Sebastian Vettel has won the Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal in dominant fashion after starting from pole position. The fights were all happening behind him, with Alonso emerging in second place, followed by Lewis Hamilton who completes the podium for Mercedes AMG.
Hamilton might have started going down that path around halfway the lap, but certainly the intend was not spending a whole lap behind Sutil. Regardless of that, Sutil should have atleast slowed down when coming to the 3th blue flag. He made no attempt at all to let Hamilton through, and he was driving all by himself. Sutil really had nothing to loose with slowing significantly down.stefan_ wrote:It actually looked to me that, considering the fact that Hamilton was not that close to Sutil, he was staying behind to catch the DRS and defend from Alonso.turbof1 wrote:if i am correct, he ignored the blue flags 3x.

Same with van de garde; he ignored the flags also 3x, and ran into Mark Webber. The stop 'n go was fully justified.
With Giedo was the right call, unfortunately he got lost a little bit today.
Alonso would have gotten Hamilton eventually. Sutil only made it happen sooner.ringo wrote:I didn't get to watch the race, was sutil the reason ALonso got the overtake on Hamilton?
No, Hamilton fended Alonso off that time. Alonso got him the next lap, with the 2nd DRS zoneringo wrote:I didn't get to watch the race, was sutil the reason ALonso got the overtake on Hamilton?
I see red and yellow lights, and steward with blue flag. Not interesting IMO.otbsti wrote:Anyone else catch the possible Alonso pass under yellow during the race? Not sure if it was another telemetry screw up, but interesting just the same:

Pathethic stuff on the fans behalf. But what can you do. It's canada after all. All ferrari there, much like monza.Hobbs04 wrote:I actually felt bad for vettel up on the podium. The audio picked up a lot of the crowd booing. It clearly bothered him.
If I recall correctly, it doesn't matter if you're lapping a car or not... you can't pass under yellow flag conditions because you need to show that you've slowed to obey the yellow flag, not accelerate past another car after slipstreaming them. You can't have a race speed sector in a sector with yellow flags.zeph wrote:Yes, it was yellow but he was not overtaking. He was lapping a backmarker under the blue flag.
It looked that way to me. The NBC commentators caught that, too, and feared a rear-tire puncture for Alonso.andartop wrote: Was it just me or did anyone else think there was an ever so slight contact between Lewis and Alonso during the overtake?
