British GP Race Thread

[m schumy]

Good morning :wave

Fingers crossed for a good race and a good result, Red Bulls are dominating again but I still think Fernando can finish on the podium :thumb I just hope there will be a race without any safety car incidents :-)

[NJB13]

Lots of things could happen, but I think we have a chance to, not just get on the podium, but for Fernando to win, and, perhaps even a podium for Felipe.

[Tifosi]

It will be a tall order for us to expect both RBs to self destruct and therefore take the win but we should get a very satisfying podium today, and we are expecting our race pace to be good so Felipe could get valuable points too.

Mind you, Red Bull have a nice habit of shooting themselves in the foot so.... ;-)

[Mitra]

hoping for the best, with no McLarens on the podium

Forza Ferrari
:ferrarifl

[Kingdom Hearts]

I'm hoping for a win, I know that Fernando can do it but beware of Mark and Lewis at the start, this guys are crazy and Mark is angry :furious

:ferrarifl

[RED]

Wondering what EJ will be wearing today......　:Hmm

[Tifosi]

Wondering what EJ will be wearing today......　:Hmm

Heheh. Well he's playing drums at the after race party today so i'll go for his "white jeans" look. To be honest, that is the only thing that I can mark as a positive for not being able to go myself this year. The mental scars of hearing EJ murder "The Chain" will never leave me. His drumming skills are akin to what I imagine "Paul the World Cup predicting Octopus" drumming skills would be like. At least Paul is underwater!!!

[RED]

I was thinking of a pair of yellow leather trousers but you may be right.

You don't think we can beat them in race trim? I disagree, I think we can. It would be nice to beat them on the track.

I know we are not quite up to them in Q, but, on race day, especially the longer the race goes, I believe we can beat them. We have been good on our tyres and brakes which helps us in the later stages. What we need is to be out front and in clear air where we can drive the car without stressing it to try and pass.

Needless to say I'd like to see both McCheater cars out of the points.

I don't think we will be able to pass them today, no. Vettel will scoot off and based on yesterday's lap times, there's no reason to see why we should suddenly be on a par with them. The RB is better suited to this track than the Ferrari. As you say, we need to be out front in clean air. We're not. Vettel is. :-??

Webbo is bound to do summat weird though. ;-)

[Grinsomx]

as long as we can get away safely at the start, i think we have a fighting change.
i dont think we will be beat Vettel here, but everything is possible.
we have seen stranger things happen in the last few races, not sure about Felipe but i think he can get a decent amount of important points for the WCC.
i think we will at least see nando on the podium

[Becool70]

I totally agree!! the F10 is superior on race day and if everything goes well Alonso will win.. Hands down...

[JRX164]

In a proper race, it should be possible to finish second. So, let's see we get through the first corner without problems and then just sit out all the required laps. But I do hope it will turn out a little more interesting than that.

[Agron]

I'm hoping for a win, I know that Fernando can do it but beware of Mark and Lewis at the start, this guys are crazy and Mark is angry :furious

:ferrariflQFT. I'm particularly wary of Webber, he doesn't care about ruining his or other's races.


You don't think we can beat them in race trim? I disagree, I think we can. It would be nice to beat them on the track.Even if the car is a bit faster it doesn't mean you have a chance to overtake, you have to be much faster than the car in front to be able to do so.

[Tifosi]

Webbo will be aiming for Vettel's front wing so Fernando may get a chance ;-)

[epiclyaddicted]

Well, I just hope we can at least outscore both the McLarens (on their home soil), and see if the Red Bulls would stamp on their own tails again.

Forza Fernando! Forza Felipe! Forza Ferrari! :ferrarifl

[kingjuani]

I totally agree!! the F10 is superior on race day and if everything goes well Alonso will win.. Hands down...

Alonso wants this win badly..his country is about to win the World cup and i know he feels he needs to win this race..its all about spain today
the start and the first corner, Alonso can start well the F10 has much better race pace than the Bulls watch out for him.

Vamos Espana' vamos Alonso

Juan Carlos, South africa

[Tommy_F]

Well, I just hope we can at least outscore both the McLarens (on their home soil), and see if the Red Bulls would stamp on their own tails again.

Forza Fernando! Forza Felipe! Forza Ferrari! :ferrarifl

Webbo is bound to do summat weird though. ;-)

Well, I really hope you're wrong :-)
I do think that the RB will probably be a little faster than us at the very beginning, but starts always have lots of variables so we will see.
Given we are behind, I acknowledge it will be hard to pass the RB, but, I think/hope we will have an advantage at that point in the race. Alonso may be able to pull off a pass then, if we have better brakes, tyres and speed, well, I'm thinking it's possible.
Forza Ferrari and lets hope we both have reason to be happy when the checkered flags is out later on ;-)

[Red Rocket]

Any news regarding weather? Heard earlier this week great chance for raining hitting race. I just want it to remain stable rain is so unpredictable and turns the race into a lottery.

