Lewis Hamilton has won the inaugural United States GP at Austin after passing Sebastian Vettel at two thirds of the race distance. The German finished second while Fernando Alonso is third at more than 40 seconds of the leading duo, keeping his championship hopes alive.
not really, would of happened any way i would imagineIntego wrote:Great race, congrats to Lewis, and the WDC decision comes down to Brazil. =D>
So, guys, Seb's complaint apparently was because of Narain blocking him, not Lewis' pass. Some around here should feel bad now ... :-"
I'll check that, hopefully VET will get interviewed about that. Nevertheless all this hating is annoying.JimClarkFan wrote:You sure about that.Intego wrote:Great race, congrats to Lewis, and the WDC decision comes down to Brazil. =D>

The official line now is that it was about Nairain, but he was complaining about Lewis being too close on the radio with his stupid pass.

1. ALO Wins. VET no higher than 5th.
2. ALO second. VET no higher than 9th.
Otherwise VET wins the WDC.
I know he posted purple multiple times during his second stint when he got out of pits, and not so much towards the end of the race. Every single detail i really do not remember.beelsebob wrote:So what you're saying is that BUT on 20 laps younger, softer tyres was slower than HAM? Just to be clear on that.
Ah, "I don't remember", the classic excuse of people who know history is not in their favour.Juzh wrote:I know he posted purple multiple times during his second stint when he got out of pits, and not so much towards the end of the race.

Kartekeyan's incident in Abu Dhabi with Rosberg brought out the safety car that helped Vettel gain places. It's all swings and roundabouts.Juzh wrote:So in the end it was kartekeyan yet again that costs red bull points. More obivous blocking is hard to get.
What places? he pitted during safety car and came out last again. He didnt gain a single place.myurr wrote:Kartekeyan's incident in Abu Dhabi with Rosberg brought out the safety car that helped Vettel gain places.

That comment smacks of bigotry!NathanOlder wrote:Id love to see Vettel spin out while leading in Brazil, and Webber win. Kimi 2nd, Lewis 3rd. But Lewis lets Alonso past on the last lap. Who else would love to see that ???? [-o< [-o<
The way anyone can suggest Vettel doesn't deserve it is simple. It's the World Drivers Championship. Both Alonso and Hamilton have clearly driven better this year. Vettel has merely been in the quickest, most reliable car.zeph wrote:Well, Vettel won more races than anybody else this year, so even though I'm rooting for Alonso and praying for a miracle, I don't see how anybody can suggest that Vettel doesn't deserve it. For the most part he has been great this year.
It's just that Alonso has transcended mere 'great' and gone to 'insanely great' this year, so for me he is the moral victor, even if he doesn't bag it in Brazil.
