Boring race, dull result - tennis time.

Well I enjoyed that race. Overtaking, strategy, Perez interview. What's not to like(other than DRS)

Mike_P · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:30

yet people keep repeating (EJ especially) that mclaren have just about the best car when (melbourne aside) there's little to no evidence to support this, hell they werent even the fastest car in canada!

Well done Webber, a good drive.

But I must say, given the Friday and Saturday we had, I do feel utterly robbed by the fact we had a dry race

And what the hell is going on with McLaren. They threw away the car advantage they had at the start of the season, and are now just going backwards in both car development and strategy. Its pathetic!

Glaucus · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:31

What choice did they have?
They where graining the soft tyres up.

Hamilton needs to ditch Mclaren as soon as possible. What were they thinking with those tactics?

2 sauber mechanics have been taken to the medical centre, fingers crossed they are ok.

Very much agree on this! Good dry race with no real silly safety car stuff.

Williams spokesperson : Pastor Maldanado can account for his movement
Pastor Maldanado : I'm a very stupid driver.

Is the blue paintwork of webbers car different/brighter shade than normal? Or has it always been like that?

pingwing · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:36

So £ridiculous for a ticket and you get told to go home before the end of the race. Boo!

Bring on the massive rear tyres and bark of the DFVs...

Special paintjob this weekend. It's made from photo's of people faces. All for the Wings for Life charity. Something like €1million raised through it.

Good race. Shame it wasn't mildly moist though
