Lewis Hamilt💙on, Jenson Button, Mark Webber and Jaime Algueꩲrsuari have all been reprimanded after failing to slow for the yellow flags in the latter stages of today's F1 2011 Spanish Grand Prix.

The indiscretions occurred near the end of the 66-lap race, when Team Lotus man Hei🌜k🌺ki Kovalainen crashed out on lap 51 at turn 4.
