The stewards have access to more information than TV, Kobayashi may have been well off the throttle, and vettel maintaining speed, if thats the case, overtaking isnt a problem (as long as it wasnt in a dangerous manner, obv)
Im sure if Vettel was putting in decent sector times, under yellows, he would have been penalised.
I no Vettel symapathiser, in all honesty I wanted Alonso to win the title (never thought i'd say that!) but only under racing circumstances, if in whatever unlikely situation, vettel gets a delayed penalty and Fernandy gets it, its not for being hte better driver.
I agree the 1st lap incident should have been investgated, but 1st laps are notorious for accidents, and there is a lot more leeway given. Still, he turned in to far, and hit someone who did nothing more wrong than be driving in the same bit of road.
Next season cannot come soon enough, some cracking races this year. i would say Interlagos was the highlight though.
Vettel proved (again) that he is a pretty decent driver when he has to be.
Many others would have retired after the 1st lap crash, and if the title wasnt on the line, he probably would have done, considering the amount of damage his car sustained.
