FOM, please change your director(s)!

What is wrong with Heidfelds car, another start crash, like in AUS?

When all the drivers abuse things like this, they just add a kerb or gutter the next year to ensure it never happens again.

The running off track is caused by dirty air.....I doubt there'll be protests. If they'd punish all drivers doing so there would be even less action on track!

I wonder how that Ferrari goes so almighty out of that last turn!

I noticed that too. I can see Ferrari or McLaren chatting to Charlie about that - it must have helped Vettel and so is gaining an advantage by going off track.

I don't expect anything to be done though...
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Except Hamilton who was behind both the RB and the Ferrari didn't run off the track...

Hamilton gets doubled slipstream and can afford to back off slightly because he had no one behind.

I'm pretty sure though this has been discussed in the driver's briefing before the race as no commentator here is banging on the running wide in any way.

I know it's early days, but it has to be said, Webber is beginning to fail even in a 2nd driver role.

If McLaren's calculations are based on Red Bull being untouchable, how has Mark managed to find himself in 4th?

He wasn't even close enough for a pitstop undercut to occur, like Seb did. :roll:

Unless Alonso or Hamilton is Vettel's teammate, he won't have a driver as a teammate that can compete on pace.

Is Vettel backed off slightly to make Hamilton chase him in the hope of preventing the undercut? Hamilton's on newer tyres so should be able to kill Vettel's lead if Vettel has to pit a lap or two earlier. I think.
