Just a question, when Hamilton left the track when attempting to pass Vettel in the pic did he rejoin the track properly?
I seem to remember if a driver went off there were some cones on the exit of the corner indication the correct poit to rejoin.

Hamilton did nothing wrong there, it’s been explained umpteen times in various posts. Basically he never took a short cut / straight line because of a braking or other error for which a penalty exists.

As I said, just a question. No time having to read umpteen posts.
Thanks very much!

He rejoined the track to the right of the speedbumps. For the millionth time.

Wow, look at that! Wherlein finished 18th! A driver that retired from the race was clarified in a higher position than that!
OK, i know there is just a bar splitting the P and the 8 but it looks so like P18 :D