I don`t think there will be rain today, f1.com is showing a sunny weather so it should be ok :thumb

It's really bright and sunny in and around London, and the weather forecast is to remain like that for the rest of the day for this part of the country.

Collision between Massa and Alonso.....:-s

[ferrari4life]

whos fault was that.. ferraris touched each other

[nash929]

whos fault was that.. ferraris touched each other

I would think Massa. he was going again for a gap which is too small, i believe.

Bad bad start for SF.

[Nathan]

Looking at the position gains of the top 10 runners, Alonso is the only one to have lost out

[Anni]

Collision between Massa and Alonso.....:-s

:-(:-(:-(

Hope something unforeseeable (no accident) will happen and bring our both drivers to the podium!

[SilverSpeed]

haha lewis cheats again, now he punctures seb rear right tyre and no penalty :lol

[Suzie]

I GIVE UP :-s

[ferrari4life]

terrible alonso...what did he do to loose those places. gave up a chance of a win

[nash929]

Looking at the position gains of the top 10 runners, Alonso is the only one to have lost out

Well, Massa also :(

[c-man]

terrible alonso...what did he do to loose those places. gave up a chance of a win

he had a horrible start

[red power]

what sought of start do you call that. wake up alonso

[nash929]

Another mistake by Alonso. when will it all end?

[FerrariF60]

terrible alonso...what did he do to loose those places. gave up a chance of a win

he had another crappy start, that's all....i was expecting a better form from him today
he seems stuck behind nico ATM

[nash929]

he had another crappy start, that's all....i was expecting a better form from him today
he seems stuck behind nico ATM

Yeah, me too..
Kubica's holding the rest of the field. Rosberg is clearly faster.

[Nathan]

he had another crappy start, that's all....i was expecting a better form from him today
he seems stuck behind nico ATM

Yes he is...and unfortunately, he can't get past

[ferrari4life]

shame on alonso...shame on massa. i feel sorry for ferrari. drivers let them down big time today

[Aussie]

Another mistake by Alonso. when will it all end?

race is not over get of his back ok


awesome start from webbo

[Tifosi]

:roll

[nash929]

race is not over get of his back ok


awesome start from webbo

Well, still a mistake. But i never said the race is over.

[Aussie]

next year we will have kers lol

[Grinsomx]

Alonso really needs to get past those 2, but being silverstone it's probably not going to happen

[Grinsomx]

Alonso pits

[nash929]

Alonso really needs to get past those 2, but being silverstone it's probably not going to happen

Unfortunately, yeah :(

Need to pit early now. To get them off Kubica and Rosberg's be-hind.

[Aussie]

alonso pits

[Nathan]

Alonso has pitted: could help him enormously later on and might be the difference between an excellent position and a not so good position.

[Agron]

shame on alonso...shame on massa. i feel sorry for ferrari. drivers let them down big time todayAll those that started on the "clean" side of the track (1,3,5, ...) started worse than those on the dirty side. Apparently in GP2 this happened too.
Don't know who's responsible for that but I guess it's not only the drivers' fault.

And Massa just was unlucky, otherwise he would be fifth or sixth.

[Grinsomx]

and kubica stays ahead of alonso

[nash929]

and kubica stays ahead of alonso

Not good.

[ferrari4life]

i am so mad watching this

[m schumy]

Lewis pits

[m schumy]

i am so mad watching this

Me too....:-s

[Grinsomx]

bleh, almost but he has to give back the position

[ferrari4life]

great so now alonso will be reviewed for cutting the chinace

[hogo]

nah I would not blame everything on luck (its silly to do so every darn weekend this year). Its just a poor form of our team/drivers. Anyway I think we will start doing much better job starting with Spa but till then? nah, no chance.

[Nathan]

If Ferrari go badly...at least Webber is on track for a win :-) *Go Aussie*

[Grinsomx]

great so now alonso will be reviewed for cutting the chinace

he did profit from cutting the corner, so yea..changes are that he has to give back the position. hopefully not

[SilverSpeed]

lol he had no space on the left side...

pushed outside by robert who cheated:wave

So FU, and go fonzo go :-D

[nash929]

for sure, they'll give him a drive thru.

[Grinsomx]

Alonso is flying though, thats good to see

[m schumy]

I GIVE UP :-s

:-s

[ferrari4life]

if alonso is penalized for that ferrari are going to throw a fit

[SilverSpeed]

Robert whining already....


Cry me a river boy :lol

[m schumy]

Webber FL

[Aussie]

If Ferrari go badly...at least Webber is on track for a win :-) *Go Aussie*

thats it go Webbo

[m schumy]

Kubica pits

[SilverSpeed]

Problem solved haha.

