Congrats to Nico, but I really was going for shumi. Damn pit stop.

well...MY mom says your entire post is stupid.

After he got a taste of being the preferred driver/having the best car, he never looked back again. Now he's just going to turn into a prima donna and bitch and moan about "needing" a better car while doing the grown up thing and flipping middle fingers while driving. His momma Mrs. Horner will be right behind him kissing ass as well.

Lol. we are talking about Vettel right? cause it sounds like you just described Hamilton.

and at least Vettel worked for it, unlike a certain Mclaren pre-madonna.

Awesome race! Man, that early moment wheel to wheel action between Kimi and Mark was epic! Did not even touch, SKILLS!

Too bad for Kimi, he was doing so good but tires have had enough ... :/

Good job for Nico and Grosjean, awesome to see him defend the position against the Maldonado schmuck lol

Sucks for Michael, what a lame mistake in the pits.

Good work Mark as well.

Don't want to fan a fire but Hamilton did work for it, just all the way before he even got to F1. If he'd impressed Ron Dennis enough to be taken on as a kid, by pretty well winning all the junior formulae he raced in, then I'd say he earned his spot at McLaren. I'm just happy he didn't race for Ferrari or RBR. lol

Love the comment by MAarko,,, In summary Seb needs a dominant car to win,,,,if I were vettel I might find that comment a little offensive. I hope rb doesnt go through the whole of the season bitching and moaning.

I see what you mean, and I took that into account. But all these drivers, love em' or hate em, had to work their way up through various Jr. Series and be noticed.

Once in F1 Vettle went from a test driver, to stand in (youngest to score points), to Red bull Jr. (1st and only wins to date for ToroRoso in a non-competitive car) to Redbull.

Hamilton got plopped into a very competitive Mclaren with Fernando Alonso setting up the car for him most of 2007. Had a very competitive car and won in 2008 and then 2009 on we got to see how little he actually tried to develop the car. Just blamed the team a lot.

I mean, they are all Amazing drivers, and I love arguing with other fans about stuff like this. But i personally have a hard time rooting for someone like Lewis. If Vettle becomes a lazy driver after having it all then ill group in in with Hamilton in a heart beat.

That's why I love Fernando so much, he always pushes as hard as he can and turns shit cars into gold... Eventually. haha

Sooo glad this race will be showing live at a decent time... Just hoping that mclaren screws things up and the competition gets tighter... Ten or fifteen years ago I would have never believed I would be rooting for schufacher!

damn i missed qualifying for Bahrain. was it any good? seems like the RBR guys are making a comeback.

[GillesBigCowboy]

The old dreamers think that Ross and schufur strategized to have more fresh rubber than anyone.

[pharow]

Tomorrows race should be a good one. It looks like all of the teams are getting better. I can't wait to sit and watch it.

I have a hard time believing they would want one extra set of softs to start that low down the grid.

The track just came in more than expected in Q1 and they were hung out to dry.

My thoughts exactly....I am tired of getting up at 2:30 and 3:00am to watch F1! And, I find myself rooting for Michael too although I was not a huge fan back when he was winning all the time. He "does" look 100% thrilled when he's on the podium though no matter how many races he wins! I also find myself rooting for Kimi. I miss Robert Kubica...hope he is healing up well for a return next year!

When I think of lotus team last win,...

[Hick]

I wonder if Rosberg will get any penalties for those moves? The team had to have told him he was under investigation the first time, which should be enough to make him stop. To do it two more times should be enough for a penalty IMO.

Another great race. That Renault looks good, I've been telling people that Kimi will win the championship, maybe my wishes will come true.

[PReta]

it was ridiculous how much that RBR has improved. and hate to see all the Mercedes engines just fall behind. and my boy hamilton got screwed. damn rear left wheel nut.
