    As he didnt block Nico on his actual lap nothing more than a warning, fine or reprimand is necessary, but we all know the inconsistency of the stewards :p

    Just watched it again on iplayer, it was literally right at the final corner where Rosberg caught him where they all go slow for a better line out.

    Never mind I saw it...............hmmmmmmmmm.... I dont think it's penalty worthy looking at that first hand. But! if the rule says you are not allowed to slow down in that area I think Lewis will get a penalty and it really goes in Nico's favour.



    NO PENALTY!!!!!!

    Good old Benson

    That would have ruined a potentially interesting battle

    Stewards decided he wasn't driving unnecessarily slowly, and looking at it on i player (1:48:34) they were right. Nico did have a whole outlap to put reasonable distance between him and the McLaren and he failed to do so, just one of those things.

    How? Surely the technical delegate would have noticed if they were?

    Tomorrows top3, imo will be;

    Hamilton
    Grosjean
    Webber.

    I know the RBR is mighty quick, but it's horifically bad on it's tyres, the Lotus has great race pace, but Hamilton is the form driver, so he gets the nod from me.

    Vettel to crash.

    Unless Vettel gets overtaken at the start I think he'll be able to control the race for a easy win. Hope we get to see some action tomorrow but I doubt it :(
