And aren't the radio transcripts available to the race stewards? Therefore... Unless they use some fancy code. And I suspect the only code Fernando would have been using would have been some choice vocabulary. :) But but… in order for this mysterious engine trouble to occur, surely McLaren would have had to gently suggest it over the radio.

That hair has an otherworldly aura about it. Rugby should make him their David Beckham. I can imagine the slogan now. "Monty - he's like Beckham but he can put away penalties and has better hair" Actually that's a crap slogan, but you get the gist. Monty is the bomb-diggity. That hair has an otherworldly aura about it.

Surely that can't happen. Alonso could quite legitimately develop "engine trouble" which forces him to drop behind Hamilton :) I have heard of this theory about the toe touching the line, but it took someone to mention it (and then a super slow motion replay by the England commentary team) to make me see that the try shouldn't have been allowed. Very tough call. <strong>Darwin</strong> Carter? Really?

Overly harsh not to award it. That said, his toe apparently touched the line before he lifted his foot. I did not see these 'later replays'. I'd have loved it if Alonso was asked to move over. However, I would also have loved it if McLaren had got disqualified for team orders then. :) ’twas a try, methinks. Overly harsh not to award it.
