Just finished watching the highlights on Channel 4, Great comeback drive from Lewis & both McLarens finishing in the points which was good to see.

Was a bit strange how Lewis closed to within seven seconds then got told his car was poorly so turn the wick down........Not that I'm suggesting for one moment there is any conspiracy

It was indeed great to see Fernando and Jenson getting some good points

Sebastian Vettel should have said what he thought after being punted into the barrier!

He certainly fell foul of the TV's Naughty Word Naughty Word Naughty word filter

They knew he could catch him and then imo invented the water problem to slow him down

I said to the other half while watching this yesterday, that I thought that this might've been a 'coded message' not that they are allowed of course that Lewis needed to do some fuel saving.

Sochi is one of the tracks that uses the most fuel and as Lewis was pushing right from the start (and despite the 3 or 4 laps behind the safety car) I'd imagine that had he carried on at the rate he was going, that it would've been touch and go on fuel.

Water pressure problems don't normally cure themselves.
