Re: What should the spirit of F1 be?
I say F1 is about "Top Performance." The words apply to all of the aspects.
The things that bug me about F1 are things that challenge the concept of top performance. Things like politics, team orders, cheating, etc.

Re: Mark Webber
He had his chance in 2009 and dropped it. It's brutal but that's it. He will not rise to WDC level ever again. Perhaps a victor or two more and he is finished. It hurts me to agree but you are spot on. He has passed his "best performance" peak. It's too bad because I genuinely love to see him perfo...

I also loved it. Some genuine emotion and a reaching out to the fans, ( ooohhhh, God forbid that sort of thing....). I wish they could make a bit more of a display when they win but it seems they are whisked away to the podium backroom asap.

I think the RB's will be too strong so Vettel 1st, Webber 2nd and Alonso 3rd.

I rated it a 7 because I was disappointed that Alonso's wing failed and that Seb was driving away so early. I know mechanical problems like the wing problem are part of the game, but I hate it when stuff like that changes (I think, speculation I admit) the result materially. Enjoyed it though!

Re: Perhaps it's time to bring back refuelling
I'm with the nay-sayers. I remember the boring pit stop passing era and dread going back there. Also, so many accidents happened and race outcomes were changed so often due to fuel rig problems, I hate it when that sort of peripheral stuff would take out or marginalize a great driver or team.

I don't think anyone from the present grid.
I would LOVE to see Hammy, Alonso and Kimi and Seb in the same car though! If I had to pick one, I'd also side with Alonso. I'd put Hammy 2nd and Kimi 3rd but it wouldn't surprise me if Kimi could surprise us.
