Eh? First race in a long time with a lot of action and overtaking.

I purely meant up front with the Mercs racing into the distance. It's a pity Max and Ricciardo had to get penalties, and didn't start up front

Ferrari fan?

But most of the entertainment was provided by Ferrari - I loved that pass that Bottas made on Raikkonen and Ricciardo overtake of Raikkonen was masterclass - Ok most of the entertainment was provided by Raikkonen :)

I agree, but many Ferrari fans are sulking because the SF cars were pretty uncompetitive this weekend so it suddenly became a terrible race ;).
 
This race was shades of last year. Leaders romping off into the distance unchallenged while the midfield provided all the action.
 
Yeah, I enjoyed it, thought it was a good race. First 8 laps or so, were great. Was good to see the Redbulls cutting through the field. Max making a lot of friends in the process... :p

Daniel drove brilliantly today, best drive of the season for him so far...

The Italian butthurt at the post race interviews was particularly entertaining!! :crylaugh:

Good to see Kit too, so glad he isn't dead... :p

Hamilton couldn't resist a little dig (with a cheeky little grin) at the booing though :p

"Mercedes power is definitely better than Ferrari power" :crylaugh:
 
Wasn't it the same fans that booed Vettel when he was winning every race with Red Bull?
 
Vettel's little consolation engagement with the crowd was cute :p
 
Didn't really see the race, unannounced visitor :mad:, just looked with half an eye.

Well done Lewis.

Not much else happened.

Awesome considering its a close championship! Ferrari got a proper hiding yesterday though, 30+ seconds behind the winner is just plain embarrassing

Even more galling for them when we hear that the Mercs turned the engines down with plenty laps still to go.

Sheesh... you really did miss it then lol.
Ricciardo from 16th to 4th and almost on the podium. That was the highlight for me. Max playing bumper cars is always entertaining too.

That WON'T be happening at Singapore... Hamilton will need luck to be in the lead after that race. IMO it's going to be a race between the Bulls and the Scuderia.

Yep, high downforce tracks, Merc will be in damage limitation.
 
Watched the race and Ferrari was abysmal all weekend. Crap qualifiying, crap in race.

Riccardio is firmly establishing himself as a quality driver - He's been on the money so many times this season. He just needs a competitive engine and he'll win a WC IMO.
