    On the BBC they showed footage of him driving under yellow flags with the DRS open.

    Should get a penalty; Vettel and Massa did when they did not slow down under yellow flags at Barcelona.

    Just remembered, if you read back to the end of quali yesterday, he had disowned Mercedes and Schuey!

    These youngsters can be very premature.

    If that is the case, then a penalty would have to be applied. Seems a shame, but he did luck into 3rd place anyway, so no harm in taking it back off him!

    Theres no rule saying you can't open it under yellow flags, its just pointless if you have to go slow anyway. We'll see

    I wonder if he opened the DRS to keep his speed up while backing out of the throttle a bit to make it look like he was slowing down

    . That would be awfully sneaky. And illegal.

    Manny: "Sigh, got no chance now, think I'll go out with my mates and watch the Eng v ITA game."

    *at pub*

    Commentator at pub: (TV) " And in other sports news Fernando Alonso wins the European GP!.

    Manny: "Sigh!"

    Commentator at pub (TV) " On the podium with him was Kimi Raikkonen and 7 time world champion Michael Schumacher"


    Manny: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MISSED HIS COMEBACK *SOBS*"

    Manny's friends: "Cheer up, footy will be on in a few hours"

    Manny: "Don't touch me scum!!!! You have ruined my only chance to stick it to the forum :("

    Hes probably waiting for the Steward decision before posting, given all the bad luck Schumi has had, he deserves this podium.

    Manny's real reaction to Schumi's success, and his subsequent embarrassment for abandoning him. :grin:

    yeah Helmut Marko admits it was the safety car that caused the problems for Sebs car.


    OH DEAR VERGNE, I think they got something to blame now!

    Sorry to be serious but I don't think it was abandonment but disillusion.

    Referring to Manny, that is.

    Not looking good, it seems they are able to pass some of the blame to Lewis saying he was pushing him wide.
