Ferrari In-race Assistance helping out their boys once again. Bollocks did Lewis do any weaving before Fred ran out of talent. Sure he was quicker than Lewis but like I said above he can't seem to overtake people anymore.

Massa did far worse in Melbourne when trying to keep Button behind him and gets sod all punishment. Nothing like un-biased officials. This "sport" is a f**king joke.

I also don't think Fred should have been given a penalty either. It was just a racing incident.

i'm surprised by stewards decision.
this is stupid.
they both raced hard.
no more than Massa zigzaged few weeks ago - again stewards ruled against mclaren and in favour of ferrari
i'm Ferrari fan but don't want them to take points in a questionable way...

good to see Jensen and Nick on podium.
both IMO are good but not lucky enough.

Seb is the man.

good race.

Its a shame the FIA seem hell bent on destroying F1, even after it gave us a classic race today, the FIA go ahead and ruin it and leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

The best "battle" seemed to be well down the order - other place changes were about tyres more than anything.

When I first saw the incident between Alonso and Hamilton it looked like Hamilton was slow getting on the gas (intentionally or not) coming off the bend. But Alonso should not have put himself in that position.

Well done Button, top driver

Great race all round really, the track lends itself to some good overtaking.

DiResta is doing quite well too.

I was waiting for someone to use that tired old cliché. Although the only person they assisted by these penalties was Kobyashi.

I certainly think that Sepang generates a terrific race year on year.

Anyway next race China, will get the track up tomorrow, there is no waiting around in F1 at the moment!

I think there is a huge following of F1 in the UK for sure. The USA and Canada tend to follow other motorsports, which is fair enough I guess. I just think Indy cars and NASCAR is a bit boring! Mind you, some people say the same about F1 so...!
