Was Lewis passing Heikki legal?

This is why I hate the different time zones and why every race outside of Europe should be like Singapore ;) Some smart arse will always watch it and then tell us all that are waiting what happens :p :

But Mr Jan Yeo that's the key to watching F1 when not a EU resident.

Rule #1 for non-EU resident F1 fans: Don't access any media of any kind until you have watched the event (practice, qualifying, or race).

Certainly very hard to do when you have to work for a full day before being able to watch the event. But, with discipline, anything is possible, my friend! :)

Moments later McLaren uses the same opportunity with Heikki allowing Lewis to take P5, but... amazingly they'll become the first victims of "no team orders" rule and... Stewards add 25 seconds to LH's and HK's final times, which drop them to 7th and 8th and Massa becomes a WDC!

With this scenario, however, Ferrari has a guaranteed WDC, because drive throughs can't be appealed, no matter how mad the public is. That's why 25-sec will be given, not a disqualification, which can be protested. :p :

I'm going to mark this post because I don't think it'll be too far away from the truth.

I said earlier in the season that this year is like a re-enactment of the film "Escape to Victory".

I guess it is only a year ago since BMW & Williams were not penalised despite their fuel being outside the permitted temperature, and McLaren were told they should have protested the race result not the stewards decision, but I really hope we're spared such controversy this time around :dozey:
