Looks like this is going to have a boring end after being so amazing in the first half of the race.

unless hamilton closes the gap to alonso.

just, with this attitude he lost more points this year
I'd rather him crash out that watch him sleep through the race like today. Old lewis would never have let Shumi pass him on the restart like that. Such poor racing from him today.

Jeez, if this is the attitude around here I probably shouldn't bother to read the thread :-/
Everyone's welcome, it's just the incessant criticism towards certain drivers which disrupts the good natured banter. I can understand poking fun at a driver when he makes a mistake or whines or does something controversial, but to go on and on and on about it, just sours the atmosphere around here.

Geting late hear, I need to be up really early for work tomorrow guys. Have fun. Bloody Webber has just had such a shit year. Button has been looking great, it's just a shame the Vettel/RBR combo is so insanely fast.

It's not elitist, it's that there's always maybe 10 or so posters each race weekend that make an appearance, spout out overly heated comments then are never seen during the time between. Not all blow-ins, just the vocal majority. The regulars tend to be a little more level-headed :)

Agreed on all counts. Sucks, but at least he isn't in a Jaguar ;)

Need a fucking Vettel DNF or two. Dullest championship battle ever :(

It's an utterly compelling, massively competitive championship provided you ignore the guy in #1. The fight for second is superb.

We'll see you in March 2012?

LOL how about vettel doing another fastest lap of the race, he's not even chasing anyone. Bit man lewis is fast, he is closing the gap fast but i dont think he can take it with all that traffic in front of him.

Oh, definitely. Just a shame that one of the guys in that fight hasn't had a single victory this year.

He has been one of the most consistent guys out there though behind Vettel.

Vettel loves getting fastest lap, no matter how big a margin he has. And you can only get it right near the end.

Man that was close, one more lap and lewis would have had him. And man that stat is amazing, first time a red bull hasnt been in the points since korea.

Ferrari is such shitty car on harder tyres that is not even funny. Alonso should buy Schumacher a dinner.
 
Well I'm not following this thread during a race again. What a bunch of bitchers and whiners. Jesus Christ.

Great race. Almost every single lap had a great battle to watch. Buttom/Hamilton/Schumacher was by far the highlight, although I fucking loved Vettel's move on Alonso. Brilliance.

A real shame Hamilton didn't have one more lap to try and take Alonso.

<3 Monza.

Congrats to Vettel, really impressive and amazing overtaking at the beginning.
Great drive by Schumi and Button too.
Shame about Webber. :(
Should do pretty well on F1 Race Manager except for Webber's DNF.

Amazing perfect race from Red bull. From their decision with the gear box, to their amazingly fast pit stop at 2.9.

I mean whats been the fastest pit stop this year?

Wes said:
Indicative of just how dull this season has been.

Can we please stop it with this stupid posts please. In now way was this season dull. Sure the battle for 1st is not exciting but the races have been so fucking exciting its been unbelievable.
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
Well, Vettel, what can I say, another win, another exemplary performance.

Button 2nd, a great race by Jenson. That pass on Hamilton and Schumacher was crucial.

Alonso 3rd, really didn't do anything other than keep his car on the track.

Hamilton 4th, stuck behind Schumacher for so long, but as Button proven, it was really his own fault.

5th for Schumacher, a great race and while he was racy with Hamilton, it was great to see.

6th for Massa. Unfortunately he was knocked out of potentially more by Webber but drove ok.

A good race overall. Yes Vettel ran away with it but some good action. We may as well say farewell to the WC fight this year, but the battle for 2nd will be very interesting indeed.
