It wasnt THAT amazing winning from Pole

dont get me wrong they deserve it, and it was a good race with no mistakes but with the package they have (its so far removed from Minardi its ridiculous, yet Allen keeps on mentioning it)

Oh shush you! And enjoy the moment!

For me it was an amazing drive he was on pretty much exactly the same strategy as Kovalainen and yet whooped him.

Just proves how bad Kovi is really - most of the grid was faster than him today at one point or another

Kubica did the same amount of work, got onto the podium and has made 3rd quite secure for him in the championship... Yet nobody seems to care...

Haha, he can't stop grinning.

changing line in the braking zone is a big no no

Skeeter · 14 Sep 2008 at 14:37

Minardi/Toro Rosso is one of those teams (like Lotus) that was always under budget and always at the back of the grid and to have their first win which has taken them 25years is massive. Theyve never had a podium and now they have a win...

Vettel himself is the youngest F1 winner ever who lucked into pole, but from then on owned the race, no luck, no safety cars and no questionale decisions/driving - what have you done today?

EDIT: Also quite a lot of the team involved in Toro Rosso are ex-Minardi, apart for the massive boost in budget the skills within the team predominately remain the same...

Yeah decent result for both Hamilton and McLaren actually, certainly could have been much worse.

You really dont like him do you.

Fantastic result for Vettel and Torro Rosso, well played.

The messiah will get away with it. If Massa did that to the messiah, there will have been a huge uproar and petitions to the queen.

Minardi Yes I would agree with you - Touro Rosso is Red Bull by any other name and not the same in any way at all (apart from taking over the team) they have bucket loads of money with the best or 2nd best engine on the grid

Sorry FrankJH - just added an edit to that to qualify my response further...

He wont complain to the stewards, but Webber doesn't hold back when it comes to talking to the press though, so it will be interesting to hear what he says.
