dang webber was sooo close!!!

Indeed he was.....Webber had a great quali session. My concern is that he won't do quite as well in the race. MW is a good driver - not a great driver - and has a more consistent record of being a one-lap wonder than a threat with the front-runners. I suspect he's running light on fuel which got him this result. Nevertheless, RedBull is looking quick this weekend and I would expect Vettel (at least) to be a thorn in Jensen's backside throughout the race if he stays out of trouble.

Looking at those fuel loads, I would not be shocked to see Jarno, or one of those guys at 8-11 on the podium if they play the tire game right. Maybe even Massa.

Massa was in a good spot till the damn car let him down... again!

Sutil was on his way to place very well. I was waiting for Kimi to come out of no where and rear end him, but he did himself in before then.

Crazy race... part of me wanted to see Vettel drop out so Webber could of won. Maybe next time.

(Not taking a dig at you, just raising a general point)
I think Webber is a very underrated driver. We all know his qualifying is a strongpoint, but he's also quick in the wet, and he's rarely ever had a race where we've really seen his best race pace because he's either been stuck behind someone a bit slower, or more often his car has let him down and not made the finish. Sure he has a bad race on the odd occasion, but I'd say he's the unluckiest driver on the grid at the moment. He's been leading, or in the position to take the lead quite a few times and his car has failed on him, doesn't seem to happen as often when he's midfield though...

Not to mention his bad luck when he chose to go to Williams instead of Renault in 2005 (the year Williams went south and Renault Won the titles).

Just my opinion though.

I'm going to start flying out and personally slapping the fuck out of every one of you that posts race results on your Facebook status. I avoid this thread like the plague until after a race, but Facebook is one of the pages that opens when I start Firefox. Fuck you guys in the assholes.

We can be FB friends pls?

[Jand3rson]

I already tried looking up Ray Smoodiver, no results.

Of course not, I just wanted to see if you were that crazy.

Awesome race! Glad to see my two favorite drivers 1-2.

Can't wait to see RBRs pace once Newey gets the double decker diffuser.

I enjoyed the race starting at 7pm - perfect for a TV Dinner :D

[oldskool3]

Good race. Vettel is second favourite driver after Kubica so I'm definetly happy to see him take the podium. At the same time, part of me wanted Webber to take it. Especially after the injury he sustained and his lack of training becuase of it.

On a side note Kubica's performance this year is becoming depressing. I don't think I can take another GP without him scoring any points.

[elsabor67]

That race was completely nuts. Well deserved for Toro Rosso. Kubica needs to stop trying to Horsescrew other cars and race like his contract depends on it.
