Correct. Just goes to show how urgent it was for him to lift off and let Vettel and Alonso past.

Massa finished the race, he ran out of fuel around turn 3 I think on the lap back to the pits.

Button may do so total-number-of-points-wise, but he won´t beat ´Keke´ Rosberg in percentage increase, or the final result: The season before the one in which Rosberg claimed the WDC he failed to score a single point!

I remember ‘MAS’ appearing on the screen just before ‘HEI’ did. So he must have crossed the finish line.

Hi All,

please can anyone advise. How did Massa end up with a points finish, I thought a driver had to finish the lap (if they are on the same lap as the race leader) and only drivers + 1 lap are allocated places even if they don’t cross the finish line.

thanks.
Bob.

I think Vettel could be a champ, but don’t write off Ferrari and Mclaren!

Well, Red Bull is coming with a big update for Monaco. If they win all races from then on and Webber comes behind Vettel, a lot could still happen

fminas:
No, he has to cover more than 90% of the distance covered by the winner.

Oh, sorry for telling it wrong. I didn’t know that. ;]

@ mire
It doesn’t look like anyone could steal the championship away from Button this season, does it?
