of course not, but HAM on tires 20 laps fresher than everyone ahead is on while ALO-WEB-MAS are left out, what's exactly the greatness HAM is doing to prevent us from watching the main fight.

It's hardly a fight. Webber will only get past Alonso if he makes a mistake.
What fight? Webber never even was in a situation where he could overtake while watching Hamilton we were actually able to watch some racing.

Bugger Webber didn't get that second, but preferred that Alonso gets those few extra points.
Good going Ricciardo on getting another points finish. Wonder if he'll let loose and grow a pair over the rest of the season... always feels like he's holding himself back and giving in to caution.

Yeah, what did the Ferraris qualify at?Grosjean:
Congrats Vettel, good race by Alonso and Webber and Massa. If they hadn't fucked up the quali Ferrari could have won.

Blow them a big kiss when they boo the shit out of you. Lol
Also I think that puts Vettel equal on wins with Alonso.

Ferrari are the biggest idiots in f1 period.
The gap between alonso and vettel before the pits was 5 something. After the stupid strategy it was 10 something.
The gap is now 5 something. If he just pitted the same time as vettel he would have been right at the back of vettel and fighting for the win.
Cant wait for singapore for vettel to pass alonso in total wins by a few years.

Because there was no main fight? The race been over for ages. Might as well show where the overtaking is taking place.

Mate nothing happened in the fight over 2nd. It wasn't even a fight. Why show it?

Sure, the car with the less problems today was the crippled car.
If the Vettel problems are real and not the usual lies from RBR so Vettel manages the car instead of going after fastest lap, then the 5 seconds they lost with the stupid tactic would probably mean they could force the issue in the end.
So Webber car didn't had any problems? Or you didn't even read the post properly and only raged like usual?

Vettel win, fucking yawn. I am so fucking sick of seeing this same shit every weekend. If the new engines next year dont change things up I am done watching F1. This is the first year I have actually not cared about missing some races and my interest has been quickly declinng. I am at a point i would actually think control chasis and bodies might be a good idea.
yeah thats what i posted earlier. i hope ferrari realize this during their after race briefing.
alonso lost the win by his stupid decision to stay out.
damn. some serious shit going in behind scenes, because race wise this wasn't even that bad.

Ha, first time I've seen Vettel fail to hit the number board. He looked disappointed.

Both had gearbox problems and Vettel had also the thing about the possible "puncture". It's just that Vettel's problems don't create 20 posts of "Red Bull sabotages Webber" here.
Yeah, it doesn't bode well.
don't be delusional, same words have been spoken between De La Rosa and Gene, they said VET was in control all the time, he could have ended 20+ seconds ahead if he wanted, there was no strategy capable of beating RBR other than taking out the sniper rifle and puncture his car.
Great win for Seb. I might be one of the few who's not completely bored with him winning. The kid drives flat out from start to finish. His team has to talk him down each and every race. What's not to love about that? Yeah, he's keeping my favorite driver from winning championships, but that's how it is sometimes. Another great performance from him.
No comment on the Ferrari muckup. I didn't really follow their race closely anyway.
The driver of the race, for me, is my favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton. Destroyed the floor of his car, got impeded on his qualifying lap, and then suffered a puncture today. Despite all that, he salvaged 2 of the hardest-earned points of his career. And he did it in entertaining fashion. Kimi and Lewis brought the whole show today. Well done to them. Too bad for Kimi at the end with his KERS issues. He deserved points.
I think the Merc could have podiumed. I don't know if there was any way to beat Seb, because that Red Bull had pace in reserve. On to Singapore. Hopefully that's not a snoozer. PEACE.

They should boo alonso for deciding to stay out. Lost himself 5 seconds and lost the chance to fight at the end when vettel had the problem with his gearbox.

You're kidding right?
Most of them already are working only on -14 car, Ferrari will join them and RBR probably right after Singapore
