Vettel was thoroughly outclassed by Webber, almost a minute behind. Nice Senna/Mansell scene to top it all off  How do you know that he won in the third fastest car? | ||

Got a good start and made a gap. The two faster cars closed once they had heat. Webber lost out after his stop because he made a mistake at turn one (fell behind both of them). Alonso suffered again with his tyres out of the pits and was passed because of it. He got in front by lapping purple at the end of his stint, faster than Hamilton on brand new tyres.Ferrari and Red Bull both over-estimated how slow the prime would be and Webber/Alonso both were trying to make their last set of options last until the end (like Vettel/Massa) and it proved to not be the case. | ||

Pitting later could not have been worse in absolute position, so it's worth a shot even though it's likely he will be slower. | ||

 +1 for Croatia xD.I simply don't understand why Ferrari has to botch something either on track or in pit they are so non-consistent but lolz 2nd place Alonso still pretty good  ; RBR knew where their strength was in the end when racing trough pitlane itself....Any other countries had choppy pictures / lost of feed? edit: lols on taxi Webber  | ||

Thought it was very telling how Martin Brundle at one point called one of the passes a "pure overtake" as there was no drs involved. (i forget which it was - may have been hamilton getting back past alonso) Think it shows his personal opinion on drs in F1. | ||

He loses the lead first corner everytime, guaranteed! before open wheel motorsport he drove in one le mans 24 hour race. in fact he was one of the drivers involved in the infamous mercedes car flip incidents ;p | ||

I think the end of the race proved him right. Additional to that McLaren (and Ferrari) are faster in a straight line and that's the safer place to overtake someone. | ||

I think every smart driver would like to do a Schuy and just win it asap That's not what I meant. We were talking about risks and Button didn't take many risks at the end of the season. I mean why should Vettel risk his points just to get 4th instead of 5th place. | ||

It was not a case of Vettel hanging back, he just wasnt fast enough this weekend as a whole or to get in a position to overtake Massa on the track. It was a bit strange he decided to ignore his teams orders at the end though, must be a Red Bull trait  | ||

Vettel dsn't ever really take risks... he is just fast and had been in the fastest car... i think if McLaren and Ferrari can contiune to match RB's pace in the coming races then this season's championship could be up for grabs | ||
