It had some good moments, but not exactly a classic. Rowan's expression was one of the highlights.

I believe that's Vettel's first Grand Chelem; explains why he was so eager to nab the fastest lap.

Congratulations, I guess

Would like to say it's going to get more exciting but.......next rounds Abu Dhabi

Least Brazil ends the season, hopefully some rain and Vettel not winning!

I think they should do a review of all the incidents at the end of the season to try and get some consistancy with them and clarify the rules for next year

I'm fine with penalties being given for incidents as long as a similar incident at a different race is treated the same, and that goes for everyone regardless who is involved

I actually dont agree with avoidable incident penalties. If they dont have a go for fear of a drivethrough they wont. Or it has to be artificial like DRS.

V8 Supercars has become quite boring since they tightened up penalties. I understand why, I just dont think it makes for exciting racing.

Lol stop doing fastest lap. Got to love the lad!

not quite as bad as valencia but my attention did keep drifting away from it.

how would it have been if they had the soft and super softs i wonder

They still doing some decorating in the Indian pre podium room? Got the dust sheets down on the settee

Saying how they might not spray the champagne.

Not often the drivers look as drained as they do today.

Pretty good race but so dusty it must have been hard off line. Steady race for Vet and Button, had to agree with penalty for Massa as he benefited from turning in on Lewis, who had to pit. The commentators seemed to miss that I think.

Fitting way to end a quite boring race :/

i feel this anthem isnt quite long enough

Lunatic Dreyfus · 30 Oct 2011 at 11:15

Herman Tilke leans back in his chair and says to himself. "Another fine circuit for F1. My work here is done."

So, other than some aggro in this thread, it was a generic late 2011 race

. No doubt it will be bigged up by the media as another fantastic spectacle.

Merlin5 · 30 Oct 2011 at 11:16

That German anthem is way too long and about 10 times longer than ours.

utajoker · 30 Oct 2011 at 11:16

looks like they may have blinded newey.

Well at least it might stop him designing bloody amazing cars for a bit

Just glad there hasn't been another tradegy.

These things often come in threes.

Yep a bit different than previous races this season, awhile back hammy said it seems to be less about the racing and more about tyre management this year. Seems like they're just not pushing the cars as much and it's less physically demanding as a result.

Bidding on Eddies shirt there!

Psycho Ned · 30 Oct 2011 at 11:23

Yep you can see Massa leaning his head looking into the mirror, just brainless tbh as surely he knew it would screw his own race up?
