crew was done and so he smashed the force india coming in on his way out.

after seeing vettel's bitchy attitude I hope webber takes it all the way. red bull's number 2 driver can do it!!

Schumacher - really bad form/move.

Vettel- still talking about what he did wrong all the way to the podium lol

Webber - awesome drive

Petrov - great job!

Crazy moment with the tire incident in the pits!

I hope Kimi comes back next year, but I think people should just contract him for Spa, the man is a Spa savant.

[Jon325i]

There has been some speculation about whether or not Kimi would be returning. I would wait until the "F1 Silly Season" is in full swing to see if his name is being tossed about as a potential driver for someone next year. I think what's more important is to see if a couple of the new teams (most notably HRT who is seeking a buyer) are even around for next year. If these operations fold that's going to leave a handful of drivers seeking employment.

Kimi is coming back?

i wish. Im sure he was being sarcastic. I think we would all like to see Kimi come back.

I bet Vettel wishes he could kick his own ass,,,, No doubt he was trying to help webber gap the field for his first pit on the restart, he just made it to to big a gap. Hell of a drive by weber on the soft tires. RBR chassis is so superior to everyone else right now its astounding. Why they needed the saftey car at all is still a question for me, they couldnt clear that endplate without the S.C.

How about that chaos in the pits.

Hamilton lost out on some quality point he and McMerc desperatly needed. I think they will back with some major updates for Spa...... I love Spa, always the best track on the calendar. Man I hope the track at Austin is just a fraction as good as Spa

[YAN-3]

awesome race. kept me guessing and sitting on the edge the whole time!

Schumacher=Douchebag. Beat it old man. How many of his wins were gifted because of team orders?

Serious d-bag move on Schumy. And to pull such a move on the front straight, right by Charlie Whiting's office chair....freakin' genius. In racing there's blocking strategies, but this was quite blatant...and I recently read on Speed.com that MS will take a 10-spot grid penalty for this move in Belgium. He better make it to Q3 or he's going to be starting with Senna and/or Chandok.

Kudos to Webber for driving a brilliant race. I want to see him carry this momentum all the way to Abu Dhabi - the man is champion worthy.

Now to start my 4-week withdrawls until Spa :-(
