Sorry for calling you a twat, it was just a figure of speech. I like you and we've got on well.

The Ferrari is barely faster then the Lotus, he did the best job possible. What more could he do?

Whilst I don't agree Alonso was a farce, that's actually a very valid argument. I can't fault that really lol.

There's a valid argument - had Alonso not fucked up the second restart he'd have got Kimi.

I haven't voted for anyone, but the vote for Lewis could be for his team, Alonso has been explained, and the other 4 could be apportioning blame for their accidents without having seen the footage or the explanations.

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.

I voted for Lewis, as mentioned, due to team.

You need to pick a driver who was a farce. Not a team via a driver.

Lewis was outstanding right up until his car let him down.

Ah, I see. I guess you can take that one off then.

Hadn't voted for Rosberg, but I see a point in it, specially with the multiple votes.

He started 7th, caused a puncture to Grosjean, pitted early - presumably for a problem related to the crash - went way down to the field to stay behind a wrecked Narain who took him out of the race, regardless of who was eventually guilt in this accident.

Button drove a decent race, especially in the end holding off Vettel on fresh softs. So why him? Perhaps you have a good reason. :)

Perez and Webber, for the reasons mentioned by most. And then also Vettel, a great drive today but he let himself down big time with that incident under the safety car, which he cannot blame the STR for.

I voted for di Resta. At the start he had room on the left but squeezed 3 cars over to the right and ended up taking out his team mate. I thought that was a bit silly.

Webber was driven into my Maldonado and Massa, was forced to pit by his team just so they got him out of Seb's way and it put him in terrible track position. Start was a farce yeah but he was incredibly unlucky.



Sorry, but you can't turn in on drivers when you're passing on the outside as if they're just going to vanish into thin air. Both of those collisions were Webber's fault.

I'll have to watch replays of it again, but from what I saw it looked like Webber didn't leave enough room.

Webber gave Massa a lot more room than he did in the Maldonado incident. Massa looked like he outbraked himself and ran too deep into the corner, hitting Webber.

Perez and Webber. Perez has become really amateur in the past few races, disappointing.
