Big congratulations to Hamilton. He drove a great race and nice overtake on Vettel.

At least Alonso only lost 3 points to Vettel. Still needs something strange to happen in Interlagos, but you never know. Vettel needs only 5 place i believe, but then Hamilton went to Interlagos twice needing only 5th place and he didn't have an easy time of it.

You're right, that's why Button easily took second place... Wait.
wait, his accel. pedal was out of order in quali
You're trying to use qualy as evidence that the McLaren is a superior car to the RedBull? Did I miss understand you? If I didn't, you're truly mad!

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Also nice gesture from vettel to hamilton after crossing the finnish line. No words from haters about that one huh?
Yes we don't know if he was clapping honestly or clapping to sarcasm just telling him, Bravo! stupid.

You're right, the McLaren beat the RBR in S1... Which nearly accounted for the RBR demolishing the McLaren in S3.

Seriously, I can't see how you can argue with the two RBR drivers averaging similar lap times, and the two McLaren drivers having very different lap times, the average of which was slower than the RBR.

The only conclusion I can draw from that is that the McLaren was the slower car, but HAM made the difference to win the race.

Well Vettel has to finish the race. That can bring its own pressure if things aren't going perfectly. If there's rain then it could be anybodies race.
