Yes, it was used illegally. But it was not Alonso or Ferrari's fault. You could see Alonso looking in the mirrors thinking 'wtf'

Even though I think it's not Alonso or Ferrari's fault, there is nothing stopping Alonso using the DRS as long as he was using it after the DRS line. Okay, the DRS zone was between the DRS line and the turn 14 but is there a line after turn 14 that telling not using the DRS?

Alonso used DRS illegally
Honestly? it was open but its not like he pressed it with the intension of cheating its just a fault in the system.
The problem is a glitch in the FIA system.

Good ratings Phil, I like them!

Hamilton is a beast, great driver!

Ferrari need to splash the cash on this guy!

His attacking style is what people love to see. Button is boring and too cautious.

Why on earth didn't Sebastian Vettel change to a three stop strategy. It really was a no brainer! He would have won by half a minute.
