Secondly, his German 'friend' who you feel 'pulled over' was actually on Dry tyres in increasingly wet (becoming downpour) condition. I challenge you to put 700bhp on a very wet road on tyres that have around 10% of the grip they would in conditions they were designed for and keep the car in a straight line, let alone getting over the finish line.

I am well aware of the tyres he was running. Come on, his german mate drove the previous lap in the wet at a much faster pace, and even if you allow for a bit more tyre wear, i dont recall the weather becoming worse for that final lap - and definately not changing into a downpour as compared to the previous lap. Even the commentators were suprised that he had lost so much time in the last corner. The car didnt spin out of control, to me it looked like he virtually came to a standstill. He probably has free Mercedes servicing for life as a result of his inability to finish the lap at a reasonable pace even for a car with dry tyres in the rain.
