not sure but as they said pre race, mclaren got 10th of second advantage for a mere $10,000 fine instead of $250,000 development costs for that amount of advantage. Good tactics me thinks....

I predict that Lewis will win... Button second... Alonso third!

I also predict that MS will drive like he's in a dodgem!

Good race.

Michael Scumi would be a good candidate for the specsavers brand. Either that or he needs extra cockpit room for a Labrador.





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Schuey should either quit or get his super licence pulled, not only up to his old dirty driving tricks, he showed nothing like the skill of the young Rosberg. Chandhok would be the guy to hire.

Alonso drove a great race, Ferrari should have put Massa out to grass not given him a new contract, I would love to see Kubica or Buemi get his seat.

Nice to see Norbert congratulating is old mates at McLaren.

Big question is was Mark Webber's gearbox knobbled ?

X2 I cartainly dont think he should carry on racing next year. He has had one 'good' race since his return (Turkey) and has sucked in all the others.

only race I haven't enjoyed this year was the bore of a 1st race.

Anyone else think the bland desert landscape sent everyone into a trance..I know I fell asleep

i suspect it looked worse to us than it did to the drivers. They are thinking fast and have passed that point many times in the race, know braking and turning points, and he just made a snap decision to pass him as he braked. The proof is, he didnt come anywhere near crashing into him in racing terms.

A few things struck me while getting sunburnt, watching from the hairpin:

1. Schumacher is a good driver, and is very smooth - both braking, and when he gets on the power. He was nearly run into several times and was quick enough to get out of the way.
2. Alonso drove a great race and deserved a podium.
3. Massa is a menace, and shouldn't be out there. He doesn't have it anymore. I know he's trying to wring a good race from an underperforming car, but he tries too hard, and slides around more than the drifting crowd. He brakes late, and just boots it, even if he isn't pointing in the right direction. He always looks nervous. I wouldn't have resigned him!
4. Liuzzi was very consistent and held his own. He also did a lot of laps in practice.
5. Button was surprising. Extremely patient, and never looked out of control. I was surprised when he podiumed. He just never looked in a hurry.
6. Hamilton deserved the win and his driving indicated how much he wanted it. Vettel pushed hard, but obviously came up short.
7. They all drive very well in traffic, unlike some of the F1600 guys -especially Chandok, who seemed very aware of things around him, unlike some newcomers.

OK, more than a couple, but impressive driving, not just the cars. The historic GP cars were good too, and some were the same cars I saw the last GP I attended in 1982!
