    Also glad the vettel finger wasn't waving for victory, funny he doesn't show any other number when he finishes a race
    Agreed - Ferrari was in a different time when it was outlawed. Now it's allowed, but if you come all high and mighty like Horner did and then come out with that on Sunday, it's a bit rich. It's not like Vettel needs the points...

    That's why the Spanish baby threw his toys out, he couldn't beat a rookie. He wanted team orders as he was a world champion, Mclaren said no, it wasn't the way they did things.

    That whole "Maintain the GAP" pish was a load of bo!!ocks the 'one' fingered one doesn't need any more points but Webber could have done with those extra points. (Horner = even if team orders are allowed this season)

    Felt sorry for Jenson though, doing a great job till the muppet holding the looly pop released him minus his right front wheel nut...

    The only way Ferrari won that race was coz of the mistake by RB in the pits with the rear wheel issue on the one fingered ones car let them get passed

    So overall not a great race in my books

    I think it was still a great race, a lot of drama admittedly some of it down to mistakes - Button and Vettel.

    The progress that Hamilton made whilst the conditions were a bit dodgy and that overtake on Alonso in particular was special.

    One happy chappy

    I reckon that Alonso would have taken Vettel on the track given the pace the Prancing Horse had

    Go the Fernando

    & the re overtake on Hamilton was equally impressive

    Wasn't mate, he let him past pretty much. Hamilton put his car on to wet track at 150mph (with slicks) approaching a corner not knowing whether the tyres would have dried off enough so that he could slow down.

    Just 'joshin' ya rocket

    Yes Hamiltons overtake on Alonso was impressive but when I see a red car doing any overtaking I'm just ever so slightly biased
