it did look like a yellow light to me .... I heard something about the yellow light was on because of slippery conditions and wasn't therefore a yellow yellow light for an accident or debris on the track

is that like the distinction between rape and rape rape?

good question... then there's the case of the flagman waving a green flag, that will come into play also

thank God...

It has emerged that the incident was not investigated during the race because a green flag was being waved at a marshals' post after Turn Three. Vettel only began his move after passing that flag.

"The incident wasn't reported to stewards in the first place because it didn't seem like there was a need to report it at the time," Norman Howell, the director of communications for the International Automobile Federation (FIA), said. "Now that Ferrari has sent us a letter asking for an explanation we will give it to them."

That means the move was viewed at the time as legitimate and so race control, which judges potential infringements, was not informed and the stewards did not become involved.
