WOOOOOOO!

Well as good as that was for Hamilton, on the team front, we went from McLaren 2 & 3 (33pts) on the grid, with Red Bull 1 & 18 (25pts), to McLaren 1 & 2 (43pts) and Red Bull 3 & 17 (15pts) after lap 1, to McLaren 1 & 4 (37pts) and Red Bull 2 & 3 (33pts) at the end of the race.

I suspect Red Bull will be happier with their team performance, McLaren could have had a 1-2 out of that.

Hell of a drive from Webber.

Garido · 17 Apr 2011 at 09:49

I'm really happy for Webber. Probably not a popular driver especially in Europe but he's so very blunt, honest and very determined. Drove the tyres off that car.

A proper national anthem. Nice.

You must be joking?
God save the queen is the most boring, un inspiring, yawn-fest of an anthem in the world, ever, bar none

The team screwed up, can't blame him. 2nd isn't too bad though, especially considering the McLarens are taking points away from each other fighting it out.

I wonder if Vettel frazzled his microphone with his ghetto duct tape mods to his water tube?

It's not great, but it's better than what some people want it to be - Jerusalem. Ugh.

I'd rather have Land of Hope and Glory - but I love the Proms.

That is the worlds ugliest trophy

Looks like a crockery pot.

Great race, although shame it all has to come down to DRS and tyres (good to see that DRS isn't necessarily an automatic pass). Great drive by Hamilton and Webber - good to see RBR screwing up with reliability and strategy.

DRS is great. It basically enables cars 0.5s/lap faster a chance to get past, and gives cars 0-0.5s/lap faster a chance to get along side. It's just the way it should be.
