Hearing Hamilton on the radio saying that they should save the engine and the gearbox makes me hate Mosley so much more. I hope FOTA does breakaway because as long as the FIA rule things they are going to do nothing but ruin the sport.
You now have a driver that is ready to pack it in rather than press on because he has to use his engine for more than one race. That's absurd.

"A very gloomy-sounding Lewis Hamilton, lying 19th, tells his McLaren team "we should save this engine and this gearbox" but he is told to "concentrate on the driving and leave the strategy to us" because it may still rain."

Sebastian Vettel into the pits from fifth. The one-two-three is Massa, Barrichello, Raikkonen but neither of the Ferraris have stopped yet.
Just a reminder of the FUEL-ADJUSTED GRID (with projected race first pit stops*)
1 Webber (lap 21)
2 Vettel +0.250 (lap 19)
3 Hamilton +0.614 (lap 18)
4 Barrichello +0.617 (lap 14)
5 Button +0.838 (lap 13)
6 Sutil +1.474 (lap 28)
7 Kovalainen +1.524 (lap 21)
8 Massa +1.906 (lap 25)
9 Raikkonen +2.025 (lap 26)
10 Piquet +2.048 (lap 26)
* Calculated on the weight of fuel left in cars after qualifying had finished
