Are you joking?

It was so blatant that even the pundits couldn't stop talking about it.

It was so obvious ferrari gave vettel the nod that not even nico could keep a straight face.

Thanks for the link fix. I could not figure out how to make it small.

It is funny. Kimmi did start to ease off the pace a bit. Don't know if that contributed to it (maybe he needed to go for a shit and was getting the turd pains in his gut..?).

I think it could go either way in terms of Ferrari blaming traffic or pulling rank. A tactical manoeuvre by Ferrari where they can blame traffic me thinks.

Here is an analysis of both scenarios:

Conclusion

Our conclusion is that this is one of the most fascinating scenarios we have encountered in the UBS Race Strategy Report since it began in 2011 and you can convince yourself either way depending on your own theories or biases.

There are a couple of things that don’t add up in Ferrari’s behaviour, which hint that Ferrari favoured Vettel, such as pitting him into traffic and also that quick middle sector for Raikkonen just before he stopped that hinted that the tyres still had some life in them.

But our conclusion – having spoken to insiders, the drivers concerned and strategists involved in the race with deep knowledge of the tyres and what they were doing – is that Ferrari got the outcome it wanted, but on this occasion favouring Vettel wasn’t what they set out to do when they triggered Raikkonen’s stop on Lap 34.

What race feed did you watch ???

they dropped Kimi into traffic with the slower tire for no reason except to give Vetel the overshoot..At least when it was Shumi and Baracello ...MS was man enough to be embarrassed

McLaren Honda made history with 3 DNF'si
