Where is Eddie by the way?

he never comes to china so he must not be allowed in for some reason , maybe he tried to smuggle in a few KG's of bad fashion during his jordan years

Massa thinks that Vettel dominated the race? No one dominated the race today.

Jarno quickest race lap quicker than fernando and only 7 tenths down on Vettal, what's all that about. Need to sort out qualifying

Wow.

As good as Hamiltons passing was today I think Alonsos on MS was better, as the straightline speed of MS's car was stunning and Alonso went round the outside.

As for Hamiltons move on JB, all drivers should leave the gap and not be able to move over on another car when they get a nose in. I imagine if the roles where reversed Hamilton might have run that much tighter.

Coulthard has just said he wasn't aware of the rule regarding the opening laps.

That's cause there isn't one. As usual, FIA likes to make up new rules to justify some dodgy decision.

Really good interview there from Lewis. I hope that really kick starts Mclaren.

Wow.

Presumably that lap was set near the end of the race with the benefit of low fuel and new tyres, at a point when Alonso and Vettel were nursing old tyres. And it was still three seconds slower than Webber's fastest lap!

Really good race today, great.

One of the best ive seen in a long while

Helmut Marko -

Seb did a great job with all the problems he had with KERS and his tyres. KERS in Mark's car was working well all race.

Obviously then, Mark chose not to use KERS when overtaking :rolleyes:

This guy has a serious issues with Webber.

i predict button to give vettel a worry in to turn 1 and hamilton to zoom past as they battle. hamilton goes on to win kick starting his winning streak causing vettel to crumble and putting hiim on the road to the WDC

Both Lotusussesses' did a 2 stop race. Same as Alonso.

A bit surprised that Hamilton won the race...didnt think he had a car that could beat Vettel but well done, glad he won as i couldnt bear another race of seeing that smug german idiot Vettel with another win.

Hopefully this should spur Hamilton on to win a few more races and give Vettel a real run for his money.

Was more his tyres than the car from the looks of things.
