The race on Sunday ended up with the win of the champion Vettel. Ferrari, however, are putting a complain about this as they have been thinking that Vettel has made an overtake of another car while there was a yellow flag. This is against the rules, and if the claim is approved and Vettel is found guilty, then he will recieve a penalty for his actions. The usual penalty in this type of cases is 20 seconds, but that is enough for Alonso to take the first place of the World Championship surpasing Vettel. This is why this action and the decision of the judges are so crucial. They can determine who the winner is going to be in the end. The judges have looked at a video footage about this scene, but they have reached to the conclusion that Vettel did not cheat at all. He gained one position while the green flag was up. How is this possible then when all the viewers on TV including some of the Ferrari crew saw that there was a yellow flag? The answer to that according to the referees is that there was a TV illusion. People looked at the pannel for lights all the time, and Vettel started gaining speeed during that. He surpased the other car after the green flag was up, but the speed gaining started earlier. This is whypeople ot confused and the complain was given. In the end the complain was withdrawn and no penalty was given to Vettel.
