Agreed. It is a joke!

I don't see anything wrong with Schumachers style. It's the way it used to be done but, as with many other things, F1 has been neutured.

They improved the show but they killed the racing for good. Bit of a farce really. Saying that as a Red Bull and Ferrari fan btw.

I don't agree with you, but hey, everyone has a right to his own opinion...

good race btw... still puzzled by ferrari's pace tough...

and here Vettel goes with his "That's what I'm talking about!" ... give it a break kid... -.-

Kobayashi neatly demonstrates how the Webber strategy leaves you roughly in your normal position, even after starting near/at the back.

I am more than happy with another Vettel win but this, to me, is not F1. Too many passes under DRS where the car behind has an unfair advantage. Sadly I am now starting to loose interest in F1. :(

Certainly the DRS zone was too long here – it was letting people pass on the straight, not in the following corner.

Schumi was driving without his brain this time. Same with Petrov. Probably the worst overtakers/defenders i´ve ever seen in a F1 race..

Awsome race, the key is to stay on Vettel´s gearbox if you want to challenge him for the win, otherwise he will just run away with it.

Alonso, man you showed us why you are the best driver in F1 at the moment. To get a podium with that car and match the RBR´s for most of the time during the race is just wonderful.
The truth will come out...

I wonder how much higher Hamilton could have finished had he not been stuck behind Button, looks like he was able to match Webber and Alonso.

Great drive by Vettel, this kid is on another planet!

Let's agree to disagree. :D

Ferraris pace was strange but I think a lot of it is the tyres.

Vettel's just happy. They all whoop and make meaningless statements. I recall another driver always banging on about what they are talking about. :lol:

Really? Taking his wing off at the start was certainly not brainy.

I don't think that had anything to do with Alonso really – he outperformed Massa certainly, but the Ferrari is clearly a much improved car.

I think you are right. I was against DRS when it was announced but decided to give it a chance to win me over. So far I am still not liking it.

I think the ferraris like it hot, it was not too hot today... we will see them win when temp is above 27 c.

DRS is not needed with those tyres!!!!
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

great drive by Alonso, I wonder if he was in fuel management mode when he got past Webber.
