Vettel is a douche nozzle for what he did to webber today. Even though in the long run vettel will need the points more than webber in the championship. Hamilton was a standup guy admitting niko could have passed him. I was never a huge fan of his but that was a cool thing to do. He knew he didnt earn that spot.
I hate team orders, but I guess when there are millions on the line...
massa is getting his groove back.
Could be a good year.

I love the drama. Nico was pissed. Webber was pissed. Was a great race. Vettal gave the whole team a giant 'fuck you youre not telling me what to do'. What they gonna do fire him?

i totally disagree.. if weber was faster then vettel never would have gotten around him... weber even tried the old schumacher chop on seb and he still got by.... webers nothing but a never was and never will be, he blows... this is his swan song.. i met him at a dinner part in 03 in montreal...

uhhm.. i'm hoping hamiltons car blows up on the first lap, or kimi takes him out on the first corner, either way, i don't really care which way it happens..
like to see the red cars come to the front.. massa was fast in all of qualy.. i hate when they all sit in the garages during `q3.. they need to change the rules imvho, give em tires just to qualy on, if they don't use them, give me back at the end of q3... at least that way you'd see some cars out on the track and not all of them waiting for 2 minutes left in the session..

Hammy in pole position.... Where has Vettel been in qualifying this year? Hamilton might have a chance if he can figure out who he pits with... Lol Mercedes do seem to have a decent car.
Whats up with Mclaren? They are there but not looking very competitive.
It's all on Ferrari to beat Red Bull. I don't see other teams being able to do it..

Kimi is my pick. He is bringing a B team up to A status. I genuinely hope he wins the drivers championship.

What did Ricky Bobby say ? Something about if you dont win, you are a loser. These guys are competitors let em race. I hate team orders. Been dying for F1. 3 weeks is too long between races

the mclarens are no where this year because they're in the same boat ferrari was last year going with that new pull rod front suspension.. one thing i'll say about mclaren though is that they always seem to develop they're cars at a faster rate than all of the other cars imo.. i'd bet money they'll be winning races later in the season once they get the bugs figured out a bit..

vettel was no where in qualy bcuz he went out on the harder tires.. he didn't even really put in one hot lap either, he went off at that one turn and seemed to be way off of the pace before that even.. i'll bet the race comes to him though when the soft pirelli's go off after about 3 laps... what a fucking joke those tires are this year.. you see the wear they had after like 6 laps in practice? chunks of tire flying off the cars

I wish I could see actual racing within the Ferrari team. Alonso has proven himself to be a champion, but more intriguingly, Massa has always 'supported' his team principal. I think he has much more skill than he allows us to see.... Seeing him and Alonso scrap in two brilliant red cars would be so worth it, but I think Ferrari is a bit... team order oriented.

lol you can literally see fistfuls worth of rubber flying off... What a joke. They won't keep that compound long, I hope, it's not worth using them, you're back in the pits in 3-5 laps..

yeah, i miss the tire wars tbh.. back in the day when one weekend michilen would get it right and the next bridgestone.. fro week to week you'd not be sure who would have the better tires...

and yeah, i think the tires are even worse this year than they were last year, didn't think that was even possible, hate to see what' gonna go down next year... :(

and i've always liked massa since he was schumi's team mate... he was always pretty quick back then.. his accident messed with is head a bit and his speed suffered, can't say i really blame him though, but he seems to be back on form this year and the end of last season.. if he would of managed to beat alonso again in qualy last night, it would have been the first time a team mate had ever beaten alonso five races on the trot..

Can't find anything on the new Ron Howard movie but I did see yesterday tha Keanu Reeves was supposed to be Spike in a live action Cowboy Bebop... Doesn't look like its going to happen anymore, but hw awesome would that have been...

I think Massa has to fight for his spot this year, we will see him challenge Alonso a lot more. I like his style better than the Saniard anyway, I'd like to see him beat Nando in points.
