Is Lewis welling up? Man up ffs!

[Mr Do 71]

Lewis

Was that the most exciting dry race I've ever seen?

[PeteJ]

Amazing. Not just Lewis and mark, the whole field was a joy to watch today.

Imagine what a wet race will be like.

Pretty similar to any other year, there won't be DRS and I don't think the wet Pirellis are designed the same way.

[curium]

Button should of come in 1 lap earlier. By failing to do so he cost Lewis a place to Vettel

[sandman]

Fantastic stuff from Webber. Is his future at RB in doubt or is that just internet bullshit.

[Sidewaysbob]

right i'm off to the beach. See you all later.

During the year or after this year?

[sandman]

During the year or after this year?

Not sure.

[Dudley]

Because after this year it's about 50-50. I don't believe for a second they'd drop him during the year.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the massive potential safety issue of a DRS system that opens at random!

That's because no-one seriously believes it did.

[morcs]

Hehe!

Anyone else not able to watch the Forum? Get nothing via the red button.

Edit - just manually switched to channel 301 and it works now

[PaulM]

It's working for me. Currently enjoying watching DC trying to justify the slightly mad opinion he just got from an RB mechanic

edit: If you're on Freeview you might need to retune your box, we got a message that our red button would stop working until we did a few weeks ago.

[myoozikk]

Working here for me.

You can always grab it from the BBC website too

Brundle on the red button forum:

Am I the only one who thinks that the current format of reviewing race incidents using a screen next to him doesn't work well?

They should full screen the video and he should have a 'magic marker' to highlight on the full screen video what he's talking about

[Timbuktu]

I doubt BBC would spend the kind of money have Sky does on football to have that kind of review technology.

[curium]

I doubt BBC would spend the kind of money have Sky does on football to have that kind of review technology.

But they already have this technology on Match of the Day

[exwhyzed]

It can't even cost that much either.

[merman]

Great race. Unlucky on Paul Di Resta, he was having another solid performance but was on the wrong strategy.

Exceptional driving from Mark Webber to get on the podium, and some great passing action from Lewis Hamilton to get the top spot. But Red Bull seriously need to sort out their KERS system...

[Timbuktu]

Apparently, big changes might be coming flr Williams, understandably.

[wev]

What a race!

Most years I really struggle to get up for the early races, glad I've watched Malaysia and China during the live broadcast

Watching todays GP then watching the London Marathon immediately afterwards is completely surreal.

[mexos]

The best F1 race I've ever seen? Quite possibly. What a way to see off my hangover. Brilliant!

[SeanR]

terrible start*, boring middle**, amazing end***.

* for Vettel, obv.

** not strictly true, didn't get to watch most of it, was playing with the boy, who btw recognised the ferrari from the on board camera(!)

*** for Webber, obv.

Fantastic race. Great job from Lewis, immense drive from Webber, Buttonlol. Oh, and Alonsolol too - Massa's decided to actually turn up this year.

[Pete]

Yeah what's going on with the exciting races? Loving it.

Can't wait for some rain though
