Drive of the fucking day, Mark Webber!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

[legend166]

Webber. Amazing.

 

[Dead Man]

Drive of the fucking day, Mark Webber!

Absolutely. Great drive by Hamilton, but Webber has been immense.

 

[Igo]

Such incredible performances from Lewis and Webber today. Brilliant race.

 

[kharma45]

Another lap I'd say Schumi would've had Alonso.

 

[Caramello]

Webber you star!

 

[Shaneus]

Webber :trollface:

 

[Salacious Crumb]

Fucking hell, what a race, first one for awhile that has gotten me out of my seat.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

:bow Pirelli :bow

 

[jey_16]

Webber.....driver of the day. Great win by Hamilton and I think Seb will be ok with second, they have to get there KERS working

 

[Igo]

Anyone know what the problems were Lewis had before the race?

 

[Lach]

Great race. Coulthart said it right with "Thank you Pirelli".
Congrats to Webber!

And thank you Massa. You got me some points!

 

[twofold]

This race was fantastic from start to finish. Amazing drives from Hamilton and Webber. I love the commentary duo of Brundel and Coulthard, too. Way better than last year.

 

[Dead Man]

Webber :trollface:

:lol

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Awesome fucking race. Don't think I have seen that much overtaking in a dry race in the 15 years I have been watching F1.

Great recovery by Webber and well done by Hamilton.

 

[AcridMeat]

Webber just gave us all the most satisfying session of Australian loving we've ever experienced.

and ever will experience.

 

[Ghost]

Bet Button is relieved he doesn't have to go to the podium driver conference after that pitstop mistake.

 

[Mobius 1]

Hammy

 

[isamu]

WHEN IS THE NEXT RACE????????? SERIOUSLY I'M HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MORE....NAO!!!!!!!

 

[Juicy Bob]

China 2011 > Japan 2005

 

[olore]

Hahahah Lewis celebrating with the McLaren crew. All he needed was perhaps a bit of reigning in? Taking care of his tires? not gunning it for every opportunity? The sign of a more mature, seasoned racer?

Fantastic racing. Open, alive, unpredictable

 

[justin.au]

Fantastic race.

Amazing drive by Webber. Amazing fuck-up by Button. Well done Lewis, make a season of it.

 

[modulaire]

Also, I will not be able to watch the race tomorrow, because I will be participating in a classic car rally with a not-so-classic Porsche. And if last year is something to go by (although I don't think anyone remembers) any race I do not watch will end up with Hamilton winning. Last year it resulted in a back-to-back McLaren 1-2.

In short: Hamilton will wipe the floor with Vettel tomorrow.

I followed your advice and placed a bet!

Thanks very much!!!!

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

Thanks to Webber, Hamilton and Pirelli for an awesome race.

If only we had refueling back...

 

[Sage00]

And people were saying this year was boring and predictable racing, ha!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

pirelli and drs/kers :O~

And people were saying this year was boring and predictable racing, ha!

did anyone say this?

 

[navanman]

2 stop race caught out Ferrari, Vettel & Renault.

The 3 stop strategy gave those runners so much extra pace when they needed it most.

 

[Dead Man]

Just an awesome race. Best dry race in a decade I think.

lack of Kers didn't help Vettel for defending either

Button is my man of the race for his wrong pitting

 

[Mush]

3 weeks.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Going to be an awesome season. Ferrari will get there shit together too. Going to a nice 3 way fight with Mclaren, Red Bull and Ferrari sprinkled with great performances by Renault and Mercedes.

 

[AcridMeat]

Dat trophpagne.

 

[Timbuktu]

More than that he wasn't aggressive enough, obviously didn't see Webber coming, but should ha e passed massa and rosberg a lot quicker.

 

[Adamm]

Wow amazing race, a few more laps & Webber would have won!

 

[scarybore]

I love these tyres! The minute Rosberg showed such excellent pace after his first stop, everyone near the front should have been on 3 stops. Ferrari completely fucked that up as did Red Bull with Vettel, but at least he has the excuse of a dodgy radio that stopped him from forcing a change.

Button also completely fucked up with his first stop, staying ahead of Vettel could have made all the difference to his race but he handed back his position on a plate.

Webber is my driver of the day, finally got his act together and showed how fast that car is with new tyres. Great performance in a great race.

Also, fuck Perez for completely messing up my fantasy league results by slamming into Sutil. I'll be dropping like a stone when the site updates.

 

[isamu]

Unbelievably awesome race guys. Seriously I am now an official F1 fan. What a first race to get my foot wet in.

Can anyone tell me if there will be a race next weekend?

 

[olore]

The Pirellis going off so abruptly does indeed spice up the racing. One can ponder if DRS is really needed in hindsight

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Just an awesome race. Best dry race in a decade I think.

best race in f1 since spa 98

 

[Lach]

god I missed Buttons Pit Stop during the race. Just saw the replay. Hillarious stuff!

 

[Timbuktu]

Bet Button is relieved he doesn't have to go to the podium driver conference after that pitstop mistake.

But here comes Lee...

 

[isamu]

3 weeks.

Thanks man. 3 weeks is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Damn! What do they expect me to do while waiting THREE FRIGGIN WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Shaneus]

WHEN IS THE NEXT RACE????????? SERIOUSLY I'M HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MORE....NAO!!!!!!!

Could not have picked a better race to watch. I doubt you'll see better.

two weeks for turkey edit: oh wait. it's three weeks. dur. damn, I am depressed as well now. huahua

 

[Jinjo]

Now what did I tell you guys? :lol

I followed your advice and placed a bet!

Thanks very much!!!!

Haha, awesome! How much did you win?

I have to admit I did watch the race, because my co-driver had to back out of the rally last minute, because of a personal situation, but I guess as long as I'm convinced I'm not going to be watching the race it's okay. :lol Anyway, the "curse" (atleast it is for me, since I'm always rooting for Hamilton) still holds, only this time I've been able to enjoy a bit of it too. Awesome, awesome race.

I'll be sure to warn you again when I can't watch the race.

 

[Sloane]

god I missed Buttons Pit Stop during the race. Just saw the replay. Hillarious stuff!

Yeah, how the hell did he screw that up? Might have won the race if that had not happened. :/

 

[Deadman]

£25, cheers lewis.


New super strategy: save all 3 soft tyres, qualify as good as you can on hards? If webber had been say 12th he would have won.

 

[Mobius 1]

It has to be said - BBC's coverage of F1 is flawless. you Brits should be proud.

the bet was just €20 (I don't have THAT much confidence in your curse) - 20 x 6,75.

 

[Dead Man]

best race in f1 since spa 98

Yeah, possibly.

Webber is rapt.
