    Button doing well on the one set of tyres

    I look forward to seeing how he does next year if the tyres aren't as long-lasting.

    I should be an F1 tactician. :pac: If Torro Rosso had pitted Buemi a while ago then Rosberg would be further up the road from Alonso than he is.

    Looking good for Vettel at this stage

    reliability in these last 15 laps could change things though

    Kubica 1.5 faster than Alonso last time around. Vettel just needs to turn the revs down and coast.

    **** it anyway, this is almost as bad as 2008. :(

    Looks like Ferrari have thrown it all away with one very bad call.

    Red Bull threw them a mangy bit of bait and Ferrari went for it. They knew Ferrari were looking to defend from Webber and it seems that's all they had their eyes on, when a glance at the timing screens showed that they were throwing Webber to the wolves and into a load of traffic.

    Very disappointed with Webber, no where near Alonso. Should be putting pressure on him for Vettel's sake at least.

    Vettel radio problem, maybe he's still afraid of a team order

    pity for Webbers season to end with no fight, he'll be praying the other two have problems

    Ferrari will expect Alonso to go all out in the last few laps

    There's been plenty this year, and when Alonso went out he was behind someone with way more laps on their tyres. The team's fault for putting him there and a poor performance for him not to pass.
    Also Kubica will be out ahead of him on lovely fresh soft tyres, so no chance of getting near him.

    It seemed a good idea at the time, they should have just sent Massa, but the sticky wheel ruined that idea.
    Alonso has to go banzai now, no holds barred.

    I'd smash some **** up to be perfectly honest.

    It's spelled "Piquet" and I don't see how he could do that.

    Times like these I wish I'd the red button, sounds like Davidson is talking a lot more sense than the TV commentators.

    Might be one or two last ditch manouvers

    Davidson had said before the race there was no way Alonso would find himself outside forth place at the end

    You know, I'm kind of hoping Alonso pulls something out now, because I can't stand the thought of Vettel winning...it'll be salt in Webber's wound, and Red Bull will seem justified in their preferential treatment of Vettel.

    If Vettel wins this particular race will it be the first Pole he's converted to a win?

    He mustn't have accounted for the gambling debts of whoever made that retarded pitstop call.


    I'm not going to be able to watch aftermath of this. I could watch it when Hamilton won even after busting my hand off a wall but I didn't realise how much I "dislike" Vettel and Red Bull until now.

    They would be justified as Vettel is the better driver, Webber has folded at the final hour.

    Webber should know well enough it was down to him to perform

    if redbull had switched the drivers last week they could have been in a bit of trouble now

    Did it in Valencia and Japan this year, dunno about last year but he did it in Italy in 2008 as well.

    At the final hour, yeah. Not at the rest of the hours. Webber was their best, most reliable driver for the majority of the season. It's not like they just started favouring Vettel when Webber started to disappoint. They were favouring him when Webber was doing better.
