****** FORMULA 1 THREAD ******

.
- I feel that the Hamilton-Webber incident was purely a racing incident and that Lewis was right not to jump to conclusions when interviewed before he saw film footage.

- I sooo wanted Vettel to beat Alonso in spite of being a Ferrari fan. I much prefer Vettel to Webber and don't want Webber to win the championship in spite of his excellent drive today.

- Kubica was brilliant.

- Haikki was brave and considerate and deserves praise for his actions re the fire.

- Good and smooth as Jenson is, he just doesn't have that exciting edge which Lewis has.

Think Martin Brundle summed it up nicely about alonso, not easy for every1 to love, but got to admire him.

He never put a foot wrong all wknd.

gotta echo that the passes Kubica was makin at the end of the race, put him right up there with the best drivers on the grid, and given the right car, could challenge for a title imo.

Lookin forward to the next few races, its not been this excitin in a while.

i hate alonso, and don't admire anything about him. Unlucky for lewis. Is it just me, or is Jenson the most boring driver in the world ever!!

I wouldn't mind going shotgun with him

can the mods make a sticky "alonso hatred thread"

Lewis Hamilton must be Mr Unlucky. First he crashes then he gets a 5 place grid drop for changing gearbox only for his new box to lose 3rd Gear.

Good race by Vettel and Webber.

Not mathmatically impossible for Lewis & Jenson but I think that the top 3 order at the moment is how it will finish.

I would still love to see Lewis win it, but would not be too dissapointed to see Webber with the title, though cannot see him at Red Bull next year, even though they have helped him to the title.

Good race today, lots of smashes, and some of the most random commentary glitches. What happened to Jake humphries though over the weekend?

He is commentating at the Commonwealth Games so Lee Mckenzie is filling his spot on F1 until he gets back.
