I think the FIA should have a look at those Ferraris...

@EliGP is hilarious

"Considering the day Massa had, I wouldn't be surprised if he got a penalty for hitting the kerb"

crash boy, act again!!!

It's Massa's fault this time.

front tyre hamilton vs rear tyre massa.

Massa was a few metters in front of hamilton

I don't think is massa fault

Massa knew that Hamilton was there. He should've given him the space.

Why?

Hamilton was on dust zone, and Massa can brake a few metters latter (as happen), so Hamilton was there, but he was 2-3 (edited, metters) back him.

They are fighting, why he must let hamilton overtake him?. I think hamilton must brake and avoid collision

Massa out, same as other day

Hamilton didn't have to brake but equally Massa must know if he turns in, Hamilton has absolutely nowhere to go except in to the side of the ferrari. It's about giving him a little bit of room. Massa would have had the inside for the following right hander anyway.

[iceman1]

Alonso has done it.

Button FLAP 1:28.523

[phil1993]

Button really gaining on Vettel now.

[iceman1]

The gap was 6.666 secs before 2 laps, it's down to 5 secs only.

18 laps to Go!

[dacer]

then any car on outside must let the other one overtake him?

And must invite him a coffe or an icecream?

Inside car, can not overtake on straight or braking, so he must avoid collision

[Ferrariman60]

That would be really nice if Button could take the fight to Vettel!

[iceman1]

@EliGP: Massa not taking his helmet off, not because he's angry, but just in case he hits something else in the paddock

[phil1993]

No, but when you're as alongside as Lewis was, you don't turn in as if he isn't there. I still think it was a racing incident though

The drivers were told in Korea if there is a car on the inside you must leave at least a cars width.

[Ferrariman60]

Personally, I think the attacking drivers has just as much an obligation to attempt an overtake in a way that does not jeopardize the race of the driver in front of him as the defending driver does to the driver trying to attack.
Massa could have given Hamilton more room, Hamilton could have tapped the brake.

[iceman1]

Vettel has now broken the most laps led in a season record (694+)

[dacer]

hamilton in front of vettel, going to be lapped (+1 pit stop)
