I agree with both of you 
Seb playing stupid about the contact with Will Buxton was painful to watch. I had started to not mind Seb, but he's back on the shit list now.

Media is reporting that Jean Todt (head of the FIA) is considering bringing him in front of 'The Sporting Court'. Never have I ever heard a more British name for anything.
The stewards came out and said that they made the 10 second decision to have a minimum effect on the title race. Which is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what they should be thinking about. Their job is to make sure that people are playing by the rules, but more importantly that the drivers are safe. Seb infracted on both those fronts -- should have been a black flag.

I just heard that too. Unreal, the show is more important than safety and rules. Awesome.
I've also found it fairly shocking how many people that find HAM at fault for it, like all of it. Leader dictates the pace, even if HAM did slow it is his position to do so, plus he'd already got too close to the SC once before.

I thought I saw something that said they went thru the telemetry and Ham did not hit the breaks. As far as I am concerned this is 100% on Seb, and his reaction was COMPLETELY unprofessional and 100% on him too.

Hammy did not hit the brakes; his deceleration was smooth. Seb just wasn't paying attention. Will Buxton penned an excellent piece about it; Vettel was already under probation for all the times he told charlie whiting to fcuk off over his radio last year in Mexico. The combination of that, the accident, and then his refusal to even acknowledge that it happened much less cop to it is likely going to get him DQ'd from that race. Which means, Hammy is the WDC points leader.
The tribunal is officially meeting on Monday; we should know more then.

You really think they'll DQ him? I'd be shocked.
