Happy Easter... leave it to the Chins

You may remember Lewis Hamilton reporting over team radio that someone had waved the chequered flag on the wrong lap.

According to the FIA's regulations, "should the end-of-race signal be given before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps the race will be deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the line before the signal was given."

That would mean Kamui Kobayashi's last-lap overtake on Jules Bianchi does not count and the Caterham driver will finish 18th, with Bianchi 17th.
