Yellow flag green flag or red might not be an issue for me whether at this incident or when over took KOBAYASHI. My concern is the accident Vettel caused hitting Senna. This is no doubt is the fault of Vettel coming from the outside on corner 4 pushing to the inside where Senna line is…this is no racing incident…this is an aggressive and at the same time desperate move of a panicking driver.
From my point of view and with all fairness Alonso deserves the championship. Beside he cant what so ever be compared to Vettel…Vettel still has a long way to go.
And as for the FIA…they are mad for not penalizing Vettel for the cause of accident.
As has been covered elsewhere, this is a bogus claim. There was a waving green flag at the marshal stand at the exit of pit lane. This can be seen very briefly between 17s and 18s on the film, just at the moment SV moves over to make the pass, obviously instigated by the appearance of the green flag. Other images taken from the opposite direction show it as well. This is just a sad attempt to detract from the success of Sebastian Vettel. The saddest part of this approach, is it plays on the ignorance of the reader/viewer – who are led to believe such a blatant move, adjacent to pit lane, in heavy traffic, would be missed or ignored by race stewards, the legitimate press, the FIA, F1, and teams scrutinizing activities.
