I didn't say it's perfect or ideal, but fact is, it's understandable.

I'm with you. I don't like Vettel much, but these little outbursts are no big deal. Like Alonso shaking his fist at Petrof, things are intense and you vent your frustration.
It grates a bit when he cries on the radio that Lewis got too close, when the actual crime commited, was that Vettel made two moves while defending which got him so close in the first place.

Absolutely. He's a crybaby and always has been. Hamilton's move was textbook and Vettel's defense was not. But his outburst is no big deal. I found his antics at Abu Dhabi worse.

This is still a very reasonable result for us Ferrari supporters. Now we need one more round of magic in Sao Paulo...

Forecast at the moment is for a wet race which would play into Alonso's hands. But yeah, at least it's going down to the wire.

Stunning drive from HAM.

That all said... WELL DONE THE USA. That was one of the best races I've watched in a *long* time.

Sooo happy for Hamilton! A well deserved win!

And putting Vettel in his place with the whole world watching must be the icing on the cake for him!

Well deserved after all that bad luck.

The best race of the season for me since Valencia. God it feels good when Vettel is not the one who wins it from pole

My driver of the day is a battle between both Massa and Hamilton.
Both were fantastic! Reminds me of how great they were in 2008.

Just like to say... This is why I'm a HAM fan. Didn't have the best car, but still took the race.

I think this track was the biggest success. Lots of racing, no boring sectors, and completed in a pretty tight time crunch.

Major congrats to Lewis. He's been screwed more times than a man should be this season, and he's right that they deserved that win. SO glad to see him get the success he's deserved. =D>
