Lotus did one of better damage limitations race from qualifications, but they dont understand 7th place in qualy is limit for winning Grand Prix, not 8th or 11th :roll: I am still disapointed with them, because if it wasnt for shitty qualy they could take win in this race with same strategy...

Raikkonen is not a good qualifier, that's my conclusion after the 2012 season. Next race, Grosejan will outqualify him, like he was set to do this time, but the team messed it up.
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.

RedBull gives you wings, Ferrari gives you broken wings.

Anyone want to offer an explanation for the incredible contrast in performance of the Mercedes between qualifying and race?
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

Alonso's wing problem could be related to the strong wing?

Related to the fuel loads? Hamilton's pace was decent through last half.

He had to stop twice to reset his broken DRS, which had stuck open on back to back laps.

Weird how the boards with the flags behind the podium turned twice?!? Glitch in the matrix?
Add Button (to be fair).
Webber for his cut on Rosberg deserves something. Perez definitely not. Although he almost took out RG, it's great to see him frustrating Jenson, he only did what McLaren asked of him :wink: :) . At least it was entertaining and 6th should get vultures (Brundle and co.) off his back

Rosberg really struggled. Pole position was nice but he probably regrets doing that second q3 run. He couldn't pull a gap on Vettel before drs came into play. Vettel had an easy time of it. Lotus bounced back strongly. Hamilton had a brilliant race. Ferrari had errors once again. di Resta finally had a positive result. Nice race.

If Perez' move on Alonso deserves no penalty, nothing does...
