i do feel a bit sorry for Lewis though, I think hes right about getting on with it and trying to provide interesting driving...I don't think I could ever say whether he dived down and Massa closed the door on him.. I suppose they are split second decisions you make as a driver..

Jenson was on for a win too, I feel totally gutted for the man.. Some of the rules under red flag definitely need rethinking..

Lewis was clearly not in the right frame of mind when he was interview. Shame he has said what he said as he is clearly frustrated and Im on his side. He makes moves which imo are fine and other drives just shut the door on him when they have no right to and he gets penalised.

Agree with the above post, Seb should never have been allowed to change his tyres, I dont think they should be allowed to touch the cars during a red flag "rest" (that includes fixing Lewis rear wing if anyone thinks Im biased). 

Dare I say it but looks like Seb has this season all wrapped up :(

+1 hopefully it'll make the rest of the season a bit more interesting but probably not. :sad:

Watched the full race this morning. Was really good up till the red flag. I don't think they should allow work on the cars in those conditions, it ruined the race. That said Vettle drove well and luck was on his side.

Hamilton had a shocker and needs to bit his lip in post race interviews. Sadly gone are the days when you had a bad day and you could go and kick the crap out of your camper van and head home. These days you have to be wheeled out in front of the press regardless to keep your sponsors happy. Anyone remember Senna crashing out, walking back to his apartment and not being seen for days?

just listened to that dicks interview...did he really just accuse all the over drivers of being stupid? this coming from a driver who didnt see a big red ferrari stopped in front of him at the end of the pit lane the other year and subsequently drove into it??? seriously?

I like him but I am finding him to be a right mardy arse, Im supporting Button more and more lately.

That said, he is making it interesting, I like his driving style more than Buttons.
