no i said, for 4 races continous schumy has never been out of points since his 1991 debut
last time it was when he had 3 dnfs in 2000
and then early this year with 3, now it is 5th race in a row without any points

Not so much. He was a Republican candidate in the presidential primaries and goofed in one of the debates:

Fact?

I wonder how this is a fact? When Webber drove about 15 laps in the race and Button wasn't even clean air in that period....

Awesome, a big F1 meet up in the north of scotland some time would be made of awesome and win. I know a few others of us are up here too. So hopefully we can invade a pub in one of Inverness, Elgin or Aberdeen, and all watch a race together :D

I don't understand why Mark has such bad luck?

Makes me thinks there is a Ferrari mole in RBR wrecking the cars....

Avarage pace of mclaren was slower because ham was stuck behind vettel for half the race. thats it. If he got passed sooner it would be much clearer the mclaren had better pace.

Rb had to run the new alternators. And according to the Swiss TV Webber has reacted aggressive when he was questioned if this is a problem BEFORE THE WEEKEND

Massa did a great job today, I hope he gave a smack on the face to a certain person at Ferrari with his drive today. Good double poits finish for Lotus and Williams.
I don't understand why Vettel cried after Lewis overtook him. It seemd to me like he actually had a pretty strange reaction steering towards Lewis after he already made a move on the inside to defend. Sebastian needs to sort out his head in that matter, it is not the first time he has a stupid reaction on the radio and he is embarassing himself.

Mercedes were simply embarassing to watch today. Michael +1 lap, what the f**k...

Yes, clearly "stuck" given that he didn't extend any gap during the last 10 laps ;)

Button was also in trafic for half the race and on different tyres at different times. The overall lap times are uncomparable.

You mean, Button, even when on the better tyres couldn't match Hamilton towards the end of the race, so clearly Hamilton was making a big difference to how the McLaren worked?

Edit: Better, younger tyres.
