Nice of marussia to get some screen time

I think if Alonso wanted to choose a winner for todays race from the top runners, I think he would have picked Button... if it finishes like this... Vettel will be 24 points behind...

SHUT UP

You know what happens when people say things like that!

Yup.

Looks like a nice and solid 2nd place for Vettel.

Rosberg back out spanking the bejesus out of his tyres to get a fastest lap!

Schumacher radioed in - lost 6th gear.

So, suspect engine, kers battery failure and now a duff gearbox...

That Merc is so fast on the straights.

because its got no downforce at all and has seen a single upgrade in about 7 races (lotus monkey seat) :rolleyes:

(check how much time they lose in the med/long sweeping corners)

from what was around the 3rd fastest car to whats probably around the 7th fastest now :mad:

bit of a dull race apart from the start.

Dull race and a gift for Vettel. I said in the halfway prediction thread Alonso will not win this title. Unless it rains at every circuit

It was a bit. Great drive from JB though, in a class of his own this weekend.

It's just Mercedes treating him like the no2 he is. Giving him all the slightly worse or slightly broken bits, just like RBR do with Webber.

Well done Jenson, nice to have you back

Vettel driver of the day for me.

Glaucus · 2 Sep 2012 at 14:34

Dull race, some off you should just give up and find a new sport.
There was a huge amount going on from over takes to incidents throughout the field. Other than p1.

Great win just ruled the race and qaulfying.
