F1 2010

[Benj]

If Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso can go a race weekend with the correct tactics and reliable cars then the rest of the field will be royally f*cked IMO, they are the best and fastest drivers out there.

It evens out things up front though, only far for Vettel really, he should have 75 points really

[Benj]

Sports aren't played on shoulds or coulds though

It's a good job for us that Red Bull/Vettel have been so unreliable so far, otherwise we could be looking at the championship thinking "another boring year of f1"!

It'll be interesting to see the Englishman, the Irishman and the Scotsman discuss that one tomorrow. Difficult to see how they'll manage to argue about that. But they will, bless 'em.

[sifi]

Bloomin' Irishman didn't turn up. It's been quite nice actually.

Alonso didn't jump the lights at the start. Oh no. The lights were slow in changing.

Great manouvre by Hamilton - two for the price of one!

But then it's typical Hamilton - acting like a cock in the pit-lane.

That was one of the best grand prix’s I’ve seen for a long time. Plenty of incident and talking points.

Schumacher looks like he should have stayed in retirement.

Great drives from Button and Hamilton for different reasons...

When was the last time we had a British One / two ? Great to see two British flags...

Really confident Hamilton has a real shot this year... Some good calls by Button but his luck will run out sooner or later and Hamilton is simply faster and the better racer... I don't think Button passed anyone on the track did he ?

I thought the incident in the pit lane was McLaren's fault (not Hamilton's) as they released him early. He/they may well get penalised. There were some very dubious goings on in the pit lane though, with Alonso passing Massa while heading into the pit lane.

Button passed Rosberg. Bit difficult to pass anyone else when you're leading.

[sifi]

I agree. To put his foot on the pedal when told to, and then swerving to avoid hitting the other car... outrageous.

I think the problem was after he that, further down the pit-lane when he was racing with Vettel dispite Vettel being slightly ahead of him and refusing to yield despite the fact he was acting dangerously and almost driving where he could cause serious danger to people in the pit lane.

Both drivers reprimanded over the incident. No further punishment it seems. Right outcome.

Was it Hamilton's fault? He didn't get away from his garage well enough and maybe should've lifted to allow Vettel track position. On the other hand, he was actually ahead of Vettel as they were released, but due to his lack of traction Vettel was able to get along side him, so you could argue that he had the right of way.

[Kowalski]

He's a proper sportsman

[sifi]

Harsh IMHO.

Hamilton should have given way.

1 - Vettel was well on is way when Hamilton was released. Hamilton should have not been released at that point.

2 - Vettel found himself alongside Hamilton because he was going faster. Having been released significantly easier.

3 - Hamilton should have at that poinit realised what happened, and yielded, instead of deciding to race him in the pit-lane.

4 - Once Hamilton had started racing him in the pit-lane, Vettel shouldn't have pushed him. However, Hamilton really should have yielded long before that.
