His slick tyres in the wet might have something to do with it Linky

I can't find anything on the sites about it. I did get distracted by the pit babes though....

Someone is going to be seriously unpopular if it is!!!

"Rain in the closing stages had prompted the first five - Massa, Renault’s Fernando Alonso, Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen, Hamilton and Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel - to pit for wet tyres. Crucially, Timo Glock, running sixth for Toyota, did not."

There's your investigation - nuff said!!

reckon the poking out tongue tells you everything

i was thinking all through the race that hamilton just needed to copy massas every move to ensure he kept his advantage. Worked well, better if he had pitted at the same time for slicks at the beginning!

I cant think why he'd want to throw it, and if he did, a spin would be much more believeable!

Neither Toyotas pitted for wet tyres and on the last lap they both posted laps almost 20 seconds slower than the other runners that did.

I have to take my hat off to glock that he actually managed to keep the car on the track.

Im sure Ferrrari International Assistance are adding an addition to the rule book as we speak . Watching on ITV it sounded like the commentators didnt have a clue where Glock was and then suddenly he was in the picture and overtaken. Shocking and excellent finish

Hamilton has been disqualified for putting his steering wheel on upside down whilst being harassed by an official & trying not to be caught in the explosion when Button's car went up!

Thank **** for that, I missed the start of the highlights and wondered if they'd said something on that!
