Lack of rain. Or Bruno Senna/Virgin pit crew!
Murray: "This could give Mika Hakkinen his opportunity to get past Ralf Schumacher, as Nigel Mansell did to Senna in 1959."
Martin: "I was born in 1959; I think it was a touch later than that, Murray!"

Potential nomination to the stewards, if Massa is penalized for celebrating...

Given that Vettel, albeit off camera, celebrated winning the title in Japan by doing donuts (admittedly he did them in the tarmac run off area at Turn 1 there and not on the track itself), I think that the most Massa would get for that, assuming the stewards took any action at all (and so far they have not taken any action it seems), would be a fine and a caution from the stewards.
Anyway, I think that Glock's botched pit stop probably takes the award here (I was briefly worried when the tyre bounced across his car that it'd go over the wall and onto the track, as that could have lead to a very nasty accident) - the stewards are currently investigating that, and you have to assume that they'll be getting a fairly hefty fine for that.

Sebastian Vettel for two comments he made on the radio.

1. "I feel like Senna in '91" Senna won the race in a car that was missing 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears in the rain. Vettel had to short shift slightly and lost a couple of tenths per lap and finished second.

2. Horner told Vettel "short shift you have a serious gearbox problem" to which Vettel replies "But then I'll fall behind." Duh you'll fall behind, but that's better than not finishing at all.

1- Virgin
2- Those who look at weather forecasts, cry rain, build a chaotic race expectation and then learn the hard way that weather forecasting isn't an exact science, complaining comically about it in the aftermath. You know who you are! :lol:

Bruno Senna - I totally agree with the penalty for him as she just slid into Schumi when he had no hope of successfully defending the position, then he was messy afterwards too. Brazilian home curse is back!

With a nod the weather forecasters AGAIN.

I'll go for the broadcast for Speed when Button put "an amazing pass" on Alonso but cut to the reaction of the McLaren crew instead...

It turns out Di Resta had a gearbox problem as well!
