    Why is F1 finishing so soon?

    Who the hell watches EastEnders?

    On another note, the doctor who trailer that just aired looked epic!

    Idd but the same thing can be said for jenson, he would of never been in front if the pitstop wasn't screwed up for vettel. If vettel didn't deserve the win jenson didn't deserve the clean air because of a fked up pitstop.

    I admit it was luck vs luck but that's how the sport rolls.

    Even if Vettel had a good pitstop Button was already ahead because he undercut Vettel on the option tyres.

    BBC driver of the day:
    1. Button
    2. Vettel
    3. Alonso

    The right 3 drivers finished on the podium, but just in the wrong order imo

    I agree but I can see why it went that way. Alonso's race was quiet in relation to Button's in terms of TV coverage and race commentary. Vettel was lucky but he got himself into position to take advantage of that.

    Im sorry but Jenson was poor today, he had tyres that were 3 seconds faster than Alonso and Vettel and he didnt even try to overtake.

    Vettel was pure class today, there is no question that he has just gone up another level halfway through last season, well done Seb.

    Button was the fastest driver today, the two SCs ruined his race, he was in a very strong position after building a big lead then the first SC took that away, Button then recovered and closed in on Alonso and Vettel whos tyres were about to go and then the second SC again screwed him again.

    I'm going to back off in this forum because genji's right, this is getting a bit hostile.

    Word.

    It was a great race. It didn't go the way some of us wanted but F1 2011 marches on.

    LOL. Jordan in the pool. He's lost his contact lens.

    Fernando Alonso: "I really think in the last eight or nine laps, the tyres on the Red Bull were struggling a lot - certainly in the last part of the circuit. There was nothing to lose for me. I am not leading the championship. I will try and win the race and if we crash, we crash."

    Damn Red flag!!

    Ha Red Bull put the prime tyres on instead of he options tyres by mistake. And I thought he could not get any luckier.

    you could see David was getting ready for it. 5 minutes beforehand he was already holding on to the pole.

    Hamilton gets a 20-second penalty for his collision with Maldonado, Autosport reports. He keeps 6th place.

    So good to see Lewis dropping the nce guy PR crap

    To best Vettel and he is the only one who can, Alonso and Button failed, he needs to start cutting corners and taking people out like schumie, senna etc

    Fantastic race by lewis, 2 penalties, got crashed into, bad luck etc

    And still came 6th

    What a star

    Whats the point?

    Schumacher in Hungaru showed what you should do when it is too close to the end. Don't just do what effectively is nothing. He destroyed what was a magnificent drive by maldonado
