haha, Mark knows these were his scraps.

[Dudley]

haha, Mark knows these were his scraps.

He's certainly no fool. He also knows Button and Alonso finishing means it doesn't matter.

[Bruciebabie]

Vettel quicker than Button on both the last 2 laps...

You can tell it is a facade by Webber's total lack of enthusiasm at "winning".

[mexos]

Did feel a bit like Mansell gifting Patrese a win.

[marsh]

[The Bag]

Good drive from Sutil there

[Sidewaysbob]

For a man thats just won the race and got a fastest lap he doesn't look all that happy does he

[Dudley]

Pretty much.

[dayte]

Wahey, nice one Felipe

[wev]

Almost hit the wall in the process Massalol

[Dudley]

Rubens is wishing he'd thought of that.

[myoozikk]

Webber is no fool.

[Dudley]

haha, and the Red Bull "Strategist" goes up.

If this isn't a fix then they're playing up to it.

[Dudley]

At least it's a decent anthem.

[dayte]

You can have an eye out with that trophy

[mexos]

Rubens is wishing he'd thought of that.

Nah, he wouldn't want to do that. Because he doesn't want this to be goodbye. And that's what you'd do if it was your last race.

[mexos]

I bet he ends up at Caterham.

[Sidewaysbob]

Barrichello or Trulli .... tough call

[Dudley]

To be honest, Caterham have an experienced driver, they'd be better looking at a Robert Wickens or similar.

EDIT : To replace Trulli of course.

[Dudley]

"It would have been nice to race Sebastian"

You were nowhere near him Mark, he'd checked out.

[Bruciebabie]

Williams, 5 constructors points for the whole season!

[Sidewaysbob]

hmm not good really. even with Pasters money.

[Dudley]

And even under the "top 8" system that would have been 0.

[dayte]

lol, Paul just can't pronounce Kobayoshi correctly

[Dudley]

^^^ Not a good time to misspell it there

Interesting how the top 10 system has changed F1 actually. Under the not-that-old top 6 system, the 42-41 result between Sauber and Toro Rosso would not have happened at all.

In fact, Kobe's 5th at Monaco would have been the only points for either team all year, which itself would actually have been enough to beat 57 point Force India on countback as that team would only have 2 6ths, one for each driver.

And 72 point Renault, after taking 2 podiums in the first 2 races would only have scored once again all season, in Canada.

EDIT : Actually I'm wrong, it would have been even more dramatic, Sutil's 6th in this race would have leapfrogged Sauber in the championship.

[dayte]

Fuck off Sky

[Sidewaysbob]

Kasabian ??

[ryodi]

I was hoping for Nobody Does It Better

[SMD]

Fuck off Sky, just fuck off.

[Sidewaysbob]

I'd rather see the racing and not the band.
