I thought Webber's comment about Grosjean was very witty: "Perhaps we should have one start for Grosjean and one for the rest of us" (or words to that effect)  :laugh:

Grosjean did look genuinely very sorry indeed after the race.

Seb Vettel was on form both on and off the track. He has a great sense of humour and started writing on Jake's shirt. He's a great guy and although I'm a Ferrari fan rather than Red Bull, Seb would be a very worthy world champion again.

I was particularly glad that Felipe Massa got a podium after so long and that he opened up to how badly he had felt about it for so long. Also, it has been even more difficult for him mentally having such a talented teammate as Alonso.

Did anyone see the Lee McK interview with Lewis in Saturday's Quali prog? - Lewis Hamilton  :notworthy:

And a great and popular podium for Kobayashi  :happy2:

Hahaha.....You could see Jake wasn't impressed. Well done Seb. Top guy  :notworthy:

Like u say Webber's comments were funny, and very true   :signLOL:

The Button/Kobayashi battle at the end had me eventually cheering for Kobi.  :ashamed:

Well done Kobi and Massa.


Shame about Alonso. He was quite graceful about being knocked out. (For a change)

Great Drivers, Great Sport.  :congrats:

He's funny isn't he. Comes across quite well in a planned environment, yet many claim he has no friends in F1 and it looks like he has alienated himself from yet another team "mate".

^^^^ more than likely the silly comments regard Twitter!

Thought his interview (with Lee McKenzie) was a good one and he came across really well but then Just when you think he is growing up a bit, toys go flying from the pram with the Twitter thing.

Vettel  is a funny chap  :grin:

Alonso is growing on me  :smiley:

Always Like Webber  :happy2:

Kimi, what can you say about Mr Chilled  :notworthy:

Grosjean, keeps the engineers busy  :laugh:

And Hamilton.....  :stupid:

In that bbc interview Hamilton refers to when he did his work experience at Mclaren back in 97 when he was 16??????

Surely that's a mistake?

How old is he???

I read somewhere he was 13 when first picked up by McLaren and taken under their wing in the McLaren driver development program, would make that 97' or 98'.

Lewis was only 10yo when he first met McLaren's Ron Dennis. The rest is history:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Hamilton

It's time for him to test his wings elsewhere and strive to meet new challenges.

Seems like i've missed out not watching the BBC footage of late. Managed to catch the end of the qualifying this morning, i wont spoil it but good job pole man and the race for the first corner should be interesting i hope. :smiley:
