    If Alonso finishes high up what does that mean for Hamilton's WDC hopes?

    Button is quicker than Vettel at the moment, interestingly, and Maldonado is catching them both.

    Button has more laps left in this set than Vettel.... Have to see how that pans out.

    So Hamilton's car had a known fault and they chose to risk it when they cannot afford another DNF?

    ****ers

    Could Mclaren have cost Button the win? I'm sure he could have done a 2 stop, and Mclaren pitted him [most likely] to help Hamilton win.

    Better to take the penalty and gather points.

    Depends on how many gearboxes they have left, remember they only have isn't it five for the whole season?

    Absolutely. Take the 5 place penalty, they know they had good speed so still get decent points. Now they have nothing and look like a right bunch of cocks.

    Singapore is hard on cars and gearboxes, so any hint of a problem should have had them concerned.

    harsh luck for lewis, not sure why mclaren didnt change the gearbox yesterday if they knew it would be a problem, reliability is so important at this stage of the championship.

    They gambled, it didn't pay off. Risky move.
