amazing f1 to watch for a long time..Hamilton drove a excellent race but Weber was just brilliant today

[Janner_Sy]

awesome race today.  P!ssed myself at button in the wrong pits, and hamilton got one over on him in that overtake.  Cringeworthy moment waiting for contact between them

Anyone notice Vettel wasnt smiling on the podium, and then Webber in the press conference saying well done to lewis for knocking vettel off the podium. he wasnt happy there either 

best race in a long time, and i thought last weeks was excellent as well

....I think you must have been watching an old programme. Vettel looked happy throughout, including his interview with Lee. I particularly noticed how gracious Vettel was in 'defeat'. Webber's snide comment was typical.

Great race though  

P.S.- Did you watch the early live prog or the highlights/shorter replay?

[Janner_Sy]

nope watched it live.  his smile looked fake on the podium to me.  You can tell when hes genuine because he's ear to ear when he smiles.

I was rooting for webber to catch vettel.  All he needed was another 2 laps i think.  that would have been come back of the century there

....Funny, I was rooting for Webber not to make it onto the podium at all

Me too for some reason, I love the McLarens and well done Hamilton 

[Janner_Sy]

i didnt want webber to beat Button, but i wanted Vettel to be pipped by webber

[RedRobin]

.
I always want Vettel to beat Webber.

[Janner_Sy]

Supporting zee german over the colonial brit/oz is disgraceful, you should be ashamed of yourself RR

[Jack Rabbit]

DRS looking as though it's to be banned for Monaco 

[Janner_Sy]

is it because it is a street circuit?  might be to dangerous with the barriers so close.  Impossible to overtake there anyway

[GTIjames]

Should be a good one this weekend - turkey which is one of my fav tracks, caught a bit of practice with button setting the pace, quali is on bbc2 or hd this weekend just in case any of you have recorders set

On a side note im not happy about these sky take over rumours though, i cant stand the company and hold them responsible for the state of football and cricket today, lets hope they dont get there filthy mits on F1

[RobH]

Well Redbull have this in the bag pretty much. Looking forward to watching kobiyashi overtaking about 15 cars and causing some trouble

Dont fancy Mclarens chances today, mercedes are starting to look strong now aswell.

[RobH]

I seriously hope mclaren and ferrari get there acts together and challenge redbull properly. Imo the only drivers that can beat vettel is Alsonso and Hamilton and both have inferior cars, it is all getting quite boring at the front and far to easy for vettel

Good race over than that and good to see Mclaren having a go at each other.

Also shumacher was terrible today what is was he doing!

[rich83]

... getting boring already.
