Ugh, not that great of a race. Gullible people like you guys are the reason promoters usually feed us **** until the main event. You only remember the last emotion.
Aside from the first lap, a few incidents and the last ~20 laps, the race was boring. The first stint was completely boring, and the first part of the second stint as well until The Rosberg-then-Perez incidents. Then the safety car took out a lot of laps that otherwise could've given us even better final few laps as the tyres would be hitting the cliff.
Initially I only kept watching because I saw that Rosberg's saving his tyres for a late charge, which
almost happened. Hamilton did what he does best, and ate his tyres too early by being too close to Grosjean in the first half of the race. Just as I was getting all excited seeing Rosberg making the pass, his front wing just fell off. After that Perez did exactly what Hamilton did + a massive lockup then got himself a delamination.
I'm not defending Pirelli here and I do think their tyres are a joke, but is it a coincidence that it's always the medieval drivers that have their tyres explode? It's always the guys being too aggressive on their tyres even at Silverstone and Bahrain.
Hamilton, Massa, Perez. Before you start saying "Perez takes care of his tyres", he stopped doing that at Bahrain after he got embarrassed the first two races. Seriously, Hamilton was losing 2.5 seconds per lap and increasing. One lock up like Sergio's and his tyres would've shared the same fate.
Other points:
*Kimi got a little lucky but made it count when he needed to. It's rather interesting seeing how Boullier wanted Grosjean to pass so bad but was too scared to make the team order. Also, in the pre-podium room Kimi had a smirk on his face when Seb asked Grosjean what happened. The two Lotus driver didn't even speak. There's definitely something going on in there between Lotus and Kimi and they're both keeping quiet. Not that Kimi would have to be told to do so anyway.
*As much as I love Hulkenberg and admire how he managed to hold back Hamilton (and Rosberg at Monza), this isn't the same back marker Sauber we saw at the beginning of the season. More on this later.
*Di resta fell asleep at the wheel again. Maybe it was bad luck in qualifying a few times, but he's been losing during the race the last few times.
*I don't understand why people are giving Sutil a lot of **** when Massa did the same thing and nearly took Alonso out of the race, as well as ruin other drivers' races. More on this later part 2.
*Guitierrez once again doing a great job. He would've been up there with Hulkenberg if it wasn't for that first lap incident caused by Massa that threw him way off track. That Sauber seems to be going back to last year's performance.
*Horrible luck for Webber. As usual. He could've taken pole away from Sebastian if he didn't have to set up his car for the race, and he STILL could've managed to get on the podium if it wasn't for that fire. Also I may be wrong but did he receive a message on the radio saying his batteries weren't working again or something?
Kimi qualifies badly, has an average race but finishes 2nd.
How does he do that?
Watch the race and you'll know.
Question for the guys that frequently post here, how many of you watch every single lap of the race?
