BTW - anyone else notice that RB was not DQ for exiting the pits when on a red light? He only got a stop and go penalty. Last year FM and Fisi were DQed for doing the same thing. Another example of the FIA's consistency...

I believe he got the stop and go because of the refueling during the caution..... and he did get DQ'd for running the red I thought

I was impressed with Bourdais also.. was wondering how champ car skills would translate into F1 - looked very good - he was very close to being in the running for some serious points. They must have been so pissed to have that failure with 2 freaking laps to go!

I was thinking the same thing... He held off some pretty fierce competition so that's got to be a good start.. He could have been the highest finishing Ferrari powered car on Sunday

Dear God that was complete chaos -- did everyone forget how they're supposed to do this? lol

Too bad for Kubica but good on Rosberg!

I was a surprised that RB made no explaination or excuse for running the red light. Given the pit mess you have to wonder what he was hearing over the radio and what he was thinking.

Well it was either exit under red, or have the car sit there for god knows when until it turned green.

I don't think the latter is a viable option. The car would've overheated long before the light went green.
