Ferrari lost the race when they were consistently massively slower all weekend... Thank god he did though. Without him and Kimi on a two stop i would probably have slipped into a coma.
53 laps is way too short for this circuit, should be at least 60. Red Bull have won the three low downforce races this season. Great result for Hulkenberg.
Stella to ALO: "We fought like lions all weekend long. Something more was impossible" The sad thing is Ferrari didn't do a bad job either - they were clearly better than Mercedes and Lotus. It was just that Red Bull were completely dominant.
Mercedes also lost the race in Q2. Hamilton was consistently quicker than everybody lap after lap...even when he was on the harder tyre he was pumping in very fast laps even when they called him in to change because of the slow puncture he was still doing good lap times. He and Rosberg were down in the 1.26s. Then on lap 25 Hamilton did a 1:25.849.
My god Vettel's victory radio messages are so unoriginal and generic I can recite them off by heart. Get some originality and change the god damn record.

Why do they do the interviews on the podium? Mind you, it made me smile when Jean Alesi walked off when Alonso was still talking to him.
