I wish I had a line of women like that every time I went up some stairs.

Well played Webber.

And DC agreed saying 'Martin was always very gentle on the throttle', insinuating he was a crap driver probably.

Bit of manager/client argy bargy there I think.

That may well be an steward investigation for Vettel after the race because of that.

Exactly what I thought. There didn't seem to be any obvious damage but if the stewards think Vettel forced Sutil out of the way for the pass surely that's a grid penalty at the next race? Or can they add a few seconds to Vettel's race time?

"Not bad for a number 2 driver" he said hahahaha

I wonder if Webber is a bit like James Hunt at McLaren. McLaren worked out that Hunt was scintillatingly fast if they wound him up and put him in a mood. They'd get the tyres on late before qually or something and he'd eff and blind in the helmet but get on pole.

Red Bull in giving Vettel Webber's front wing practically handed Webber the motivation he needed to win the race doing that.

McLaren's race pace seems to be something else, Hamilton finished right behind Webber.

Well Webber let an 8 second lead intentionally go at the end. SCs were the only reason it was 8s at the time.

webber should have asked for vettels engineer to be with him just to rub it in more

lol yeah destroyed, same points in team where he was the golden boy.

Same points as a rookie with all the dirty political tricks Alonso pulled.

Hamilton just drove faster and Alonso couldn't cope with it.

I have the feeling that if Vettel tried to stick one on Webber for messing up his start he'd just fall on his arse trying.

Memphis · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:36

Best result that could have been hoped for really.

Cracking drive from Webber. The Red Bull car is just utterly awesome.

Fantastic drive from Hamilton, Rosberg and Button.

I still feel the penalty for Alonso was very harsh, but he should have just given the place back to Kubica in the first place.

Sounds like happy families at red bull haha

Apart from winning it the race couldn't have gone better for mclaren what a result

MagicBoy · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:37

Just though, Webber is ahead on points now. Does that mean he can utilise all Vettel's parts for the next race?

dannyjo22 · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:37

I would love Webber to take the title now, more than I'd like a Mclaren driver. It would be a nice finger up at the way Red Bull have tried to undermine him all year.

Danthus · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:37

RBR have mad a rod for their own back now.

Masterdog · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:37

Still think this is completely the wrong anthem.

Good point, Button did well too though 14th to 4th.

The best parts now go to the driver on the least points.

Doesn't pull a finger upto RBR at all. They'd be more than happy with this scenario I imagine.

Nico Rosberg shows that Mercedes GP are capable of podium finish, and more proof that Schumacher should walk away from F1 for good.

This being the new found "parity" policy, to be announced tonight...

Danthus · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:40

To be fair I don't have a problem with Vettel, but it is clear to see he is treated favourably.

Next race in Germany.

Begbie · 11 Jul 2010 at 14:41

Vettel done awesome there, and absolutely deserved to win that race, feel so bad for him that he got that puncture - he would have been 1st if it wasn't for that.
