Why on earth are they not starting this race, i hope f1 does not become like this to often, i have seen way worse conditions being raced.

LOL @ Raikkonen getting passed by Hamilton 3 times! Vettel is doing very well

 

[killadoob]

Yea that ferrari looks like a dog in the wet.

 

[thedutchman]

well done Vettel!!!!!! you deserve it

 

[killadoob]

Hamilton, normally looks so good in the rain but spun like 4 times haha.

 

[Fiekus]

Vettel you beaut!!!!

Top drive from Vettel, perhaps this season isn't going to be the 1 horse race I/we predicted at the start. It could become a season of 2 halves with Brawn dominating the 1st 5-7 races and the competition dominating the rest.

Well done to Vettel . RBR doesn't have the new difusser yet?

 

[killadoob]

Brawn has not dominated though thus far as far as i am concerned.

Redbull have been there are all the way, The race when kubica and vettel crashed vettel was matching button lap after lap, the one in the rain was just a mess so could not tell who has the advantage but brawn have not dominated f1 by any means, vettel has been right behind them. If redbull opt for the diffuser vettel will be champion.

2 wins from 3 races, 1,2 in OZ, more than double the points of RBR, that's pretty dominant so far if you ask me (what if's aside)...

If redbull opt for the diffuser vettel will be champion.

not sure they need it...

If you mean dominating on points then yes, if your talking about dominating in terms of being alot faster then no. redbull have been right up there and a only a bit of unlucky driving has seen them fall so many points behind . It did look like they would dominate until the aussie gp and i saw how the redbull's pace was right up there. remember the second race vettel was docked 10 places or whateva due to the crash, so not only did they lose points but vettel never had the chance for pole because of place dock and then they filled him heavy for quali session. So depends what your talking about but if your talking raw pace no the brawn has not been dominant .

If you mean dominating on points then yes, if your talking about dominating in terms of being alot faster then no.

Again I would have to disagree with you, fastest laps by Button in Malaysia and fastest lap by Barri today, Rosberg in OZ, in qualifying P1,P2 in OZ, Button P1 in Malaysia, twice as many points as the next closest rival. Pretty dominant IMO...

 

[killadoob]

Yea but having the fastest lap means nothing in terms of dominance because then barrichelo should have done better? He was so off the pace compared and so was button.

Dominating through good fortune Anyways we agree to disagree don't feel like argument, had a heavy weekend

Despite the spins etc, Hamilton did well in my books. At least he was fighting for position unlike some. Kimi went backwards despite two guys ahead on the grid falling off the wagon completely. Ferrari may be concentrating on next years car by the sounds of it. It may just pay off (for next year). Sure Macca got lucky but they did try. I'm really happy for Kovi - awesome job with the steady drive.

 

[killadoob]

Well with all safety cars, hamilton's 4 or 5 spins meant he kept getting back with the field, he does not have the car to challenge at the moment and you can see it. I thought massa actually had a good race and was doing very well before he broke down. Kov drove a much better race than hamilton in my opinion.
