7, but only because of Hamilton/Webber duel after pitstop when they were half a lap two wide. We should get that more often!

Jaime was very good. Assisted slightly by the SC, but even without it he was guaranteed of 8th through pace alone, which is a great result for him.

Also nominating Kobayashi post-SC. Had the incident with Bruno, needed a wing change and was still fast enough afterwards to beat his team-mate who did the same number of stops in what was a very poor car.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

DRS had all 3 performance levels today.

The bad - gifts passes which aren't earned

The useless - doesn't help at all

The good - helps a driver get a run, without giving a pass

It must be so hard to adjust this system given how much it varies. When it's good, it's an awesome device. When it's bad, it's horrible.

Hamilton looks less 'I'm about to jump off the cliff' today, still not too happy

7. First lap was very exciting, lots of action. 4 cars very close is always tense, whilst there was the anticipation of Webber vs Hamilton. Great battle between those two as well.

Just thought, we haven't seen Nicole bouncing up and down in the pits for a while, so maybe they broke up? Could explain Lewis' attitude.

Id like to see some proper racing where passing is more possible yet not too easy or too hard.

Thats why I think that they will never be able to tweak it to get it to work how they want it to & why they need to be looking at alternatives rather than simply tweaking DRS.

Even when you have a really short zone we still see more easy passes than is ideal.


The problem for Webber today was that his 7th gear was too short, He was hitting the Limiter way before the braking zone for turn 3, In other cases where cars had a more optimal 7th gear we saw some easy passes.

Or make DRS zones next year through fast corners. Ie, if you wanna try it...

That I would like to see, would at least put some strategy in the driver's hands.

She's over in America doing the American version of X Factor, but it still could be possible I guess.

STR just 3 points behind Sauber now. Alguersuari proving that he deserves a 2012 drive.
