Damn, one more lap and he would have done it. Great race in any case for Mark

See how fun F1 is without Vettel? ;P

Not bad for Hammy considering the whole tire issue. SCs helped for sure. Nice to see a bunch of passing in the final laps though, just wish the race could have occurred without all the tire bullshit.

spectacular race from both Ferraris, another Alonso miracle, Merc was obviously faster than anyone, that 1000 Km test, Lewis almost got away even with a tyre failure that tells you how much quicker Merc is at the moment than the rest of the field, RBR level.
 
I wonder if anything will happen about all those tyre failures.

Looks like Alonso's luck (especially being just missed by that tyre) has helped him significantly in the driver's championship.
 
It's his own fault really, why on earth did he stop his car on the main straight? His onboard clearly showed that his troubles began much earlier.
Miles off the racing line though. Very odd decision to have a safety car to move that (you never see cars over there).

One more lap and Hamilton would have passed Alonso

last Safety Car screwed Alonso and benefited Hamilton, Alonso made up 5 places though, Ferrari is still light years away from Merc and RBR pace, if not for the failures all around Merc would have won easily followed by RBR and Ferrari a long shot far away.

I'm just glad with four exploding left-rears there was no serious accident during the race. Pirelli really has to take a serious look at this before someone actually gets hurt.

For those of you saying Webber doesn't have the skills and determination, after dropping back to P14 and requiring a new wing, brought it to second. Incredible.

The fact though that he can't do starts though after all this time is laughable. Was a great race from him bar that.

Webber frisbees the hat to Nico, "Just missed that DRS two laps before". Glad they're still good mates.

Sounds like Webber didn't have any probs with his tyres. Talking about Grosjean. See, this is respect between drivers, having such a great chat after a race.

That guy. Fucking love that guy <3

True. I'd love to see an on-board, see if it was anti-stall or something maybe.

OH LOOK NICO'S GIRLFRIEND AGAIN. SURPRISE.

Oh, that same fucking national anthem! ARGH.

That had somewhat more to do with some teams pitting and others not under the safety car. Without that there would have been far less action at the end.

True, i think that Alonso and Hamilton would not passed Kimi, if he went into the pits.
