Hamilton won the race because he had the faster car. He made a couple of mistakes which Vettel did not. Vettel simply lost position because he had misfortune in traffic. Nice for Hamilton but not a giant killing drive by him.

lol, mclaren was certainly the fastest car, it was just hamiltons poor driving that cost him the pole. It would have been quite bad for hamilton if he wouldnt win.

Oh your so funny.

You're right, that's why Button easily took second place... Wait.

Can't agree more tbh.

I had really low expectations tbh, which probably helped.

There was action all over the place.

And there's Rick Perry. Good thing he doesn't have to hand out all three driver's trophies, or else he would have forgotten the third.

I'm still waiting for a hint of mainstream coverage of this race.

You can twist truths however like you like. mclaren was predominantly fast in first sector when it mattered to get drs. Backmarkers were also a deciding factor. No fanboyism, just facts. Also nice gesture from vettel to hamilton after crossing the finnish line. No words from haters about that one huh?

great race!! Hamilton :wtf: .... but Vettel is the "new" world champion. Alonso to win championship need to beat Sebastian but without any failure he can't do that. Red Bull car is so $#(%# FAST!

Good Job Lewis!! thx Mercedes for another great race =D>

Really ? Fastest car was Red Bull all weekend over 1 lap, So Lewis just drove a better race. The Red Bulls were on average alot quicker than the Mclaren.

As my Uncle has always said, Today the great driver in an average car, beat the average driver in a great car :lol:

On another note, no 6 shooters on the podium ? They do in Nascar in texas
