I'm looking at the photo in the story of Vettel and the Red Bull team all holding up three fingers.

Anyone else reminded of three fingered bit in the film Inglorious Basterds?
Funnily enough, that was the EXACT scene I thought of when I saw that photo.

I dont think he has broken any rules nor would i like a title to be decided in a court room though if there was an infraction it should be punished.

What annoyed me more was not only were vettels three team mates happy for him to pass half the others in the field were too. Not too hard getting a top ten when everyones happy to let you glide past like they were back markers or something. Thats not to say i dont think he deserves the title nor is it a comment on his driving skill just felt a bit easy.

Most exciting season for a while, still a few crap circuits need some livening up but overall a nice mix.

That's an old one, cleared as he passed before reaching the yellow sector.
The one Brundle pointed out was a red/yellow low grip flag.
The one being discussed is a third one, where the lights were showing yellow, but apparently a green flag was being waved.
Ok, taa, wasn't aware that that one (HRT) had been cleared up.

Please make it all go away. The only alternative is to go back through all twenty races looking at in-car footage for both Alonso and Vettel scouring each frame for something.

I'd have preferred Alonso to win but he didn't ... roll on 2013.

Vettel is 2012 world drivers champion.

Green flag waving frantically, I have also heard that the race director Charlie was aware of the situation during the race and he made no penalty (was this due to green flag waving?)

I am so glad that ferrari have not won either championship as they have such a bad image in F1 for getting their own way, I was at Silverstone when Schumi was awarded a drive through penalty towards the end of the race and he pulled into the pits at the end, crossed the line and did not serve his penalty and was still awarded the win. farcical

It would be a bit rich if Ferrari complained about this after the post-qualifying gearbox seal incident that promoted Alonso up the grid whilst Massa had to 'take one for the team' & drop 5 places down the grid.

Ferrari are the biggest cheats in F1, everyone knows this to be true. With the exception of Rob Smedley and Massa, everyone in the Ferrari garage seems like a total cock.

Massa seems like a lovely guy, just not a great F1 driver, and Rob is the funniest guy in the paddock.

Ferrari have had more scandals over the years than any other team, and those are just the ones that have come to light.

The RedBull team ethics seem spot on, same as McLarens, that's why you see Horner and Whitmarsh having a chat sometimes, they actually like one another, no-one speaks to Domenicali.

You should take Andrew Benson's job with the way you've just laid the facts out there.

the right decision but a shame as Alonso drove the ass of a poor car to get it where he did, Vettel could sleep the whole race as the red bull was so much faster than everything else, it was like taking an aircraft carrier to a knife for him.

This is a balls up either way now for the FIA, so the least they can do is prove that cheaters don't win.
So handing the WDC to Ferrari would do what???? Oh, hand the WDC to the biggest cheats ever.
