Webber actually smiling for a change

Wonder why the race is so long? 50 laps would have taken it to 1hr 30min which most the other races are.

Unhappy Massa

Haha, he is such a ****. Hopefully see less of them with these last few fly away races.

He's a good kid, though even i find the "finger" annoying as ****.

It was funny for the first couple of times, but boring & predictable now

Everyone has their trademark, MSC used to "conduct" the Italian national anthem, Vettel does the finger! Ok it's a bit.. weird.. but hey

Barrichello doing the 'slip up' on the podium

I hate to say it though but maybe getting rid of his father was not the best idea. He was roundly disliked at mclaren for throwing his weight around and threatening to take his ball elsewhere but perhaps that's just doing his job as every other manager was or should be doing.

Yep his father has said today that he needs a manager, not a company looking after him.

Either to be honest, they both have qualities that would improve whichever team they drove for. Pushed, i'd say JB though.

Make it so!

Stranger things have happened.

Good to have you back on here mate.

So basically JB has been awesome this year and in the form of his life and yet is not even 20 points ahead of his team mate having the worst season of his career.

He has been let down by the team though, compared to Hamilton who has made his own mistake more often than not.

At least he wasn't 'completed destroyed' by Hamilton though, which was the line a few on here used before he joined

considering the form button is in and the lack of for hamilton, i would expect more of a points gap.

Even with Vettel taking most the points for the season himself? Not like Mclaren have had the quickest car.

Indeed. And even before his move to McLaren was mooted, before the 2009 season in fact, I seem to recall a post....ah yes.

If you ever want the future predicted with 100% accuracy, I would venture to say that sunama is not necessarily the guy to ask
