Besides getting out of the way if Hamilton ends up behind him I'm not sure what Button CAN do. Good to see we didn't have another race being decided in the stewards' office!
Booooooooooooooooo I don't think it will come into play because Lewis is invariably in front of him anyway!
Anyway, now that's sorted out: Alonso has a 29-point lead in the WDC over Vettel. Raikkonen is now 45 points adrift and Hamilton is two whole race wins and a 9th place finish off Alonso. Barring an Alonso DNF coupled with a win for Hamilton or Raikkonen looks like a two-horse race. EDIT: Also correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that at least the second year in a row that Singapore has run to time rather than race distance? Really shocking that the FIA haven't shortened the race distance yet if I'm remembering correctly.
I don't have a feeling Michael is staying at Mercedes much longer, his engineers team radio said everything. It doesn't feel calm there at the moment.
49 races since Alonso's last and only reliability based DNF for Ferrari. On another note Kimi is the only driver to have completed every lap of every race this season. Impressive and also scary.
Isn't it something like 55 since Webber's too? I think it was Singapore '09 his last retirement not to do with his driving. And compared to Vettel's car, he should have won both titles with reliability like that.
I think Vettle will be a triple WDC, subject to Mclaren not getting a 1-2 in Japan which is possible!
No great surprise. I assume it was for overtaking Kobayashi beyond the track edge (more obvious to us that to DC!) rather than pushing Grosjean off at the start...?
They should have a lucky-dip bag full of penalties that each driver gets to pull from at the end of a race. It might actually be more exciting than the actual racing.
