Did I hear it right that after that he said, 'Who should go up the podium'? Suggesting that Vettel should take the trophy home.


Btw, Alonso getting treated unfair again, I mean its just ridiculous.

He was asking for a particular member of his team to come up with him to the podium, I didn't catch his name tho. (winner always has a team rep on the podium)

I don't quite see what you mean there. Could you elaborate on this topic a little bit more? I mean, sure, he should have been penalized a couple of laps earlier, but the penalty itself seems quite fair to me.

He was penalised twice. He was told to lift to let Kubica by, which he started doing. Then, the R30 broke. So what do the stewards do? Issue a second penalty.

*Fanboi warning*

Two penalties for one crime. Brilliant. Thank you very much (yes, I'm outraged). This race was again manipulated by the FIA.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

It's just fanboyism, Alonso has not been treated unfairly before (and not really now either).

He started lifting off like.. 5 laps too late? He should do that right after he gained the position, or at least that's what the sporting code says.

But well, I am Kubica's fanboy, so it would be nice to hear an impartial opinion from someone else ;]

Who told Alonso to slow down? When?

Well done to Webber for an excellent drive.. =D> !

New track layout seems to have helped overtaking, so thumbs up.

Both McLarens getting the points without actually doing much on track.

Vettel being praised like a god for just climbing back in the points..

Kobayashi looking handy for Sauber, I hope he keeps scoring points and stays in F1.

If I were Alonso I would have just ignored the drive through and subsequent black flag, try everything to overtake Rosberg for third, walk away after the finish and then hide from the media for 2 weeks! Let Ferrari lawyers sort out the mess and pay the fines, and FIA and the stewards stick it up where the sun don't shine!

He was told to give the place back. He was doing that when Kubica went out. Then they decide to give him another penalty, how is that fair?
Legard, Coulthard and Brundle all said the punishment was too hard.

Hamilton had a racing accident with Vettel. That was black luck for Seb. He did a super recovery from being back almost 90 s. Congrats to Webber for winning the race and the pissing contest with his team principal.

Alonso had a torrid race and Ferrari are looking really in the pits now for the championship.

Maybe start listening to the BBC. Kubica said it also when he was interviewed.

^ McLaren hater warning.
What more would you like them to do? Hamilton pushed Webber with a car over a second slower, Button started 14th and ended 4th (and well we all know he's slow, compared to Hamilton at least).

New track layout did not seem to help overtakes at all. It was the same thing.

Vettel did a pretty good drive, though his car being so fast I expected him to pass people much easier than what he did. He even had to push Sutil eventually.

Your Alonso nonsense is just another example why I consider you a troll.
