"Our correspondent" James Allen said on Radio 2 this morning that if you look closesly there's a green flag being shown on the exit of the pitlane, before Vettel overtook. I can't see it.

I've watched F1 long enough to believe they'll some how find a way of letting Vettel get away with this one, just like they found a way to let Red Bull get away with the engine maps.

 

Check again, a little hard to see, but it is indeed there.

Between 8 and 10 seconds on this clip. You'll see the yellow light on the right, the Marshall post is on the left a little after, but a good 50m before the Johnny Walker sign.

Green flag is a green flag, he did nothing wrong apart from disappoint sore losers.

 

Okay so that makes it clear; it's the footage with the big graphic on it that hid the marshal's post.

So why is there all this fuss? It's been all over the headlines.

 

There will be a "still" of the marshalls booth then that will come to light later on today. Its very difficult to tell, but I cant make out a yellow falg. So it must be green, if at all one is being waved.
Therefore it will be legal pass indeed

 

No idea.

This is a lol.

How are the Vettel haters going to deal with that? 3 titles and 2 brilliant drives from dead last and still refered to as a pussy and a cheat, and now this, a legal overtake!
Maybe some people need to chill and look up "flag" and "light". They are not the same.

 

I still don't like Vettel and he was very lucky to avoid a penalty weaving infront of Lewis in Texas.

It's just that I also like to be fair and he hasn't done anything wrong here.

 

with above.

If that is a waved green flag before the last yellow light, and the rules state that a marshal with a flag over rules the lights, then the overtake was legal end of debate.

Vettel is still a cock though />
