14 pts | Passing Karthikeyan, Vettel cut across in front of the Indian and the two made contact. The contact sliced Vettel’s rear tyre and caused a puncture. Vettel then proceeded to give Karthikeyan the middle finger and fist as Karthikeyan passed him back. Whilst Karthikeyan was punished with a drive through penalty for the incident, Karthikeyan did leave space and was to the far left of the track. In our review of the video, Vettel cut across too early or misjudged the exit speed of the HRT. Vettel went on after the race to call Karthikeyan and “idiot” for the way he drives |

 |
10 pts | In the closing moments of the race, Redbull set out to confuse Vettel First they informed him that he must retire the car from the race. This tactic means that retiring the car with a plausible reason means they can work on the car more than if they finish the race. With Vettel not in a points scoring position, this seems like a good idea. However, moments later they tell Vettel to carry on. And then in another 180 degree change, they ask him to stop the car on the track. Vettel seems to ignore all of these requests and crosses the line. The radio issues from earlier seemingly playing their part. |
