    I'd say Button really can't wait til they all have to stick on the mediums.

    Racing incident between Schumi and Senna as far as I could tell.

    Investigating investigating investigating, what happened to the old days when a coming together of two cars was just a racing incident.

    Odd how much quicker he looked when behind Button, he's not got amazing pace now he's past him.

    Anyone else watching it on bbc1 hd, the picture quality at times doesn't look great.

    Button said before qualifying he wasn't happy on the softer tyres which is why I was surprised he got P3.

    No need for that penalty for Senna IMO. Slightly more his fault but not worth a penalty.

    Surely Senna does not deserve a penalty for that indecent.

    Picture broke once or twice just before the race other than that it looks good.

    Heavy handed penalties like that are strangling the racing in my opinion.

    No, no need for that. DC is raging id say:rolleyes: MB said he had it as a racing incident.

    At times there is need but they seem a bit trigger happy this year. Anyone else think the same??

    Hope there's a bit of rain

    Penalty for Senna probably consistent with penalties earlier in the year

    Vettel told to "short shift, every corner, every lap." It's not looking good for his gearbox. But I have to wonder why the Red Bull team are happy for everyone else to hear that?

    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’.

    Yes, it's certainly consistent with many of the other ludicrous penalties they've handed out this year.

    Am i the only one who thinks RB are setting Webber up for a win. Expect gearbox problems to clear up after the pass.

    Had thought about this myself, they seemed to be over exaggerating how they were telling him about it. Normally if there was a problem they would try to give as little away as possible over the radio to stop people like Alonso getting a sniff of a place.

    Could be interesting with Button and Alonso towards the end.

    Would be suprised if that was the case myself. Webber has said before he'd rather take the position from Vettell than be gifted it.

    Red Bull are exaggerating a bit I think about Vettel's car, if only to give Webber the win and also give Alonso some false hope.

    Hasn't been a great race so far unless there is a 10 car pile-up I don't see that changing :pac:

    Feel the same way myself, there was so much talk about rain that I feel a little cheated that it didn't happen.

    As Webber is unlikely to achieve the win single-handedly, he'll very happily take the gift. I certainly can't see him handing it back to Vettel before the chequered flag.
