Vettel is having a hard time with that car.

And there goes Kimi. Button, Y U LAG BEHIND?!
 
Yeah, this has been an awful weekend all around for him nothing like we saw in the past two gp.

That start from Sutil looked like something I'd pull in an F1 game, comical really.
 
Great stuff so far from Romain, push the len Seb

Wow, Vettel was just beat hard by his team mate, Grosjean and Hamilton. Luckily for him he gave Lewis a puncture and thus saved face slightly.

I don't think he had space, either way. Grosjean and Hamilton had him boxed.

-

Massa being told "Multifunction Strategy A."

That'll be a lot harder for Alonso to scream at the end of the race than "Multi 22".

-

Hamilton may be retiring. Car not going to make it to the end.
 
Oh, not that "Fernando is faster than you" BS again :rolleyes:

And there goes Hamilton, what a shame.
 
Looks like it's all over for Lewis, which is a shame.

Yeah he didn't have the room, but I really think he could have taken the fight back to Lewis if he had backed off a bit, then passed coming out of turn one. I feel Lewis wasn't going to maintain even if he hadn't got the puncture.
 
The revenge of the Number Twos.

Grosjean ahead of Kimi, Webber ahead of Vettel, Massa ahead of Alonso, Nico ahead of... where's Lewis again? :lol:
 
Grosjean deserves the win for giving us a GP! Funny how certain drivers can manage being in the pack, and others are whinging on the radio!!!!!!
 
Blinding pit stop by Fezza for Massa 2.6 and same for Romain

Edit 2.3 for Alonso
 
Not a good day for Merc! Hamillton retired and the Chuckle brothers releasing Rosberg from the pits.
 
Rosberg may be dinged with a penalty.
 
Can Brawn's weekend get any worse? Lewis out, Nico having issues, now a possible penalty for an unsafe release in the pits.
 
Continuing the revenge of the number twos, Perez passes Button.
 
Wow, Vettel is having a really hard time :eek:

Edit: Drive Through for Nico Rosberg, that is wrong
 
RBR kept Vettel out just a bit too long.

Perhaps they wanted to give him some clean air behind Mark... he'll have fresher tires at least, at the end of this stint.
 
Hulkenberg looking good for more points again.
 
And there is the penalty for Rosberg.
 
Something is clearly wrong with Vettel's car, maybe a suspension issue?

And .. drive through for Rosberg, it would suck to be Ross Brawn right now.
 
Vettel isn't driving very cleanly, it's almost as if he's been unsettled a bit from the start, which is unusual for him.
 
Vettle was ragging them tyres beyond their limit! Looks like Red Bull are pacing themselves here.
 
Haven't noticed until now, but Hulkenberg is doing a terrific race today as well.
 
Ricciardo also having a good race, but he's yet to pit

If RBR slip, he could actually get on the podium.

It'd be nice if Hulk could get a podium, same place Kamui did last year for the same team and then was booted. Which would be ironic.
 
I'm surprised Di Resta hasn't binned it yet.
 
Indeed... that was very... brave out there.
 
Ricciardo is a making a huge queue, even Kimi is catching them up.
