2012 US GP - Circuit of the Americas

[LionKing]

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

There wasn't even another RBR for long to average anything anyway...

[strad]

Great race, and it seems to have come off without any real problems.
Great podium and I love that the WDC is still up in the air.

[Redragon]

To make justice to this worldchampionship.

Massa wins in Brazil, Alonso second and Vettel have a failure. That would be a nice scenario.
But I hope the result comes in a fair way.

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...

What did he say? I missed that.....

[Intego]

Great race, congrats to Lewis, and the WDC decision comes down to Brazil. =D>

So, guys, Seb's complaint apparently was because of Narain blocking him, not Lewis' pass. Some around here should feel bad now ... :-"

[beelsebob]

So... Combos for Brazil in which Alonso can win are:

1. ALO Wins. VET no higher than 5th.
2. ALO second. VET no higher than 9th.

Otherwise VET wins the WDC.

You sure about that.

The official line now is that it was about Nairain, but he was complaining about Lewis being too close on the radio with his stupid pass.

That is very unlikely to happen.

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.

When button had new soft boots he was much faster than hamilton and vettel on their somewhat used hards. Then he gradually fell away. Button and webber are not proper representaion of the speed of their cars anyway.

Agreed, I'd go so far as to say the only way ALO realistically can win is with a VET alternator failure.

Bullocks. That was definitely about Hamilton. He said: "That was a stupid overtake, really dangerous..."

At what point did Karthikeyan overtake him?

Probably they will start to say that because HRT is a spanish team and poor, ferrari and alonso promise them some money in if they were going to stop Vettel when overlaping.

Anyway Vettel did an enemy when he called him cucumber. so now he shouldn't expect anything from him.

So what you're saying is that BUT on 20 laps younger, softer tyres was slower than HAM? Just to be clear on that.

Didn't Seb say "That was a stupid overtake!" ?

EDIT: Zeph beat me to that

and with a Vettel DNF, Alonso would need 3rd place. It's a long shot but in F1 you never know...
