Hope Webber hasn't got any significant damage after that, I still wouldn't mind seeing him win.
Webber or Barrichello, all will be welcome.
If Barrichello wins and DOESN'T do his stupid "podium trip" there'll be trouble!

God damn that's got to be depressing for Hamilton

Hamilton getting lapped even earlier than usual this race

Looking very good for Webber as long as his usual bad luck doesn't resurface.

Gutted for Hamilton. Was looking forward to a very exciting race with Hamilton dicing about at the front, but instead a slight nudge from Webber ruins his race

Wonder if he got blue flags? Guess the marshalls are gonna get confused

Looking at Webbers onboard earlier he made no movement towards Hamilton and was just driving straight down the track - its a racing incident that could have been avoided though...

Think this is going to be a good result for button. with massa going longer than vettel... even if vettel scores a point or 2 more, its best case damage limitation.

Emlyn_Dewar · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:16

Sutil still in the thick of it, hopefully he can keep some speed up and get some luck.
I'd say it's time for rain.

Please can I do a rain dance?

Oh yeh I'm not blaming Webber, it was by no means intentional.

Gogogo!
See if Hamilton can catch back up and unlap himself!

Webber under investigation !!!

Psycho Ned · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:18

Webber under investigation!! Usually means a penalty is forthcoming.

I'm guessing for that dodgy swerve he did on Barrichello at the start rather than the Hamilton incident.

Emlyn_Dewar · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:18

Vettel piling pressure on.

Sigh, stewards going to trash Webber's race. Yay for removal of competition!

Goksly · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:18

wtf - webber and rubens investigation? I thought webber didnt actually move and rubens drifted into him, expecting webber to drift also, but webber had lewis next to him? Hope no one gets a penalty.

Yeah, it looked like Hamilton braked slightly earlier than Weber who then ran into him.

ps3ud0 · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:18

Like to see the start from Barrichellos car regards what went on - really be unimpressed if either get a penalty...

ps3ud0 :cool:

so he should for that it was dangerous

NathanE · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:19

Remember Webber having a right go at Hamilton in Monza last year for "moving around in the braking zones"?

Emlyn_Dewar · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:20

Wasn't a braking zone according to DC?
Not in stewards interest to have racing this weekend I don't think. Best to get rid of Webber early on.

NathanE · 12 Jul 2009 at 13:20

Oh BTW... yay for 2009 car regs...... already bored stiff waiting for first round of pit stops...
