I don't see how losing places due to a VSC is really any different to drivers losing spots due to a normal SC or Red Flag.

It's also not as if Lewis is the 1st driver to have lost places due to a VSC, He may be the 1st to have lost the lead but pretty sure others have lost places under a VSC since it was introduced.

It's a part of the sport, A part of the strategy & just like a full SC or Red Flag sometimes it benefits you & sometimes it cost's you. Today Lewis lost out & Vettel gained, Next time it may well go the other way.

So is it safe to say Honda were in fact the problem after all, given Alonso holding off marvelous Max for 5th while one Sauber finished 13th and the other blew up?

People can blame Honda for a lot of things but blaming them for Sauber's performance is a bit harsh.

Heh yes but after McLaren's pre-season issues, there was a lot of speculation that Sauber would turn it around with Honda while McLaren would continue to suck and it would prove McLaren were the problem all along.

Hay guise, is TBK passing through a time bubble because I just woke up and read that Ferrari out-strategied mercedes

Dat haircut, Seb!

Wait till the next race, Lewis will cut off his locks.

Not surprised one bit that ESPN dropped the ball for their TV coverage. So many ad breaks at ill-placed times, oh, and that pre-race show (not originally planned until this week) that was showing either still cameras around the track (without sound) or a rerun of ESPN The Magazine's 20th anniversary special for the first 24 minutes too. Sky comms crew is alright when we did get to hear them though.

Did Williams do something to upset the tv director? Only onboard image of Sirotkin standing still, no replays or trackview images. And I completely forgot about the second Williams until I checked the final results and noticed Stroll had been in the race as well today.

They'd cut to a commercial in the middle of a commentator's sentence, then come back later in the middle of another sentence, and you wouldn't get any kind of help on catching up on whatever we might have missed. The race was bad enough, but the commercial breaks made it even harder to watch.
