Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

Great race by Vettel and Webber. Hamilton screwed up and finally got a reward for his risk taking. He could have easily left a bit more room. Button showed what was possible with the McLaren. Ferrari too slow. Who will catch Vettel now?

none :lol: Amazing how slow Ferarri was on the medium tire.... Fred lost line 1s per lap. Ans the DRS was a joke at this track. The overtakes were really easy today

No one. Chamionship is over now and we only watch races now for the fun apart the WDC.

Without SC Alonso could won this race. Why Ferrari didn't pit when SC came ?

Mercedes will kick ass very hard at Monza, Schumacher will be on the podium

I also dont understand why they took no further action to the insident between HAM and KOB...Racing incident is bollocks or is it me that believes that if it was the other way around,they would handle a drive through to HAM with no remorse.(Not that would have make any difference if KOB were punishedsince,HAM's race were effed up eventually)

I thought that a lot of people on this board were too over the top with FIA and Steward's bias but to me it gets clearer each race that their hatred/bias against Lewis starting to stink.

Great drives from Schumacher and Button.Solid drive from Webber too as SV favoured by the Safety Car a tad bit yet again.

Pretty unstoppable IMO. Ferrari has pretty much stop developing their 2011 car, so I wont expect them to catch RBR. Maybe they might have a chance to steal a few points will be in Singapore.

Mclaren is probably the only team who have the pace to challenge RBR, but with Mclaren pit screwing up so often, I dont think they have a chance this years.

I believe they did so to remove the foam from the "Allianz" advertisement panel that Hamilton ruined perfectly :D

As for LH, entirely his fault again! He didn't even look at the mirror to check where Koba was!!! As with Webber in Singapore last year.

DRS makes F1 more of a time trial rather than racing

I don't have the engery to join you. I just accept that this year is not Hamilton's.
He's always wrong remember that. Less stressful when we accept that.

This race was his to win, so was Hungary. When he's not in a race it's a redbull 1-2 and Vettel wins.
We should just give Vettel the crown already.

Boring race today, no fight at the front. And the safety car made it even more boring since there was no real strategy after it.
No hamilton no epicness.
Kobayashi has been causing too many rookie moves since lately. Hasn't seem to get out of his rookie shell when it comes to navigating the track.
For Sure!!
