Was a good race for once  :smiley:

To be fair I think most of the races have been good with the exception of Valencia.  Hopefully things will be a little more mixed up for the remainder of the season was good to see Webber finish ahead of Vettel.

Nail.. Head.. Unbelievable battling by not only Lewis but the Mclaren team in the pitstops!!! Well done boys!!!

Aye, this has effectively had Bernie putting a nail in the coffin for F1.

I have sky, but there is no way I am going to pay for sports on top of my already quite expensive tv package.

I guess I will just be watching half of the season then. :sad:

"We will give F1 the full Sky Sports treatment with a commitment to each race never seen before on UK television

Yeah, bloody brilliant.  :angry:

Its been free to air for years and years. And all of a sudden they f**k us all. Sky is way to expensive to have never mind having the sports package. How is this going to attact more people to f1 if many people cant afford it.
