The Ferrari has definitely more grunt! Hamilton should take a lesson from Rosberg how to deal with a bad result. Very talkative and analytical nico in the interview

Good racing between Vettel and Alonso, shame about the bitching on the radio though (yes, I know why they do it but it takes the shine off their performance)
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Vettel can barely keep up with the Ferrari with the DRS open. Surely 30-40HP.

Boarder line for Alonso braking on apexes. Is that not brake testing?

The RB downforce has got the Ferrari in the corner but the straight line speed seems to go to Ferrari.

Yeah but the best guys always complain the most. We don't like but they do it, and that's why they win. Alonso and Vettel are just being racey trying to get any advantage, even if it comes from the stewards or bending the rules.

With the DRS open Vettel is ~10km/h faster than Alonso, it would be more if the difference was indeed 30-40 hp.

What about tyres? Under breaking, corner exit, you can't blame top speed all the time. Considering where they started it's amazing they fight each-other. Now Vettel after his usual mediocre driving ;-) is whining instead of overtaking slower car.

Alonso - whining about track limits, what a hypocrite :-)

With DRS + being diectly behind another car you would expect 20 -25km/h so 30-40HP should be about right.

Was hamilton not talkative in australia? He needs his quiet time sometimes. Imagine yourself cock up a few times and see how well you'll do speaking to the nosy people who really have no vested interest in your plight

Track limits from Vettel!! FIA is a joke. Edit: he only overtook because he closed the gap by going off track and carrying more speed.

Man, this could have been such cool racing without those pussys complaining all the time. Both left the track several times. Just shut the --- up and race!
