in the pre race coverage he mentioned steve waugh had a chat with him.

asked him how he liked being an underdog.

i guess he wasn't so keen on that title.....

Might have been just what he needed, a poke in the eye so to speak, that made him think, "stuff this, I'll show the bastards"


He did that last race before this one, we just forgot to tell him "show us how good you can go" Not how good the underside of the car looks, and the imprtance of good design in the impact shell

20 odd laps at qualifying pace (allowing for fuel load) he was flying

Schumaker deserves to have his licence revoked

Onya Webber
Vettel, somebody needs to take him aside and tell him, sunshine, grow up. That would have to the most arrogant display by any F1 driver in relation to fellow drivers at flag ceremony, and after race interview.
Dummy out, pram in the gutter, boo hoo
Schumacher, if that was the AFL, you would have got the season on the sidelines, what a flogga

webber was gone, he was teeing up for one of the last few positions... if it hadnt been for vettel stalling the field at the restart and afterwards he had no chance, unfortunately vettel didnt know the rules and shot himself in the foot... first and last time he will help out his so called team mate.

good work tho, he leads the championship now... booooyaaaaaar

Giving Vettel his due here is some of his responses from the F1 site

Q: Sebastian, you dominated the whole weekend and then ended up P3 in the race. Can you find cause for joy in this?
Sebastian Vettel: Well, these are still good points but I should have won and a little negligence from my side trashed it all. I was so sure that the safety car would stay out a bit longer and the punishment I received for that lapse was quite severe. But it does not help to cry over spilled milk.

Q: The drive-through penalty - was that something you take the blame for, or should the team have supervised you in any form? Or at least reminded you of the rules…
SV: I think the main issue was that in the first part of the race we lost the audio contact - what the reason was for that we will have to find out - and that was probably the start of all the misfortune. In the end I didn’t do myself any favours in giving Mark (Webber) so much space, as I have lost ground to him. I don’t have much more to say about it. I was fastest all weekend long and was always the faster of the two of us - except for the race.

Q: You made some unmistakable gestures from the car during your drive-through. When did the first rush of anger pass?
SV: I was there in the car not knowing why I’d got a drive-through penalty, so understandably I was not too happy - and I showed it! Because after that penalty I was stuck behind that red car and from then on my race was over. I’d been much faster but on this track it’s impossible to overtake without the danger of sailing off the track and I wanted to bring these points back home.


Webber and his Engineer did what Button and Brawn did last year and rolled the dice in a move that could have ended badly but had a chance of success.

If Vettel's radio had been working better he would have been informed about the safety car (although the yellow flag light do go out) then V would have been able to keep within striking range of W after the restart and take him at W's pit stop, unfortunately some obscure rule (similar to what happened at restart earlier this season) cropped up and caught V by surprise.

Schumaker's got a 10 grid position penalty for the next race, which should put him of the grid.

i'm not sure why schumacher came back to racing. he left as one of the greatest drivers ever and now looks like a hack.

the rest of the season is going to be a cracker. it's suggested that redbull won't perform as good in the remaining part of the season due to the circuit setups.

my bet is for a webber and alonso run to the end.
