Boring DRS pass, robbed us as a great battle between Alonso and Button in the braking zone and possibly over some more laps

All the thrill of the chase but then just press the magic button. Another DRS pass which is a total anti-climax (cue DD with a joke here).

According to the driver tracker (and Coulthard), D'ambrosio has disappeared in the Virgin.

I actually hope Mark wins this (which I think he will with 2 to go). He deserved a win this year imo.

Well done Mark.

How'd you work that one out? You're not one of the conspiracy theorists from Twitter are you?

Nice one for Mark, of all the ones left in the race Mark was my 1st choice.

Let me derive some sad pleasure by listing out the victories for the Top 6 in 2011:

Vettel:11
Button: 3
Hamilton: 3
Webber: 1
Alonso: 1
Massa:

Well done Mark. That gives Massa the wooden spoon as the only one of the top six who has'nt won in 2011.

no but I would expect that more than 40 laps with a gearbox problem would end like hamilton race.

[andrew]

Depends on the problem.

Bacon flavour?

Boring race.As has been said DRS robbes us of the only decent battle all day
Just to complete a bad GP terrible call for the Senna penalty.

Maybe it was the same problem, but the difference was Vettel's engineer going "Shortshift on 2nd and 3rd, save the car!!" while Hamiltons is like "You got gearbox issue but you cant help it we're doomed, just keep driving".

Just taking the piss a little. But I haven't heard any instance in the whole of 2011 where Hamilton's engineer was actually 'useful'.

Well it wasn't a classic, but it's fantastic to see Mark Webber get the win. At least he ended the season on a high. Big congrats to Jenson too... once again, another great performance.
