Wooooooooo Kabayashi. :D :D :D


Nice drive from Massa as well.
 
Brilliant from Kobayashi :D That was really nerve racking. Around lap 44-45 it looked to be all over, but then he fought back.
 
Grand Chelem for Vettel, wasn't it?
 
Massa and Kobayashi definitely had the better performances today.

Vettel was... exactly what we expected for this race.
 
Idiot TV director. KK and JB fighting it out so they show a Lotus being wheeled into the Pit. Morons. 👎
 
I think the German and Japanese flags will look nice side-by-side.


And, Massa's lost for words. XD So am I.
 
First ever podium for Kamui.
 
Maldonado's first points since his win. 3rd race this year scoring points.
 
Can't wait for that podium celebration.
 
So, Sauber has 4 podiums this year, surly their best year ever hmmm?
 
Holy 🤬 Excuse the Canadian French, but...


I finally have a reason to respect Massa. He hugged Kobayashi.
 
Not a bad race, shame Alonso spun out by himself as that would make things not as cut and dry as the championship is now. Two races ago, it was Alonso's, now it is Vettels to lose.

You give Vettel the car and he is totally untouchable, it's almost a formality for him to win. When anyone else is leading you always have a doubt, not when Seb is leading you don't.

Massive results for Massa and Kobayashi. That could keep them in their respective drives next year.
 
Great to see two drivers who really needed results in order to possibly keep their jobs get them! Very haooy I did an all nighter. :D
 
Great stuff right there.
 
Haha, "Hey, what happened at the start?" -Vettel


Seriously, Vettel must've flipped 🤬 upon hearing that Alyawnso was out.
 
I love the crowd, I'm having chills
 
The chants from the fans. :D
 
If anything, Schumacher pretty much spoiled the German anthem for everyone back in the day... I think at one point I knew it complete, back in 2002...
 
Good race, disappointing results.

I just wonder how good Alonso could have been considering Massa's pace. Maybe it's still not over for him. Shame about that cut tire.

Good result for Kamui but he absolutely botched the restart. Nice drive by Ricciardo.

Move of the race: Perez vs Lewis on the inside.

Blunder of the race: Perez vs Lewis on the outside.
 
Ich singe das Bundeslied meines Vaterlands!!


Good stuff, I say. It's nice to hear the German anthem again.



Edit: Fred would complain about having heard this anthem too many times.


And Austrian anthem. Always so threatening sounding.
 
Felipe's been off the podium for so long he forgot how to spray the champagne... :lol:
 
Yeah, we didn't hear the German anthem for... a whole 2 weeks. :boggled:
