If penalties are handed down kinda glad Lewis didnt get the win, I dont like the feeling of having a win taken away due to penalties. Spa was bad enough thanks!

I watched Indy qualifying yesterday, and I actually fell asleep.

You are soooo wrong...

If you can provide a substantial argument to suggest otherwise then we can discuss it, happily.


Cant just say im wrong and leave it at that. Thats not how it works.

The fact im willing to debate it AND with fact displays i can be reasonable, so what ya got?

Dude, he drove without KERS functioning normally for the most part of the race, he pulled a magnificent third stint to match Hamilton's strategy, making that tyres last! He defended his leading position for 15 laps or so, without fully operational KERS and without DRS, that Hamilton was able to use. After his first stop he passed Button, Massa and Rosberg, on his out lap, quite a drive!!!

Getting a bit tired now.

The racing is great, but I want a good championship battle, too.

With red bull having a clear advantage w/ pace, I'm doubtful that we'll see a close championship battle....It's like the rest of the field are just fighting for 2nd...

Feel sorry for Alonso,


Vettel is the luckiest driver in the history of F1 undisputed.

Admit that you hate him!

I like him as a person more then my own driver,

But he is.....

- First time hes not on pole, poleman gets poor start.
- First time all year the DRS zone is useless, who benefited the most from that?
- Has the most useless teammate in F1
- Has the best car in the past 10 years of F1
- Won a WDC on the back of poor circuit design.
- Team are the best strategy wise
- Team are best pit stop wise

Im just saying, enjoy it whilst it lasts.

thats crap, Vettel is not lucky. And calling Webber useless just proves your argument wrong.

Hamilton

Hamilton"I understand that a few of us are under investigation. The racing was incredible today. We all abide by the rules, and we slow down for the yellow flags, but you have to do that without losing any time."

Yeah, I know what he actually meant, he does drop these clangers from time to time.

DRS didn't do it's job. Lewis got stuck behind Vettel, encountering the problem DRS was designed to eliminate. Good race, Vettel did fantastic, Webber did average as always. Mclaren had a great day too.
Only the Mclarens and RBs didn't get lapped which says a lot. Ferrari have a long way to go although Alonso did brilliantly in the first stint. Bring on Monaco

Most important and impressive move was when Vettel was released into traffic and made mince meat of it but Hamilton would have won if DRS had been in an effective zone (imo).

I dont think in terms of race pace you can say RedBull are dominant. The only place Seb was pulling away from Lewis was where it mattered, on the straight. Any other track he would have been gobbled up around 10 laps before the end.

Feel really bad for Alonso, his race could have gone really well only if he had the same tyre situation as the RBs and Mclarens.

Great race, first exciting Barcelona GP I have seen in ages. My heart was thumping in the last few laps with the prospect of Hamilton overtaking Vettel. It has to be said though that the marbles off line going into the first corner may have put him off sending one up the inside. Will not be happy if a big penalty is handed out and promotes Alonso, as that will look suspicious considering when he has been penalised recently he kept his result.

Wont happen, he was a lap down.

The reason DRS wasn't effective againts the Red Bull was because they could put the throttle down much quicker out of turn 16 than any other car, so the DRS was only serving Lewis simply to be able to hang on. Had he gotten past, I'm sure he would have pulled out a gap, but it doesn't matter. Vettel won today because he was able to execute on a strategy and he was effectively able to defend, utilizing the best overall car on the grid, KERS or not.

Even the start doesn't really matter much with the rapid degradation of the options. It's ALL about tire management.

[racechick]

Phew no penalties for the McLarens.

Was more impressed with Vettel today. He took Button and Massa when he came out of the pits.

[texasmr2]

That was a good race but man I was hoping Lewis could have overtaken Vettel for the win. Good too see some progress from the new teams aswell. Monaco should be interesting.
