l thought it was just Kubica who made Hamilton run wide slightly, but Hamilton said after the race that his car had no downforce.l think it was a combination of the two - Clearly if you watch it again you will see Hamilton is front end twitch as he struggles for grip.

Hamilton is car was vulnerable enough that all it took was a little bit of interference from another driver to make him run wide. Vettel took full advantage.

Kubica was naughty.

A lot of naughty things happened that day.

Ironically what happened to Glock was genuine! lol

Kubica did make a silly & pointless move,just sour grapes perhaps,but l give full credit to Vettel-he did what he is paid for,and that is to get max points. Hamilton had been saying since Friday that his car did not handle well on that track,and l do not blame him at all for sitting back & easing it home-especially since he was using the engine for the 2nd time. Mind you,it was bloody silly to let a car unlap itself just to be a good sport,knowing his car did not handle & Vettel was up his chuff! he should have expected Vettel to try something,it is a race,after all! Still,they're back on slicks next season,and sans the silly horns,etc. on the bodywork. Should be a season with some overtaking in it! [lets hope so!]

1.28 to a 1.44 for Lewis is mate and the track temprature was the same

With a couple of laps to go, it was raining, but not heavily enough for the Inters that Hamilton & Vettal were using to be optimum, it was still dry enough for dry tyres to be the best.

Vettel was all over Hamilton but could not get past as he had a better setup for the wet with more downforce.

Hamilton, in my opinion saw Kubica lunging up the inside at Juncao & jumped out of the way rather than risk an accident that would cost him the title, Kubica was quicker still as it was not wet enough for his dry tyres to lose heat as he was on the racing line. Hamilton is move meant he was offline & had to slow down to avoid running of the wetter track offline where they were probably marbles as well.

This allowed Vettel to nip through on the racing line, following Kubica.

Hamilton is mention of having less downforce was a general comment about his car in the wet.

McLaren & their drivers were rather foolish having such a low downforce setup when the forceast was for rain, u could see on the timing charts in qualifying that there were slow in the middle sector of the lap in the dry, let alone the wet.

Talent, driving abiltiy, aggressive cornering, taking advantage of slipstreaming and a determined attitude.

Hamilton is car was setup for low downforce which meant he would have problems in the rain.

However, Kubica definitely did not make it easy for Hamilton as he un-lapped himself
