Alonso Jump Start

OK, so Vettel was slow to get off the line...but did Alonso jump the lights at the start? I'll have to review the tape, but thought it was a fair start for Freddy.

He had to do the drive through...but may have won if this penalty was not given him.

Charlie Whiting already made up his mind within seconds of the start. He should of thought for a minute and reviewed the tape.

Fernando Alonso described his jump start in China as a 'serious' but unprecedented mistake.

The former champion vaulted from third to first off the line having moved too soon, but was ultimately able to recover to fourth in the crazy, rain-affected, race.

"I made a serious mistake at the start as my reflexes let me down and I left early," said Alonso.

"It's never happened to me before and I am very disappointed with myself.
