And before you mention that he could have just driven straight off the track to get out of the way, first remember that off the track was very wet and may have resulted in a DNF since he was facing the wrong way. Secondly, Button came up onto him on the outside, opposite of di Resta, so had Hamilton stayed put or closed the outside to Button, it is possible that Button would have been hindered either way. (That is by either having to follow di Resta as a back marker through the scene or go off the track on the outside, in which Hamilton still might have recieved a penalty for it.)
Question for you:

Have you ever done a track day or been on a race track ?
