    Not really. Silly move on Raikkonen. Shame after two great ones on Alonso and Button but there you go. I always had the feeling he was going to hit someone eventually the way he was going.

    Alonso wasn't having a great race before that to be fair. He probably gained a net place from it (passing Perez and Raikkonen, but losing out to Button)

    Always thought he was a great driver. People were too keen to focus on Schumachers failings rather than Rosbergs success. I always argued it was the car not the drivers that was the problem at Mercedes in 2011 and 2012 and Nico looks to be proving me right.

    Looks like Schumacher's comeback was more successful than it initially appeared to be. He matched Rosberg, who's now beating one of the big 3 (Hamilton)

    It would appear so.


    Come back Manny, we're sorry, you were right.

    Schumachers getting praise on not606 and he's missing it!

    Anyway it certainly wasn't successful, but history might remember it more kindly if Rosberg continues his current trajectory. Losing out narrowly (at 42) to him isn't looking so bad at the moment.

    Why are people blaming Perez for the Raikkonen incident? He just cut him up completely and doesnt deserve the point he got...

    Perez lunged from too far back at a gap that wasn't there.

    So basically the same thing as what happened with Alonso but he was smart enough to see it

    Driving too slowly or quickly under the safety car.

    I had live timing on in the race.
    Kimi did a 1:41 under safety car (as did everyone else), the two Red Bulls did 1:37's. Why aren't they under investigation?

    Yeah, I always thought that too. I had him in the Sweeps, and was praying he'd stop going for them once he was ahead of Button.

    On Massa's incident, Anthony Davidson highlighted something interesting post-race. Just before he locks up something starts flapping on the inside of the front left. Whether it's barge-board, tyre, suspension or not he couldn't work out, but that was the spot the lock-up started. It might not all have been his fault.
