Yes it does suck. But so does the price of sky!

The Championship is very close, Hamiltons in 6th place only 21 points off the lead. 25 points for a win now...

That was interesting listening in to vettels team radio near the end there.. something along the lines of 'This is critial Seb, your brakes are going to fail - slow down' 8O
I'm a button hater so it was disapointing to see Hamtron go out on the second to last lap (also in the name of a good championship - would have had him in the mix with the other three/four drivers near the top)

Alonso still the quiet points earner, i've got $50 on him at $3.80 for the championship (placed before the season started)


I put $20 on Vettel when he was paying $7...Yep and that was quite funny that slow down your brakes are about to fail.They even showed in car footage and he was still only lapping 2 seconds slower than the leader with cakked braKES... 8O 8O 8O ...

Brave of the TAB to put Vettel at $7!
I'd have thought he would have been pretty much the fav!

Yeah I was very tempted at $7... it went down to $2.something after the first race I think :lol:
Guess the nz tab do there own odd's? (as opposed to copying from a euro agency)
As to the price of sky... tell me about it, and I'm paying the extra $12 odd a month for the recorder box.
But it's no so bad when you have two people paying for it.

It'll matter in qualifying when the faster drivers can't get a decent run in Q1.

Should make for interesting times during the race, will be multiple lappings of the slower cars.

Just shows that while Vettel has a lot of talent, his racecraft need some work. All he had to do was hold his line an Webber would've had to yield or do the demon late braking at the next corner, instead he tried to bully Webber out of the way then turned into him to fast for Webber to react :roll:

You'd probably get away with it on the grounds of a mercy killing ;)

Probably all of it, and a lot more that isn't being said, the FIA wasn't know as "Ferrari International Assistance" without good reason ;)

I haven't seen the replays yet, but from the articles I read it does seem as if there was too much take and not enough give....


mercy killing..... :lol: true!

Yip was 100% Vettels fault on that one. Was interesting seeing Webber in the press conference, not usually one to hold back his feelings, but seemed to be picking his words very carefuly.

Was a pretty good race overall, especially watching the McLarens go wheel to wheel not long after the Red bull incident, would have been classic if they had taken each other as well.

I was so guttered when i was watching last night, If Vettel had jsut held his line and not moved Mark would of had to give him the postion as he had the inside line and was well ahead, but stupid head had to move across

Was stoked that Webber didn't win three in a row

Well that was a pretty choice race! Lots of action and webber made a big mistake by not coming into change tires sooner. He could have won imo. (Not that I want him to RBR is teh gehy)

Yes indeed, was definately one of the more interesting to watch races this season, great to see so many in the hunt for the championship still.
Not so sure on my tab season bet, but if Ferrari's upgrades come good there is definately still hope for Alonso to take it out :)
