Redbull...
Able to yo yo behind the lotus and still able to draw down and try to overtake.

Able to set fastest lap 6 tenths faster than the next fastest car...

Race was ok, but not exciting. The performance differential between the cars decided who finished where.

Good racing from Bottas and also Hulk. Hamilton and Alonso did well too to manage their tyres.

Perez did a very good race. I'm starting to wonder why Mcalren never dumped Button.
For Sure!!

Thank you Pirelli and FIA for ruining the promissing season. Up until the tire change the season was wide open, but then ...... Vettel got 8 of 8. Such a shame.

I'm not willing to release a source yet, but I spoke to someone about dear Perez, he could be going to Ferrari and replacing Kamui Kobyashi.

Until I know a bit more, its still a grand rumor
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

If I remember correctly Vettel also had an incredibly strong second half of the season for the previous 3 years. Red Bull has been doing that since 2009.

I don't see why people cannot accept that both Vettel and Red Bull actually did a better job than the rest of the field.

No, because it wasn't an unsafe release.
Anyone got video of it?

I don't think this is the reason. Nobody could even get close to Vettel.... after the tire change. period.

I wish to complain about this parrot.

Erm I mean about Greek public TV. They started the race with a 15 minute delay, but then cut out 15 minutes after the Safety Car came out and made it Live. It was a bit weird.
I guess I didn't miss much, how long did that SC last?

But also talk about luck for the TV station. It's like they knew there was going to be a boring SC period so they said:

I believe it is Webber. An absolutely horrible, untalented and overrated driver that got completely destroyed this, and past seasons by his average teammate. I don't understand why he has been active in Formula 1 for this long. Most horrible, untalented drivers hardly drive a season in F1, but Webber did 12!

After the last few races, can anyone see a car other than a Red Bull winning in Brazil? I really can't. Especially with the RB really going well in bumpy traction-dependent tracks. Oh well, at least Webber is good at Brazil. Just, please, if he wins, may it not be a gift like 2011? For the last three or four races, the interest is to see how big the margin is, not who'll win it. Also, I still can't understand why Webber won't get 2nd. Well, yes, I can: multi 2-1, kers, hydraulic, kers, gearbox. Since Canada, that Red Bull has been a *monster*.

PS: Vettel may not be the best driver on the grid, but he's close enough to it so that it doesn't matter.

Oh, and on-topic: the TV producer was suckier than usual...
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

Romain Grosjean, what a performance! Heikki Kovalainen give the "car keys" to Davide Valsechi!
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.

Very happy with Lewis Hamilton's result, nailed the start and had enough tyres left to keep Alonso behind.
