    The lapped cars are pretty damn uncooperative today!

    Alonso well and truly caught napping there.

    Vettel played that nicely. Backmarkers couldn't keep up

    1-2 gap already back up to 8 seconds, because Button was held up by those back markers. Argh.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Like I said, Vettel's just been toying with them. He's got a second a lap in hand anytime he feels like it.

    Kobayashi under investigation for ignoring blue flags, if it's for overtaking other cars I'd say it's a bit unfair.


    Goddamn Hamilton. I hate when he fcuks up and still gets the breaks.

    Perez was just defending inside. Did he brake at all or did Schumacher just run into him

    Obviously I don't know. :pac: I'd just be surprised if he didn't break for such a sudden and large difference in speed between the two.

    That track's a mess, chunks of carbon fibre everywhere. Someone's at risk of losing a tyre if they go off the racing line.

    think it was more to do with perez's line through that corner compromising his exit speed massively

    From the angle on the live coverage Schumi seemed to nearly run into him and lift off then Perez slowed again.

    Could be a fun few last laps with the different tyres. Ferrari don't seem to like hot conditions for soft tyres.

    Alonso's tyres are shot. Hope he stays out, be interesting.

    Really hope Hamilton doesn't get above 6th, DiResta deserves the 5th spot.

    Radio: "Let's have Vettel". We've seen that Vettel is vulnerable under pressure - remember Canada.

    edit: Vettel has backmarkers ahead ...

    He should have a coupla seconds in hand even at the current pace

    EDIT: The traffic being kind to Vettel, in the clear.

    Yikes - Vettel was lucky he didn't get too mixed up in that battle. Just 1.7 sec lead by the finish line.

    Pity button didn't push right to end. Williams really broke his charge. Webber really no where against his team mate. Good force India result

    Vettel in a class of his own yet again.
    Button is definitely the main man @ mclaren now, hes been great the last 6-7 races.

    Button has had 7 podiums in the last 10 races and among those 10 races were 2 retirements that weren't his fault. He's certainly put himself ahead of everyone else bar Vettel IMO.
