Let's just say I don't have a single drop of English blood in me.

If you have a video or screenshots to prove your case, I'd welcome it.

Back left flies straight over the speed bump.

Speed bump extends all the way to the light green.

Fair enough, it appears his left rear may have clipped it.

Obviously not required to go around the bollard, though. I guess the rules allowed a clipping of the bumps.

Another question is - if Hamilton were to cop a penalty for that, would Vettel cop one for pushing him off track?

The incident was investigated if I remember correctly, and no further action taken.

He should. If there was a wall there Vettel would have caused a massive incident. And just like you should have to keep to the track like there are walls there (imo), penalties should apply in the same way.

Luckily next race we don't have to imagine

Not strictly F1 but Nando was inside the top 20 in first practice for the Indy 500

Ironically enough, he had a suspension problem.

He will be top 10 come raceday IMO.

It would be amusing (via schadenfreude) if his engine blew up on the first lap come race day.

Have rewatched the footage - Lewis definitely didn't hit any of the speed humps, which is presumably why he was able to come straight back onto the track.

Cute interview with the crying kid. His face at the end when Ted says he is the "star of the race"
