I missed the start (and first 40 some laps) but I called it!
Night before did I not call that?
Sigh....poor Webber. And maintain the gap indeed.
Shame we couldn't see the post race. All they showed was a brief comment with Alonso? f**king Fox....station can't do a single thing right. Maybe Webber violently pummeled Sebastian and they decided not to air it!


I did see Caio, there really shouldn't be any penalty...but knowing the FIA...
I hope not though.

Apparently Brian has said Alonso won 4 times.

Hmm.

He only won once.

Besides, Ferrari were kind of cheating a little in regards to that one-off rule change.  They were barely affected by the exhaust issue.

All shall be restored at the next race and Alonso and Massa will be back off the pace again.

Awful luck for Button.  He would have come out of the pits ahead of Webber I reckon.  Damn it!  Although changing the gun would have kept him in a tad longer, so it would have been close!

Also even worse luck for Di Resta.

Hamilton fort well but the fuel issue was terrible.  Luckily he held off Massa at the end and I think it was just a racing incident.

What the hell has happened with Schumacher?  He admitted to that accident being his fault!  What?!  That's not the same Schumacher.

Schumi seems to smile a lot more now too.  Weird.

Your trolling is terrible, Brian.

I didn't say a bad word about Alonso.  I did mention that Ferrari had an advantage though for this race.

But I'm more annoyed at the team tactics with Redbull.  Mark had Vettel on that last lap.  Grrr!

Seriously, what the hell was that?

"Let's go to the post race interview"
*Alonso says one thing*
"OK see you next time!"

...and I thought Fox couldn't be anymore terrible!! I guess it was for time constraints, wouldn't want F1 to impact any of their lovely programming...   It was on tape! They couldn't edit it in some way to squeeze in 2 more minutes?
Good for nothing Fox


Yeah, don't think anyone likes team orders, especially when someone like Schumi or Vettel are having such dominant years. Can't let Webber have one position once... but hey that's the sport for you.
The risk you run by having both compete is that they could crash each other. Also makes it easier for another team to mount an attack but IMO that's the fun of it. It would be such a great show. Wish I was old enough to have watched Senna and Prost back in the day!

Everyone is boring.
Hami may honestly be the only one I find captivating alive.
At least no one is as painful as Kimi.

Oh I don't know, Webber usually bemoans everything.  I wish he'd really tell us how he feels though rather than his diluted versions.

Hamilton's comments at the end to Leigh McKenzie were amusing though.  I'm not sure if you heard that interview in 'merka though?

I saw a clip of that huge Kubica crash the other day.  Wow.  That was Canada, wasn't it?

You need to see that post-race interview.  Hamilton was saying he's got a Platinum Card to the Steward's Enquiry room now due to all his incidents.

But it's still worth watching, as it's Hamilton saying it, not me.

Hahahaha.  From a different angle though.
