Just watch lotus lining up behind Mclaren. As Mclaren is more interested in how the tyres is putting up a good show than getting their team to function.
They still managed to almost mess up Hamilton’s stop. Withmarsh either gets his act together or resigns and lets a better hand stir the ship, right now he is on a self distructive path.

I think first of all today an apology is due to Maldonado from the fans who have dismissed him as a mere “pay” driver. It was a brilliantly driven race by him and the team.
I guess Fernando will feel that under the circumstances a win was possible – I don’t think Ferrari is really fast enough to mix with the top teams yet…but Alonso this year has not dropped a single point due to a mistake.
I am still not sure of the reasons for the drive through penalty given to Vettel and Felipe…
The way Kimi was going at the end – it looks like Lotus made a mistake by keeping him out for too long. If he had been brought in a couple of laps earlier – he could well have come second again.

He was holding up Maldonado and
Alonso so that he could come back at them later after his pit stop.

Vettel and Massa both got drive throughs for failing to slow under waved yellow flags after the Schumacher/Senna crash.
There was a shot of Vettel coming down the main straight with his DRS wide open as he passed the yellow flags.
A number of drivers were given reprimands and some penalised last year for this offence so its not a new one. The drivers have to make some effort to slow when they go past waved yellow flags. The Stewards often look at Telementry and compare sector times to determine if the driver did in fact make an effort to slow down.
Jenson and Lewis had trouble last year in Spain if i remember correctly, but got reprimands
