Vettel is impressive. 4.1 second gap after 2 lap. Wow.

Germany, Hungary, SPA have been thefts more then having the quickest car. The poles were stolen under his nose.
Since Germany it´s safe to say the Red Bull and Merc are equal in low fuel running.
Perhaps now we are starting to see Red Bull even edging away.
Theft??? Right :)

These are the quali times from Hungary, Mercedes was faster all along:
Q1:
Rosberg 1:20.350
Hamilton 1:20.363
Vettel 1:20.646
Webber 1:21.264

Q2:
Rosberg 1:19.778
Hamilton 1:19.862
Vettel 1:19.992
Webber 1:20.503

Q3:
Hamilton 1:19.388
Vettel 1:19.426
Rosberg 1:19.720
Webber No Time

And in SPA wet geared Lewis only edged Vettel by 0.188sec but the setup cost them dearly in the race...

I can't think of any more boring.
I actually turned off the grand prix today after 5 or 6 laps... I checked back there... it's lap 25 and it is still exactly the same up front.

This is the first race since 2009 that I am deliberately not watching.

I don't get it, did Alonso just lose two positions for a set of tires? Webber and Hamilton do not have cede those positions?

I don't think you guys understand how fast the Red Bull is.

Lotus is a joke, they might as well run with one car only. Probably saving money :o .

Meanwhile the owner again proves that he's delusional by acting surprised that it was all about the money with Raikkonen and that you can whine about it publicly. What did he expect from his creation? Spoilt driver with all the advantages one can have handed to to him by said owner, without results and no responsibility when it comes to anything. 1,5 season where main focus of the team was to avoid their chosen driver finishing behind the rookie.
