felt gutted for lewis.  Why the supersoft tyres???? why not the primes like everyone else, wanted Lewis to win, wanted button and Webber to follow him up

Must admit I do like Hamilton as a driver. Can't comment on him personally as don't know him but the way he comes across sometimes is quite arrogant. Granted he has the skill to back it up but I still think he needs to curb it a bit. He was quite mature after the race though to admit it was his fault. So maybe he is growing up a bit.

I'm happy for either McLaren driver to win as I like both drivers. I'm not set against Vettel I just think a lot of what he has comes from that car. There is no denying he has skill. I don't think he is as good though unless he is leading.

that feature they did about vettel not being able to overtake was almost cringe-worthy whilst Christian Horner was trying to defend his ability. 

Alonso, Hamilton, Webber, Button, rosberg, schumacher and definitely Kobayashi are all overtakers.  Theres no way you could class vettel in that group, as the only times he has managed a proper overtake is when the redbull is performing way above that of the other teams, or his tyres are spankers, and others are old.

Vettel rarely needs to overtake

I personally don't like Hamilton, loses his temper too easily and comes across to seem very arrogant. His style of overtaking seems to be to barrel down the inside of a corner and expect the other driver to submit, which often results in a smash. Word is that many of the other F1 drivers dont like him all that much either.

Yes, he does overtake a lot but he often has to as he has put himself into a position where he needs to due to a mistake. He could learn a lot from Button who is super calm, super smooth and gets the job done (except when his wheel falls off) and doesn't resort to recklessly running other drivers off the racing line/crash to overtake.
