Vettels "tough luck" made me laugh, it was almost as funny as the "you've got to be kidding me" and the raised hand as he was overtaken by the Caterham, comedy gold that.

I think this was the first race that it was clearly demonstrated, i.e Vettel had no (claimed) issues. It was obviously coming though.

Is there a driver lap time chart available somewhere? I didn't see it live and was wondering how fast was DR catching FA there at the end, would have he had a chance on passing FA if the there was no finish flag error there?

Rockie: Saem tire as you, but he's faster.

SV: Tough luck.
I think Rocky said "Primes (same tires at the time), but he stopped later than you ".
Correct, he did. People hear what they want it seems. They also told Vettel that Ricciardo was going to make another stop i.e. 3 stops, but that never happened.

It's been obvious since Melbourne that Seb was not enjoying the PU's and lack of blown diffuser as he has been making far far more mistakes than is normal for him and has rarely out paced Dan across a weekend.

I'm not sure Kimi has ever been better than Alonso, IMO he is the most complete race driver in F1 ... Sort of the Prost of the current F1 generation.

F1Fanatic usually have them but I cannot find them via their site navigation, I've only been able to find historic charts with a google search of F1Fanatic.
