You've never seen any other team make a mistake during a pit stop? And have you seen his pace? Even if they managed to change tyres in an instant, he's not catching Sebastian any time soon.
I agree that was a genuine hiccup, because they were confused with the tyres..
But with the Webber's first pit stop.. it was a normal scheduled pit stop.. it was just hard to believe..
Lewis knew he was there. Moved over a bit to squeeze, and moved over a bit too much. Bottas was fully alongside him and had nowhere to go.
And Bottas wasn't the first driver to unlap himself in this race. With the changing conditions, there are times when backmarkers are faster than the guys who are lapping them.
Button running 4th after Hamilton's drive-through, with Perez in 6th. Could be set for their best finish all season if the conditions stay as they are.
And Maldonado spins it after tapping Vergne's rear-right.

What about McLaren's botched pitstops in the past few years? Not really convincing if you use that particular occasion to back your argument about RBR's shenanigans. Things like this do happen sometimes. It's a big possibility that it's just a genuine mistake.
It's getting a little bit wacky here. Not much of a wackiness as last year though.
Can someone tell Pastor that cars just don't disappear even when you leave them room and then finally decide to shut the door on them at your leisure. Even with the viability being strange I doubt he can claim he didn't see Vergne.
