With Button, on his final run he was one tenth UP on the fastest time after the first two sectors I believe, and completely backed off in the final sector.

Button = epic fail.

Credit to Alonso for saving that moment though

EDIT: Haters gonna ****ing hate.

Button had no luck with that yellow flag would easily have made it without it, oh well, if is a wet race he still can do something.

could be a while before or even if we get any more running today...so much rain...

He was a tenth up after the first sector and then a second up after the second sector.

Up on the P17 time but 1 tenth up on the P1 time.

I do think McLaren should have come on the radio to JB telling him Glock spun half way down the pit straight.

doesn't matter, waved yellows in final sector mean if you set a faster time under them you get a penalty.

Not really. With new tyres, improving conditions, all he would have to have shown to the stewards is he lifted off the throttle.

Damn too bad Schumacher span, that first sector was epic (purple).

pretty sure it's if you set a faster time...that's what they were saying on TV anyway...

This ranting from EJ is becoming irritating.

That's what they base it on but what if you set a really slow banker lap, and then do a flying lap but back off enough in the final sector to slow, but cross the line still being much faster than your slow banker lap. They can only compare apples to apples. Provided conditions stay the same, a faster sector time shows you didn't lift enough, however if conditions are always changing, a faster sector time cannot confirm you didn't slow down enough. Teams have enough telemitary (or however it's spelt) to show and prove whether the driver lifted or not.

I could be wrong, but that's my take on the rules.

Section from FIA rules 4.1.2 on yellow flags:

- Single waved: Reduce your speed, do not overtake and be prepared to change direction. There is a hazard beside or partly on the track.

That's all it says. So if you can prove you reduced your speed, did not overtake, or did any other avoiding action, you'll be safe.

I think a faster lap is ok, as long as you have a slower sector than before in the waved yellows part. If you have a faster sector, you're in trouble, if not, its fine.

aye but judging how to set a slower sector and have it be a faster lap is likely what caught him out

Yeah, that's right. You need to prove that you lifted where the yellow flags are (i.e a slower sector time).

Looks like it'll probably re-start around 2.50-3.00.
