Great win for Webber - superb drive and puts him even further ahead of Seb... could we see a real battle between the Red Bull drivers for the title for a change??
 
MAAEEEEEEK Wibbah! Awesome race at the end, I found it a bit boring up until that point, was some awesome driving by Mark to pass Alonso, brilliant.
 
Good race that, Webber deserved it. Fair play to Alonso and Vettel. Lotus still on the pace. Mclaren off the pace.

Idiot of the day, hmm, let me think...
 
What happened to Mclaren, they've just been getting worst and worst.

Congrats to Webber, great drive form him.
 
Horrible job from Button and Rosberg today and bad luck for Hülkenberg. At least Schui saved the 7th place.
 
Button is extremely lucky to have gotten that tenth place... It was simply gifted to him. Can't be a good feeling being bottled up behind several cars that you know were once slower than yours...

This championship is getting interesting... Are we going to see eight separate winners over the next eight races? :D

Wimbeldon? What's that? The big ping pong tournament?
 
Mclaren's pit stop strategy saddened me today. :(

What do you think Rowan Atkinson?

Well said.
 
I was watching the SKy coverage but with the BBC onboard footage, was interesting to see the different lines, gear choices and how the cars reacted. Can definitely tell you that the Mercedes didn't look like a nice car to drive, it was a little nervious and understeery (schumacher going wide quite often), the Ferrari and Lotus were looking incredible for the most part in contrast, those cars are really nailed.

I didnt see much of the Red Bull cars to compare them but did notice vettels front wing, the right end plate was wobbling about a lot as if it was broken, I think at the end it was just the chess match of tyres, to me the best cars looked like the Ferrari and Lotus, with the Mclaren and Mercedes especially not looking great at all.
 
Not bad for a number 2 driver. :lol:

Seriously, that was a great drive from Webber. Alonso did well until the final few laps, and the Lotus looked really quick again. Shame about the McLarens, just not got the pace after a strong start to the season.
 
Eventually had to fall down on the best car, not taking anything away from Webber, who really played it very, very well.

Alonso... Don't think we need to stress any more his awesome performance this year.

Vettel 3rd... Proves how well the RBR is right now :D (just teasing his fanboys)
 
McLaren is now a mere fourth in the Constructor's... Woe, woe, woe.

Red Bull is back where you expect them to be, but man, what a season for Ferrari... They may still get the Driver's Championship if Alonso continues on like this...

Webber got lucky that the tire game fell his way at the end... But really, it's all about who did the best laps over the whole race, and it was Webber who put in the fastest average.

Why couldn't the pit girls have had white tops!

Was thinking... damn you Santander colours! :lol: They loved it though ;)

They have spent more money on that, then the infrastructure for the fans.

Yeah seriously, as Bernie aptly put it a few years ago its like "a country fair masquerading as a world-class event". I mean people parking on fields, jeez this isn't a music festival and it certainly isn't priced like one plus the scaffolding main stand is just embarrassing.

The pit complex was an excellent start but that whole place seriously needs investment.
 
Looks like Ferrari is on the ball now - pace in the rain and in the dry. If they could just fix their strategy, they might just well be untouchable for the next few races.
