I assume the shot then was of one of the chief Ferrari mechanics being told what Kimi was up too, he didn't look best pleased!

Race Over, BOOOOOOOOOOO
Why are you booing? It's not worth endangering the safety of the drivers...
Why are the drivers still getting prepared to get back in their cars?
Button wins again!
Kimi is pleased with his decision now...
So, Button winner, Glock second and Heidfeld third (one pit stop only; quite amazing!)
Aaaah it wouldn't be Sunday afternoon if there wasn't some first rate Formula 1 farce going on. You wonder at how much energy has been exhausted behind the scenes playing politics...
Congratulations Button, two wins out of two, can't do better than that!

Because i wanted to see a whole race, it would be ok for them to race now, just stupid bernie and his stupid race time has fecked this GP up
Give it a few days, stewards will probably decide everyone has to fly back out there and complete 10 more laps or something...
So Lewis finished 7th now not 6th
Awww Button.. Happy for him, well deserved 
You're just a kid - grow up...
how am i a kid?
Bernie has put this race at 5pm local time dispite being told its a stupid time
there is no reason the race couldnt have been an hour or 2 earlier
Eh? Why has Webber been promoted up the order? They've took half a point of Hamilton, they don't miss a bloody trick do they...
because they went to the last lap that button completed a whole lap, anything to make Hamilton lose points eh
Glock is 3rd now
Glock is 3rd now
I might got this wrong but im sure Lewis was 5th when the safety car came out then he was 6th for some reason now 7th.
What A Farce
The Fia Are Racists

Even Lewis thought he was 5th what a farce.
hamilton thought he finished 5th
give it a few days and he will probably be demoted more for sitting in his car for too long during the wash out, and Kimi will get promoted as he did the right thing in eating an ice cream in his shorts
FIA couldn't do anything else I think, given the rules and all.
The farce was letting the race start that late in the first place.

For that, yes, I agree with you!
Maybe I'm losing it, has been a crazy day after all, but didn't Button complete lap 32? Why have we gone back to lap 31, which was when the safety car came out?
feckers.
There's no conspiracy against Hamilton - what Hamilton got for Melbourne was only right - staying quiet about something you know is equivalent to lying. He was trying to cheat his way to third. If he had been a little honest, he'd have been third...
And before judging anything concerning today, it'd be necessary to know the fachts...

It would seem that under these circumstances, the regulation is that the ranking at the end of the previous lap is the one that counts...
Actually it's not. It's known as "being economical with the truth" and is often done in all other walks of life (including the legal process) with impunity.
Formula one is officially shit...
dont think ill bother watching any more races

Why is F1 shit now? The race was very exciting imo before the really heavy rain started.
Is that confirmed then, he didn't lie, he just didn't reveal all the facts known to him at the time?
Is there actually a rule that says if you that says the punishment for such an action is to lose all your race points? Or did they just make it up as they went along?
Remember when Massa dangerously drove into an opponent in the pit lane? And got a paltry fine? Hamilton doesn't reveal the full truth after the race, and he loses all his points and the threat of season long expulsion hangs over him...
F1 eh
Agree with this. Seems like an odd day to state that F1 is shit..
I'll wait to say anything about Hamilton until I know what exactly happened with his two place drop. I still don't get it...
There's something about this that just too complex - FIA have created to many regulations!
It's not about not saying the truth - it's about duping... Anyway, the debate's always going to be out there... Who cares? We can't control that...
I think it's in the rules to take the standings from the lap before the red flag or something.
because ive just watched a "race" where they spent most of it sitting in the rain counting down the clock...
all because its no longer about racing but about tv schedules and frankly it just struck me as being entirely vapid...
i remember the days of senna and prost and looking forward to the races... today it just lost its soul in my eyes
It was a bad decision to start the race that late, I agree with that, but today they couldn't have done anything else.
Shame the race was suspended
Fantastic race before that
I've been watching F1 for a bit now, but only now really starting to like the sport.

Under the circumstances, quite right!
