Eddie being a cock in the forum, no surprises there.

Eddie and Damon need to have a watch. Might joy their memory.

Very good with genuine fighting even in top positions.

Christian Horner doesn't seem to have a lot of faith in his drivers ability to race each other.

Alonso put the hammer down when he needed to, although he was majorly helped by Red Bull having a brain fart and Hamilton being slow as molasses following the second stops. Deserved winner.

Serge did it again, using the Sauber's friendliness towards its tyres to propel himself into the points.

Jaime provided more of the same, and it may be that Buemi needs to look over his shoulder for next season.

Schumacher was quite fast, clumsy accident excepted.

Serge gets it.

Yeah...atrociously wet race, first ever victory, and Ralf Fricking Schumacher is a hugely different prospect to a dominant team not letting their drivers race despite the worst possible case scenario is that a crash between their drivers puts back them winning both crowns for a few races.

I don't even see why everyone's making such a major issue of it. Any team with their cars 2nd and 3rd with 3 laps to go would have done the same thing. To do anything else would be fucking retarded.

Of all the team principles, he might be the one who should be the most worried. :p All the mistakes from Vettel and Webber last year.

A thousand times better than Valencia *Most obvious post of the day*

The most amazing thing about it was the dry part had more action than the wet part!

I'll give it an 8 too! :)

Because if advantaged Vettel, essentially. It's no secret that he's disliked, so now we have a team saying don't race and Vettel gets the advantage, it's going to be a massive issue.

But lets put it this way. Lets say Perez starts ahead of Kobayashi, but messes up the start. But Perez still gets advantages on the pit stops, and is allowed to fight Kobayashi right until the last 2 laps, but still is unable to beat him. Then he is told to hold position. Would we make a massive fuss out of that? Of course not - it's perfectly sensible. And that's what happened here today. Given Webber got priority in the pit stops, whilst being behind his team mate (which usually decides the pit stop orders), I don't think he's in position to moan about favouritism.

Turkey 2009, Vettel held position behind Webber for 2nd and 3rd after team orders. We didn't make an issue then.

I really want to give it to Button for his amazing pass around the outside of Stowe but I'm going to give it to Alonso for sticking it to Vettel and giving us some variety on the top step with a great performance.

Don't believe those who say he only won because of Red Bull's mess-up in the pits....Vettel didn't lose 20 seconds or however long it was he was delayed by!

Watching the forum and I can't believe I used to be a fan of Jordan (the team!)
Eddies making me feel very guilty about that with his buffoonary

At least in those days Eddie was too busy to talk much, I guess.

Meh, still they were still better than BAR :p

Alonso, he had what it took to beat RB even if they hadn't fucked up their stop.

Worthy mentions to Perez and Alg in the points again, he's certainly saved his seat and Button for that pass.
