But the penalty was wrong!
As Sato stated Button was overtaking him!!!!
Down the main straight Button was overtaking Sato right up to the yellow flags, saw the yellow flags, backed off for fear of taking a penalty himself and let Sato back through!
Sato was unfairly penalised as a result of Button backing off and this penalty should be revoked under review by people who actually pay attention.
I'm basing this on watching the end of lap 1 / beginning of lap 2 so I may be wrong but it sure looks like Sato is in the right to me.
update ; I've watched this 4 times now and Sato is ahead of Button coming off turn 13, Button is alongside him right up until the yellows and then the footage cuts away to follow a Spyker/STR overtake.
Button backed off seeing the yellows and Taku got nailed unfairly. Not Button's fault but this needs to be looked at again by the officials as it's really unacceptable that he get a 10 place drop for this.
If I'm right. Which I might not be as the footage cuts away at precisely the wrong moment to be sure, dammit!
