   Really feel sad for Hulkenberg. He had the fastest car, best strategy….bad luck in the end.

      I wouldn’t say it was bad luck. Just inexperience.

         First safety car was a joke! They could’ve cleared the debris under double-waved yellow flags.
         So, Button or Hulkenberg who mastered their car under tricky conditions should’ve won!

         @estesark, it is not inexperience! Kovalaïnen didn’t gave them (Hamilton & Hulkenberg) space under blue flags conditions, if he weren’t there, the contact wouldn’t have happen or not the same way.

         Sad for Hulkenberg and Hamilton.

            @jayfreese there was debris on the first couple of corners, turn 4, and the slow bits in the infield.

            It’d have been a whole lap double waved yellows. It’s better to get the Safety Car out…

               @fer-no65, I’ve always seen marshals taking up their balls to go clear the debris on every track of the world, every series of motorsport. The more when the two possible champions didi cry on their radios for a safety car, didn’t they?

               Anyway, that was an outter-atlantic pace car rather than a propoer F1 safety car this time, no safety reason (a puncture isn’t unsafe) no safety car!

         I don’t think it is inexperience, but opportunism. ;)

         It was just opportunism imho.

   Too opportunistic too eager. He has a faster car. he could have wait for a better straight line overtake with DRS. It’s a risk especially when he has a slide just before the incident with LEwis at the corner. Well, couldn’t blame him though . He’s a racer making instance decision while I am a armchair analysis with replay. Hehe. Nice one though. Force India could have a great chance to win and he lost it and a podium finish.

   @jayfreese can’t agree with you more. First the SC and then a quick penalty for a racing incident. Looked like the FIA was hell bent on preventing a Force India podium. Nico Hulkenberg didnt slide by a wide margin for it to be declared his fault.

   Redbull showing why they were the best team this year. Not only their car is fast, and they have very capable drivers .. their pit-crew has also been solid all year. Great job by them.

      @me4me Yep. They delivered well under immense pressure and unpredictable circumstances.
