Greenpeace couldn't have failed any more than they did, the only time they got on TV was during the Brundle gridwalk and it wasn't even their banner, FOM did a fantastic job of completely ignoring them, and well done to them for it.

Love it, utter failure of a protest.
Now if only other people responded the same.

So many saves by the crowd as well.

I wish Red Bull would stop winning. They are killing F1 worse than the MSc years :-/

Yea glad to see the didn't manage to do what they set out to.

Some pics of them trying to get onto the podium, glad they didn't make it. They had a banner on that grandstand but FOM rightly didn't show it.

Killing it? Most of the top teams go through spells of success and dominate for a while, Red Bull are no different to the teams before them. Your anger should be taken out on the people that run the sport and some of the ridiculous rules and regulations.

It's just really boring nowadays. The fact this topic only 6 pages long after the race when it's usually double just sums it up. No hype anymore, on OcUK at least

Hamilton clearly said that he deliberately let Alonso through so he would get DRS, and then was shocked that he still wasn't faster in a straight line. Obviously none of the broadcasters picked this up.

No f1 forum?

Yeah there is one it's on the bbc website now, not sure why they didn't advertise it at the end of the show like they usually do!

I just replayed it and Alonso said he did the same to Nico too.

Well this is what was happening behind the podium.

Jennie Gow, 5 Live F1 reporter just tweeted this.

Protestors tried to get onto the podium - apparently a grid girl wrestled one of them to the floor

What was all the booing, weird noise, and microphone interference during the podium? :confused:

Looks that way, they've got hockey on the red button.

Daft the BBC got rid of the multiple red button streams.

Ted is fantastic, interesting stuff.

Eg. Lotus lengthening their wheel base by tweaking suspension positioning for next race.

Cavallino · 25 Aug 2013 at 15:53

Ted is just quality on his notebook.
"oh look its <x>, oh look theres <y>"

Gotta love Ted

bit of a boring race for spa.

Spa usually is unless the weather is changeable. It rarely throws up a good race if it's dry. Great track but rarely a great race.
