Stewards decide not to levy a penalty as the speed deltas were obscured by low fuel warnings. Good.

Now I don't know how this fuel warning system works and all but it sounds a bit dubious, if your in safety car conditions, you know not to go fast....

Wasn't safety car conditions, was just normal yellow flag.  In those circumstances you don't want to slow down completely, only to a safe speed. To help the drivers to that, they have a system that's tied into GPS and gives them a delta to aim for which is displayed on the steering wheel. In this case, the deltas were obscured by a "OMG YOUR ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF FUELZ?!?!?!" message...

Sort of like being distracted by the fuel warning light flicking on in a 40mph roadwork zone when there are policemen watching then...?

If anyone can screw it up from here, it's Jenson.  But I think he'll scrape through like he has all season post Monaco.

I'd quite like Seb to win, but I think he's going to inevitably blow an engine. Jenson's performances when under pressure have been appalling (easy to win when you're driving a car 5 tenths faster than the rest of the field) and Reubens hasn't been that much better.

Next year should be really interesting. Mac and FIArrari should have decent cars again, and I'd expect RedBull to be competitive as well. Fred v Hammi v Seb? Might inject some real interest into the sport!

RBR and Macca running a low downforce setup in expectation of a dry race.

Doesn't help you much if you qualify at the back of the grid!
