Good

We'll see if Mclaren are closer in Malaysia

I'd like them to be, but my guess is further back. They were closer to Brawn in Jerez, which is less aero-dependent (much like Melbourne), but they were further away in Catalunya. Hopefully they can do something to the car between now and then to make it a little more competitive.

Well theyve no time to bring on any modifications have they. Its fly straight there. They're targeting Spain to get back on terms.So in the meantime Lewis has to do what he just did, damage limitation.

Everyone needs luck as well as ability. Where others were reckless Lewis was not. The fact he has picked up 6 points due to the other's driving like numptie's is not L.H's fault. The minority on here who follow their driver/team (and no other) need to be a bit more objective. Whilst I do not hide my support for the McLaren team, I also admire the other top class drivers including Mr Massa and co.

Agreed, hopefully Heikki makes it for more than a lap this time too.


You are right though, Brawn may waltz off next weekend!

What a sensational race we had today!!!!!!!!!!! The top of the field (Button, Vettel, Rosberg,Barichello, Kubica, Trulli etc) were at points in the race matching each others pace with each passing lap, then one would slow, pit, change tyres, crash ...............it was very very exciting. (and Lewis came up from 18th to 3rd). Overall a great watch and how F1 should be.

Long gone are the days of Shue taking all the glory and F1 being boring.;


Go Button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wit untill Malaysia!

Great race. Again as seen in Q the diffuser is everything, and KERS means very little. Maybe once they develop lighter batteries it will be ok. Also the SC was confusing... Or was i too sleepy and couldnt understand it ? (Race was at 2am, and i had spent all day on the PGA champions tour at capcana)

Vettel and Kubica were fantastic, too bad for that silly shunt. Lewis drove a great race as so did Nico.

Looks like following a car is now a real possibility, so job well done by the overtaking group. The race was quite exciting.

^^^^^ KERS made Hamilton's race in the first stint...

Exactly, especially its capabilities at the start. More will come i'm sure.

What A RACE ......jenson without a doubt drove awesomely kept his kool and looked after his tyres well done mate ! drivers on the day ........jenson , hamilton and rosberg ....but what was rubens doing (ego trip / power mission lol) ....if u look heikki doesnt touch him :S

cant wait for next week

Waheyyy someone agrees with the Vanilla Bear

I think there should be more DQ? because it was touching them? Kovvy got banged out the race? so why didn't Rubbens? Unfair in my little white book. Get Rubbens his chair and let him sit ini'it! Bring on Bruno or Davidson!

Not quite. Rubens still managed good pace despite having a damaged diffuser.

But thru sheer dumb A$$ he ruined a few people's rce. Lets hope next race Karma works in our favours. I don't think the Aussies will be to impressed huh?

Yeah, sure. He made Kovalainen run in to the back of him at the first corner.

As for tagging Raikkonen, his car became unstable under braking. And he still managed to keep it to a minimum. I've already told you once, it was just a smaller-scale version of when Raikkonen hit Sutil at Monaco last year. Stop being so silly

Who did, Barrichello? I thought he was punted by Kovalainen?

Edit - i see he was indeed given a push!
