Darn excuses again. :lol:

I think it is safe to say that the W02 is great in the wet but dreadful in the dry.

not really, Michael was great in the wet and not particularly the car
Rosberg had an awful day, he struggled fighting a lotus for a moment

We were robbed of an even better finish. Imagine Alonso and Hamilton thrown in to the mix on those last few laps with Vettel, Button, Webber and Michael. Now that would have been sensational...

Vettal admitted he made a mistake and locked up. It's likely that was because he was bing pushed very hard by Button. He also noted his mistake for not pushing harder earlier to give sufficient cushion. Does that make him a bad driver? No Is that likely to make him become a bad driver ? No way

He will learn that lesson (as will RB)and make sure it doesn't happen again and not take a win for granted.
I hope that don't take the win away from JB as he did drive superbly. I don't see sufficient in either incident to justify a dsq but then again nor did I agree with some of the DR's which were being handed out rather too freely for me..

As soon as the track dried out Schumacher was a sitting duck. I was hoping for him to sneak the win at one point then I remembered about the machinery.

Don't know what went on with Rosberg. He should have been much further forward.

Longest GP in history apparently (if you believe Jake Humphrey). If it was dry it would have been the shortest!

Hah hah, the tam always reminded me of dave chappel as a crack head.

But even though, i kinda never wanted Button to win for knocking out the other guys.

There is hope, even though Vettel is further ahead, that the guy can be stopped in Mclaren or Ferrari stay close up to the end.

Vettel is still the man, but boy i didn't expect him to over drive. He's usually inch perfect.

He lost turkey? to Button in the same way in 2009.
For Sure!!

Those things you cannot learn from. That is apart of your character. I suggest you look up the sprinter Asafa Powell.

same thoughts here... button man of the race no doubt but I feel sorry for Michael being a sitting duck in the endless DRS zone here, podium would have been well deserved after all of the critics on his return.

I am not a Vettel fan, and I have said myself quite a few times that I'd like to see him win from the back of the field or midfield, but to say that an F1 World Champion who is currently looking very good indeed to claim his 2nd WDC "can't race" sounds to me a bit like saying that after all these contacts at Monaco and Canada Hamilton "can't overtake"..
