The controversial incident...
This was the incident that has caused all the controversy. On lap 53, under the safety car, Lewis Hamilton was called in to the pits.
He was on his way in, but at the last minute saw Kimi Raikkonen had not gone in himself and Hamilton cut across the grass separating the pit lane and the track and Hamilton came back on to the track.
Mercedes race engineer Pete Bonnington was heard on the team radio saying 'in, in, in, in, in' before Hamilton decided to stay out, out, out, out, out.

'He could get anything - a reprimand, five or ten-second penalty'
Still we wait. James Roberts, from F1 Racing magazine, has tweeted some quotes from Charlie Whiting, the FIA Formula One race director...

'I was probably the only relaxed one' - Hamilton on original incident
After the race, Lewis Hamilton gave some quotes to reporters about the moment he started to come into the pits and then decided not to.
"I started turning in, then they asked me to box and then I said 'Kimi is pitting' and then they said 'Stay out' and I was already in the lane," said Hamilton.
"So I started turning out and trying to go over the grass and then they said 'no, stay in!' and I was already back on track.
"It was really confusing because they were all panicking on the pit wall, I was probably the only relaxed one," he said. "They were shouting 'yes, no, come in, don't come in'. It was exciting."

Lewis Hamilton wins the German Grand Prix after avoiding time penalty
Simon Baker: Not a Hamilton fan boy, but this is the right decision. A time penalty would only ruin the taste of a great and exciting race.
Jeremiah Kariuki: This must have been the luckiest day for Hamilton!
Euan: That is a revolting decision by the stewards. It doesn't matter how chaotic the race was, a driver cannot cross the white line unless forced to (which Hamilton wasn't). Absolutely outrageous decision.

So relief for Lewis Hamilton after a worrying few hours. But the stewards have given him just a reprimand when a five-second penalty would have left him second and a ten-second penalty would have dropped him to fourth.
Instead, we can now focus once more on his incredible drive that saw him take the victory after starting 14th to retake the lead at the top of the drivers' championship.
So, for a second and hopefully final time today, we say goodbye and that is where we will end this live page. Join us later this week for all the action and more fun and games in Hungary. See you then.
