Well done Webber for that spirited defence of the podium. Vettel and Red Bull deserve that victory. Alonso drove brilliantly to another great damage limitation.

Yeah, I don't much like Vettel/RBR but man, they just get it right everytime.

Alonso is gonna need a miracle.

Ferrari need to sort the quali pace. In the race, the car is a beast.

Still A better GP than Last Year xD
Unbelievable Fact: Whenever Red bull gets back to the top each race becomes Boring .. :lol:

Best Driver Alonso
Best Team: Red Bull
Best Moment of the race : Hamilton's pit stop with both steering wheel and tyres changed within 3s
Worst Team: Mercedes..Poor Lewis

Really Not looking forward to Abu Dhabi , as Kimi Said " the first sector is ok the rest is ****" But I can predict a Red Bull domination again with Fernando and Lewis not Far away.
Oh and Yes , Red Bull will have the title there. (WCC)

Its just that when Red Bull lead everything becomes predictable.Its not just when Red Bull win,I believe most races are boring.I watch it more for the technical side.
In addition I believe that a race doesn't have to be interesting to be enjoyable,I enjoyed watching this race even if it was boring.

Open between Alonso and Vettel. The others are just about out of it. 67 points away for Kimi in 3 races? Not happening.

The race wasn't bad IMO. I never subscribed to a race having to have a lead battle to be exciting. Midfield battles are great too.

Another great drive from L'Incroyable Hulk. I was quite surprised. The McLarens were nowhere to be honest. Perez - I predicted a while back he would struggle to score points after his McLaren announcement, and he is delivering.

Not much fun this race, IMO.

It was fun seeing Alonso schooling the McLarens in the opening laps, but I don't remember seeing much else.

Alonso .............

Let's put it this way, at one point in the race, Brundle turned to croft and said

I wanted to see Grosjean vs Hulkenberg part two actually. 23 laps of Hulkenberg on primes holding off Grosjean on primes.

How in the name of fajitas did the Ferrari have more pace than the McLaren though?

Kudos to Alonso on lap 1 for reproducing Hakkinen's move on Zonta and Schumacher.

Let's be glad he is not. It would be worse than 2000-2004.

By the way, why was Mark pushing Seb to the podium parking in parc ferme? Or was it just very close but not not touching?
