Vettel is winning chamipoinship again yay

He has been most of the short season so far. I believe he will make it #4 this year. I know most of you guys don't like him, but I'm hoping for a close battle between Seb and Kimi.

I lost my shit when perez retired, he was driving way to aggressive, aggressive is good but you gotta finish the race!

I hate Perez now just because he knocked Kimi back haha. Used to like that guy but you're right; he was too aggressive!

[mcr_driver]

Recklessness is only rewarded with the luck of the devil and the stupidity to not know the difference. Sutil was the only guy there with the above combination and it shows with everyone else crashing instead of him...

I like this... Kobayashi was a talented driver imagine him replacing Massa?

[Hick]

Perez had two failed passes on Kimi before they made contact. And one failed on Alonso. I think Alonso giving the position back was BS. He was not racing clean, IMO. However, on a track with little to no passing zones, I have to give him credit for having 'large attachments'.

I don't know what Pastor was thinking either. Who passes on the outside of Tabac?

Early in the race Hami almost pulled off a pass on Webber into Rascasse that would have been bad ass. I don't like Hami but that was almost the pass of the year.

What I've read is that Pirelli asked the FIA about conducting a test using a current car. That was fine so long as all teams had the same opportunity. After that, the FIA heard nothing else about it and Pirelli went directly to Mercedes and set up the test. If that is the case then it doesn't seem kosher to me.

Overall I thought it was a great race, happy with the results, well done to Nico, Seb grew his point lead and Sutil did a great job.

^I thought perez drove fine until the KR incident which was terrible judgement. My opinion is that button is just pissed because perez isnt respecting him the way jb feels he should.

Sutil drove a great race and made some very good clean passes. Did LH slow down the field for rosberg at the first sc on purpose? It sure looked that way. Got to think the kid is going to make it 4 championships in a row after that race... He just always find a way to gap the points... Even in a race where he wasnt super strong he stretches his lead... I dont like him, but gotta admire the results. Even when he doesnt win he is always up in the points so as to minimize the damage.

I read a quote by brawn saying the fia cleared them to run the tire test before it was conducted and pirreli set up a blind test so merc did not know what tires they were running.... time will tell, but yeah I'd be miffed if I were their competition.

[mcr_driver]

Also what do you guys thinking of the tire testing done by mercedes and ferrari? Mercedes got an extra 1,000KM's worth of testing with pirelli tires, supposedly ferrari got similar treatment.

Really bummed about Raikkonen being hit by grosjean forcing him out of good point contention.

Yeah, no kidding. Perez needs a stronger "CALM THE waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles DOWN" handed down to him to get him to stop trying shit like that. That's just bad driving.
