| I kept nodding off during the race but I'm glad I was awake for the last couple of laps because that's when it really got interesting!
The rain started falling and with the drivers all on dry tyres they started slipping and sliding all over the place. It's dangerous to stay on dry tyres in those conditions but with just 2 laps to go what can you do?
Hamilton pulled off a briliant overtaking manouveur but he and Raikonnen were really struggling to stay on the track. Raikkonen crashing out after leading for the majority of the race was unfortunate and his World title hopes are probably over now.
I think it was the events just prior to Hamilton overtaking Raikonnen that caused him to be given a penalty. He had to abort one attempt and in doing so cut across a corner and also forced Raikkonen to take evasive action, which resulted in him going off the track at one stage.
