    TBH, Lewis was bang on it much more than Nico before the fuel issue forced him to slow. I think Ross felt bad about that. I do feel for Nico though.

    Very disappointed that the Vettel fanboys defend him no matter what he does. Sorry guys, but on this occasion you're just plain wrong.

    There's only one way to solve this at RBR... and that's with a good old-fashioned fist fight... or dueling pistols.

    Seb was absolutely wrong to ignore it. It was petulant (all the way through with his whining "move him, he's too slow") and completely unprofessional. Lost a lot of respect for him as an honerable man today.

    Well, actually Webber should be happy about the fact that he didn't get a drive through penalty for his action on the straight. Reminded me of Schumi & Barichello in Hungary.

    Bit biased, but for me probably the driver of the day, Perez showed the McLaren is still far from great and Button could have had that thing on the podium.

    <doh> Plain wrong for thinking racers should be allowed to race. I never criticised Webber's actions in Silverstone. It's the haters who have changed their tune. Suddenly team orders are sacrosanct. ****ing pathetic. <doh>

    Hamiltons no longer there so Whitmarsh is up to 80% fault whilst Hamilton is down to a meagre 20%

    The race itself, if I'm honest wasn't great, decent enough but the race only got interesting up the front once the final stops were over (we all know what happened)
    Race itself will go down as TeamOrderGate..
    Shame Alonso went out after lap 2, think he'd could have taken the race to RB and with better tyre management and good race pace would most likely have won.
    Mercedes with a solid showing, still quite a bit of work for them to do but moving in the right direction, I think, if you offered Hamilton 4th place in the WDC after the first two races he'd have bitten your hand oiff.
    McLaren I think will be much stronger come China, in one week they've already shown they've got a better handle on the car.
    What the hell happened to Lotus? hope it was a blip.

    I thought he was rather average today, didn't beat the caterham by as much as expected.

    Yup... all Whitmarsh. Apparently Whitmarsh also hacked Dennis Waterman's phone.

    Whether the orders were correct or not is a different debate. The driver is an employee of the team and should still follow them. To completely ignore Horner like that was so incredibly childish. These guys have delivered him 3 championships.

    Clearly deluded.

    Gutted for Mark. I love Sebastian as a guy and a driver but there's no doubting he showed disrespect to Mark today. Thought Mark drove a supreme race and then to think the team had settled on that he gets a very different answer from his team mate. Never seen Mark looked so distraught and for even the Vettel fan boys on here to not feel sympathy for him is pathetic. Who the hell watches f1 just for 1 driver?
