Webber amazing drive, horrible start, great podium.
A lot of respect for button and his amazing drive.
Shumi has been trully fantastic today, from 24th to 5th nice!!.

Well done to the top five.
Vettel wins!, Back on the top step after a mid season wobble. Webber 2nd after a great recovery from a bad start. Button 3rd after a bad start a wing failure and bad quali (Drive of the day). Alonso 4th, Schumacher 5th, Rosberg 6th, Sutil 7th, Massa 8th, Petrov 9th and Maldonardo 10th.
Interesting race. Yes there was a lull in the middle and Vettel ran off with it but Jenson Button proved that he is the currently the form driver by passing pretty much everyone, and Schumacher recovered a dismal qualifying to a great 5th.

Lots of good drives this race.
Schumi's best race of the season, hell probably his best since his comeback, Button did a great job to get on the podium, and Webber beasted the prime tyres.

Surprisingly entertaining race. Appreciate the intermission in the middle when I thought it was all over and they put Webber on the hard, but the results are alright.
Still can't stand Vettel though. Love to have seen what would've happened without that SC and pit.
PS. Where the hell was everyone for Steamchat?

So fucking pissed at Ferrari, yet again they don't pit under the safety car and fuck up the race for Alonso. They are consistently inept at strategy and losing places due to crap pit stops, it's infuriating.
Saying that, it was an enjoyable race. Loved seeing Schumacher coming through the field and Button doing well despite their mishaps. Just a shame the race result cemented Vettel's lead yet again.

Vettel saved by SC after Monaco

The decision not to stop during the SC was due to Alonso's tyres degradation being nowhere near Vettel's and I don't think he had any new sets of options left. I suspect Ferrari were banking on Vettel making two more stops after the SC but he managed to stretch his second stint to convert his strategy into a 3-top race. Ferrari couldn't do naything against that, RBR were too fast on the primes and Alonso couldn't afford to make two more stops.Deathcraze said:
I hope Monza has the McLarens back on an equal footing with the RBRs and Ferrari from the start (So Hamilton not being involved in crashes and Button managing to qualify well). Aside from that, more of the same please!Ark said:

That guy that looks like a smug personal shopper and hands the top three their caps and watches must have a field day during the closing laps of some of the races. "Which watch and cap should I have ready?? Hope he doesn`t overtake that dude cuz` I have no idea where the Casio is!"
Also, for some reason, I get the impression that he uses his line of work as a massive pick-up line: "I work with Formula, yeah, lots of cash and private parties and Monaco and casinos and money, money, money... Wanna tag along to HRTs hospitality area and check my camber...?

Great drives from Vettel, Button and Schumi. With so many starts in his career you'd think Webber would understand how it works by now.
German anthem is great, Austrian is crap.

The lurkers always tend to come out when something controversial happens, then sink into oblivion once they're called out by the reasonable, well-mannered, core contributors of this thread. :/Ark said:

If there was no safety car he might've won anyway, he really did a great job on the primes. but that's racing.

Thats the big if game. Hamilton could have won if he didnt crash, Webber could have won if he had a good start. Alonso could have won if he pitted. Button could have won if he had a good qualy, Shumi could have won if his team did not fuck his tire up. etc etc etc etc

Indeed, the German one is fine. The Austrian one is incredibly shit. It's almost as bad as our British one.Jucksalbe said:

Try as he might Eddie can't convince Martin that there's anything wrong with his golden boy. Button should be a great example of the virtue of controlled agression.
