Colin Chapman's legacy!!!111!!!1!!

Oh wait, wrong thread.

[dice1998]

Kimi knew what he was doing. 👍

 

[F1 fan]

To show how useless they are, and tell teams not to choose them again?

The teams don't have a choice.

 

[KinLM]

Ice-man!!! Kimi on top!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Fantastic for Kimi! my driver of the day!

 

[Liquid]

Two favourite current drivers first and second. Good days for the Iceman and Teflonso.

Sutil deserved more than 7th. An ambitious tyre strategy saw him more than holding his own against Vettel, not bad for someone who had a year out.

Bodes well for the rest of the year. Except for McLaren, who were nowhere.

Moment of the race: Dat presence of mind when Alonso noticed Hamilton locking up.

News from Section A Row Seat 10: Awesome win by Kimi!!!

 

[Panoz]

Time to bring out the alcohol. Kimi deserves it.

 

[Terronium-12]

Kimi always knows what's right.

He was having a sleep the entire time.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Kimi earned his ice cream today. 👍

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Great job Kimi, good job to Alonso and Massa and Lewis did a good job for a the new team too. Awesome drive from Sutil though it wasn't the spot that he thought he should have.

The teams don't have a choice.

Care to explain?

Good race.

Except for Mclaren.

Their race was bad, and they should feel bad.

 

[Anghammarad]

Nice opener. Drive of the day to Vettel - obviously

 

[Wardez]

Great race!!!!

Pirelli chooses which two compounds get used for each race.

 

[Seismica]

As a Mclaren fan, I didn't find the race particularly exciting. Though the surprise win for Raikkonen was good. At the halfway point it looked like a Vettel vs Alonso duel.

Vettel? Why? He didnt do anything too special.

 

[F1 fan]

Care to explain?

The rules state that in a dry race, the drivers must use both available dry compounds. Pirelli allocate the tires, not the teams. The most the teams can do is whine and bitch about them in the hopes that Pirelli will drop that particular compound but that's no guarantee.

They HAVE to use both compounds during a dry weekend.

Lol what?

Don't worry, the sarcasm is so dense in that post it's hard for most to see through.

[dhandeh]

Now, will Kimi swear in the interview?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

You have to be joking...which you probably are. But don't excite the Vettel fans

 

[GTPorsche]

I know it's only been one race, but this season looks like it's going to be very competitive.

 

[DaxCobra]

My sarcasm meter doesn't work this early in the morning.

 

[Panoz]

Now, will Kimi swear in the interview?

It's the Abu Dhabi podium again. Swearing is possible.

 

[Wardez]

Btw, this is what happens when you get a divorce and feel all bachelory as Kimi recently had happen. Totally explains his win

 

[-Fred-]

Hello ladies.

 

[Beerz]

Wow, Kimi sure was eager to drink some champagne! Was having withdrawn symptoms already.

 

[-Fred-]

Well, it's 3:45 in the morning, I think I need some sleep now.

Tune in next week, maybe.
