are you talking about before or after the flag
This comment was about before the flag ... this is getting confusing ;)

I guess that is the problem with "revenge" moves ;)
the stuff before the flag happens in racing no big deal really. After the flag both need an ego check.

if you look at a race thread from a few weeks ago the same people defending hamilton now are the same ones that thought button should move out of the way to let him through. Its just fun to get them all worked up. In reality both can be blamed here Maldo pushed hammy wide hammy turned down into him give them both a slap on the wrist and move on.
get real, pastor was compltely in the wrong and did ALL the swiping. get some glasses!!!

What's interesting is that the McLaren seems to be the faster car in the middle sector which could help with the DRS zone.

Remind me, what part of Hamilton driving in a straight line, cruising down the road is worthy of "a slap on the wrist", "an ego check" or "a penalty"?

Vettel is a qualifying ace,would have given Senna a run for his money. I dont know how Lewis will react if they are in the same car & Vettel out-qualifies him most of the time.

Why is MSC allowed to race? He didn't make it through the 107% barrier. Someone know the rules here?

MSC is farther back its most likely going to rain so the car wont matter as much.

Wow. I was convinced Mark or Lewis had it. :wtf:

I don't like the busstop chicane incident between Lewis and Pastor, but that was just about ok; Pastor should have seen it happen and turn in a hundredth later. But Pastor should be penalized for trying to take Lewis out. That's just like something I would do in F1 2010 to the A... Never mind :mrgreen:
