Team order for RBR probably they didn't want them to crash out like Turkey 2010...but who knows...
 
Webber's definetley in his last season with Red Bull. Anyone think he might take Massa's seat at Ferrari? Although it's just more of the same there.

No hope of Hamilton joining Red Bull, imagine Webber giving out about the team X10. If he was told not to pass he would probably just overtake while flipping off Vettel shouting abuse.

While it is true that I am a Red Bull fan, I am first an foremost an Anti-Alonso-Fan fan. That is, a person who dislikes those who like Alonso. Ive said in previous threads, more than half of Alonso's wins in the last two seasons have come from situations beyond his, and anyone elses, control. Excluding his team orders win.

I dont like alonso, but he would have won regardless, in my opinion.

After the race Alonso said "Fantastic race. Fantastic.". Didn't start to scream like a 6 year old girl after getting a new toy, as Vettel always does.

Right, so celebrating winning an F1 race is a bad thing. Noted.

Well thats where I think you are wrong, Vettel would have and should have won this race. For me, the driver of the day was either Hamilton or Schumacher.
 
Alright, see you guys on the next race, hope this Nurburg. mountain weather play their role.
Stupid connection here at cousin't house make me want to smash up their modem. :grumpy:

1. True

2. You would rather ignore it.

and

3. Can't accept it.

No, im not wrong. Or right. Its an opinion.
 
My driver of the day is FAlonso. His pace was just OTT on Vettel in the last parts of the race :D And while Hammy made his way up the field superbly well he made a dirty move in the last corners so he's not gonna get my driver of the day tonight :D
 
Well done Alonso. Not a single mistake.

Vettel has still not shown that he can make a proper race pass on a car with anything that even approaches similar performance of the Red Bull. Had it not been for team orders, Hamilton's fuel miscalculcation and Jenson's bad luck he would not have been on the podium today. So much for Alonso only inheriting wins eh.
 
Alex, Those Vettel's "celebrations" just makes me laugh. I mean when he is the boring winner the 10000th time in a row, he should've just get used to that. And when he is always like 50s in front of the nearest opponent he could celebrate for 2 laps before the finish. I don't respect Vettel. Actually he is the only F1 driver that I don't respect.
 
Well Vettel is the championship Leader and although He Won't lose the title if he came third youd have to put into consideration that wouldn't be just infront of Mark haden't been for the Pitstop also I am not too sure Mark would have gotten him anyway.

Massa should really be awarded Lewis's Spot .Oh and did Trulli retire because of a reliability issue (the Irony :sly:)

Great race overall the real winners though are the guys in the Pits ,Kamui,Paul,Jensen,Seb......etc All got into trouble .

Pitstop Guys Luigi is not amused.

Webber won't fit at Ferrari he's too independent, I could see him go to Williams to replace Barrichello.

Note that I said "think". I "think" that Vettel should have one, so of course I "think" that anyone who says anything to contrary, is wrong.

All Alonso had to do in that race is exactly what Vettel has done all season, lap consistently and hope no one gets in his way. Yet, when Vettel does it, the race is a bore and people complain. Where is the consistency?

I'd say the framework for Alonso's win was made when they started on inters.

That meant no dreaded hard tyres for the Ferrari.

It was a very good performance though. He still had to beat everybody out there and he did it with relative ease.
 
Alonso for the championship? Maybe if the overrun regulations get sorted out.
But he will need Massa to finish 2nd every race too.

You disagree. Stating that im wrong, makes me look like a 🤬 dumb idiot.
Wheras, you through your red bull tinted glasses, cant see that vettel wasnt fast enough.

Who cant pass who wah wah wah, same thing that we always hear when Vettel comes up. Lets not forget that Alonso couldnt even pass Petrov in a vastly superior car in Bahrain last year. If one person not being able to pass one car is your standard, then it isnt a very good one.

Also, how Tired says, Ferrari also benefited from not having to run hards, and the EBD rules have clearly gone in their favor.

Where did I say that your were a "🤬 dumb idiot"? Your sentence structure does that job for you. Obviously I have some bias towards Vettel, but suggesting that Alonso drove some fantastic race when all he really did is get lucky is beyond foolish.

Also note that Red Bull using team orders is a bad thing, whereas Red Bull not using team orders (Turkey last year) is a bad thing. To add to that it's worth mentioning that Red Bull winning is a bad thing, Red Bull not winning but still beating McLaren is a bad thing and the worst thing of all is that Red Bull has given a young driver the best car of the grid as well as full support to win the title. Especially the last one of those is something that has never happened in other teams. The heroic drivers of those other teams have always driven horse carriages against rocket sleds and still won.

At least that's the general impression I'm getting around here.
 
Feel really sorry for Button, brill interview by Hamilton! 👍
 
Hamilton: "I got a platinum card at the stewards."

Schumacher still testing front wings for Mercedes.

It's such a shame, because his pace was very good. I wonder if Schumacher is the one that have destroyed most front wings this year...

Is that your only defence? "provide a link"

I don't need to, it's common knowledge amongst fans of our sport of choice, if you care to disregard a plain and simple fact then fine, I hold no amimosity towards you or your (IMO) misguided beliefs. I pointed you in the right direction and you chose to ignore.
