Would love to be a fly on the wall in the Red Bull garage tonight.

Did anyone else see Vettel do the "mental" hand gesture when outside the car?

As noted by Martin, when Webber sits back and thinks about the actual result (Webber 3rd, Vettel dnf), vs the likely result before racing ensued (Webber 1st, Vettel 2nd) he won't be so disappointed.

which is great, as it turned out.

Wouldn't have looked too clever if they had taken each other out too!

Really enjoyed the race. And McLaren showed RB how to race within the team.

Rule No.1: Don't take your team mate out
Rule No.2: Don't take your team mate out. Really. Don't.

looks like a couple of communication issues between teams and drivers.

Why was Lewis not jubilant at the end, why did both cars get told they were low fuel?

Was Webber told to turn his engine down and Vettel to turn his up just before the accident?

Sounds like it was far more entertaining than the crappy England - Japan football match. What a waste of 2hrs of my life . Oh well! will now sit back and watch the GP on catch-up.

Yes that was great even before the incidents. None of this winning by 60 seconds nonsense; there was nothing between the top four all the way the through.

Rumours abound that Weber had been told to turn his engine down, and Vetel turn his up, being the favoured Red Bull driver. And Hamilton was obviously very upset about being told to save fuel and have Button overtake him.

The McLarens did bang wheels too. If both Red Bulls had gone out, and the McLarens had taken each other out too, who'd have won? Michael Schumacher. I'd bet he'd have smiled on the podium.
