Force India's pitstops
McLaren wrecking a decent opportunity for Button
Alonso not pitting on lap 1.
 
Wheel nut designers. Mclaren and particularly Force India had significant problems with them this weekend, and they led to 3 retirements.
 
Sebastian 'dirty tricks' Vettel for

1) Shamelessly ignoring and exploiting team orders, knowing Webber was compromised by following them.
2) Also for his petulant "Mark is too slow, get him out of the way".
3) Also for the nonsensical dishonesty of saying "I didn’t mean to ignore the call... I got it. I heard it. But obviously no action followed cos I misunderstood."

A total King Cnut shows his true colours yet again.
 
There are a few!

Alonso, Hamilton, Force India, McLaren, Vettel

As its comedy value I'm after, I'm going for Hamilton
 
I can kind of see Ferrari's reasoning for leaving Alonso out, he would've lost 20 seconds for an extra stop, compared to one or two seconds a lap for three or four laps if he'd stayed out until the track was ready for slicks. In hindsight it was the wrong call, but it was a calculated risk they took, not an unnecessary one.

I think it was all Alonso's fault. and it happens..

he overestimated Vettels breaking and also he should have pitted. but you know... hindsight...beautiful

Just for the record, did you make a fuss when Webber tried to ignore team orders a few years ago in the last few laps of a race? His comments afterwrds were to the effect that he seemed to think it was ok to ignore them if they were racing for a potential win. All his comments show is that he is a total hypocrite.

as for custard pie, can we really look past Force India? The Alonso retirement was a risk worth taking imo, he didn't seem to be losing time, the track was drying out, wait a couple of laps fix the nose and change the tyres.

So Webber came out of the pits, saw Vettel was all over him, and turned his engine down? And that was how he managed to keep him behind for a couple of laps and almost repass the following lap?

Miggins is going to have plenty of "Webber is a hypocrite" material today.

Good call! <laugh>
Although you only get a A- AG as you got the wording wrong.
 
<laugh> Very funny but I am perplexed by all the 'whataboutery' being used to justify Vettel's behaviour.

As for Force India, WTF was going on?! They'll definitely be getting worst team from me, and I expect from most people.
 
Helmut Marko.

"We do not have number 1 and number 2 drivers like they do at Mercedes"

This is by far, the most misguided, ill-informed, narrow-minded, head-up-your-own-backside thing I have heard since the last time Ed Balls was on TV.
