I think we shouldnt lose sight of the fact that those pitstop blunders cost real points. They cannot be caught back now.

Kudos to the team for its speed but the earlier issues were a seperate problem, not to do with speed but with the overall management of the pitstops, which falls with management.

[quote="mprules" Strong words. I think that what you said is the reson so many peolpe don't like SV, but they don't dare to say it as you did it. Honest question: Imagine for a minute that SV was English. Would you guys see him the same way? This has nothing to do with nationality. Nothing. It's ab...

He is waving not much nor less than any other top driver including both Alonso and Hamilton. But it's Vettel so let's give him a stick. Cry me a river. Ok, there's a big conspiracy against Vettel on this forum. Is that what you wanted to hear? I think his point is that everyone waves their hand whe...

If Button had retired or wasn't anywhere near Hamilton un-lapping himself would Hamilton have done the same thing? Yes... would this now be a talking point if this had happened... probably not. Button being close to this bit of legal racing is just an excuse to pick at it. I don't think its about J...

I found the incident very funny. By the letter of the law Hamilton should have been penalised but anyone with an ounce of common sense would tell you that was nonsense. What was really interesting was having over taken Vettel and then not be able to over take Alonso. At what point can Vettel demand...

Of course he is talented - he is a fast driver and showed something a little special at barcelona. He needs to soften his behaviour a little, be a little more gracious and accepting of errors - it will stand him in good stead as i fear he may be developing an unwarranted reputation as a reckless and...

Not many are more charismatic. Schumi and Kimi are. ............ Nop, no one else. Its just Schumi and Kimi for me.

I think we can conclude Alonso is one of leading contenders, that wont change at Hungary regardless of how Ferrari do. I think car performance will continue to vary race by race so i dont think any race will give a definitive idea.

Are Ferrari really in the contention as much as they seem now? When's the last time we had a fairly normal and stable weekend where everyone were able to maximize their potential or thereabouts both in race and qualy? That may never happen this year. The Ferrari is right there, that's the point i t...

I think people recognise he is driving well with the least mistakes and has a good car and full support of his team - i think he is looking very stong.

Vettel is a difficult one for me - He does some things that i really dislike (usual things) however he has some moments where he really comes across like a good bloke - when he was talking about the Hoff and how he didnt like him at silverstone to lee and dc, i thought that really charming and he ca...

I don't tihink Lotus could have asked Grosjean to move over at this early stage if the season. He is their driver of the future and he has to be developed carefully... Even Massa was allowed to hold up Alonso and cost him victory in 2010,, It may very well have cost Kimi the win but that's racing. C...

Great race from Kimi, was really rooting for him to get Vettel. Great result for Lotus.

In 2010 his pole to win ratio was not very good. Especially at the beginning of the year before the aggressive EBD came in. He would won the first three races all if he did not encountered reliability problems, before the aggressive EBD came in. He knows, he's just twisting the facts to suit his ar...

Red Bull/Mercedes

It's very close though, could even throw Lotus in the mix.

I think the points are fine, a win shouldn't be artificially inflated to double that of the runner up, it's still only one place. IMO, wins are worth more as they mean something in their own right, a race win is an acheivement that can't be value in points. I don't think it's likely we'll see a wdc ...

Q: what does it mean for tomorrow? MS: It means that I have to start from 17th on the grid… :] I have to say, I really like Schumi, he is very laid back and quite a classy guy - I guess he's mellowed with age and perhaps realises he can't do what he used to due to lack of testing and so now just ra...

No, Webber hasn't been forced to give up an advantage - teammates share all set up data all the time - Mark is saying that he thinks they will actually take idea from each other as they try to find a set up for ther car.

Strategy! Unfortunately i don't think macca has a clue about strategy. They just react to what the other teams are doing and to top it all off they now can't consistently go through a race without messing up one of their pit stops.

Dunno I've seen some pretty venomistic stuff aimed towards Lewis over the years. Especially after his massa incidents.

I think Alonso's attitutude is as good as one could expect - I think he's content being top dog, knowing he has his two championships and is respected as a driver. He probably also knows he has several years to get one or two more titles.