[Grinsomx]

kubica retires

[m schumy]

Kubica retires

[Kyss4k]

Dear god, this race suck... Look at McLarens, they are going for 2-3 with the BAD OLD car. It is just like 2009 season :-(

[DIEK]

Kubika out!!

[ferrari4life]

is our race pace that bad?

[Nathan]

Why did Kubica retire?

[Agron]

lol he had no space on the left side...

pushed outside by robert who cheated:wave

So FU, and go fonzo go :-DAgreed, it was Kubica's fault, let's hope he doesn't get a penalty because it would be unfair, if Whiting delays the decision to get a penalty to further screw Alonso I would be mighty off.

[FerrariF60]

Dear god, this race suck... Look at McLarens, they are going for 2-3 with the BAD OLD car. It is just like 2009 season :-(

i hope their engines blow up in smoke

[Grinsomx]

so far, no investigation for Alonso. he might be getting away with it

[Aussie]

Dear god, this race suck... Look at McLarens, they are going for 2-3 with the BAD OLD car. It is just like 2009 season :-(

not even close as or 2009

[simetrije]

Agreed, it was Kubica's fault, let's hope he doesn't get a penalty because it would be unfair, if Whiting delays the decision to get a penalty to further screw Alonso I would be mighty off.

No, it wasn't. It was Alonso's fault.

[Grinsomx]

Alonso had no place to go, but they could still consider it as his fault

[DIEK]

Rosberg front wing is damaged! (butt appears don`t affect his performance)

[Grinsomx]

Rosberg front wing is damaged! (butt appears don`t affect his performance)

he lost a bargeboard, his front wing should be fine

[ferrari4life]

looks like alonso is in the clear

[Grinsomx]

and here it comes....

[Nathan]

Alonso under investigation

[FerrariF60]

looks like alonso is in the clear

not anymore, looks like it's under investigation

[Grinsomx]

drive through for Alonso

[Kyss4k]

And here we go, Alonso off

[Hermann]

DT for Fernando. I can't believe this, someone go an shoot Whiting.

[SilverSpeed]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL RIDICULOUS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FIA

[ferrari4life]

FIA are stupid

[Nathan]

...Drive through penalty...why don't the stewards wait another 20 minutes like they did in the last GP?

[Aussie]

Bulls*it

[ferrari4life]

FIA are cheeters

[Hermann]

Unbelievable. Kubica pushed him off track. I think we can all forget that race now, lest turn off the TV.

[m schumy]

Alonso gets a drive through :-s

[SilverSpeed]

Now only after 0.0000000001 sec they make Fonzo do a DT, but 2 weeks ago they took weeeeeeeeks for lewis DT....


(MA)FIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ferrari4life]

after what they did last week they have the nerve to do that

[hogo]

lol Stewards AREN'T BIASED LMAO

[Nathan]

And anyway:Drive through penalty? FU

[m schumy]

SC

[nash929]

THIS is, manipulated.

[Agron]

British GP, Button gets a position gain, you screw the main opposition for team UK, british RC and stewards. Enough said.

[Lesky]

What happens with Alonso Drive through during SC period?

[Aussie]

i hate the FIA

[DIEK]

Safety car!! Whit normative change...

Terrible for Fernando.

[ferrari4life]

great so they gave him a drive through before the SC

[Hermann]

Will you all believe now that the races are manipulated sometimes? Or do you still prefer to live with your pink plastic glasses?

[Becool70]

This is the last straw!! How can they be sooo obvious ?/?????????? They have given a drive though to let Button for 3rd... This is not a sport anymore its a total sham!!!!

[ferrari4life]

Alonso needs to just retire from the race.. lets see what they do when ferrari does not show up for the next race..its not like we are going to win this year anyway

[Lesky]

Have Alonso got 3 laps after the SC to take the penalty?

[Nathan]

I bet you the stewards delibrately put debris on the corner that Vettel got his puncture, so that they could help McLaren...lol

[wolfy333sp]

Thats it now, not watching the rubbish ever again. What the heck are the british officals doing it, blatently shows its a fix.Hope ferrari do summat about this...

[Grinsomx]

and another present for the Mccheaters, if i was ferrari i would bring in both cars and go home

[ferrari4life]

whats the point of this stupid race

[LAROSA SpA]

This is the biggest load of B*****T :furious :furious :furious

Alonso should go punch Charlie in the face (a la James Hunt)

[Kyss4k]

Great, DT for nothing. We just lost both championships in this two races. Unbelivable...

[Mirage]

season over for alonso he is cursed. and he is a pathetic starter, he ruined his race with his pathetic start. so pathetic that he was fighting massa on the first lap, really sickening, and now a sc right when he gets a drive through which kills his race totally. stunning back luck for alonso continues.

[arunkshrestha]

There is a precedence. Remember spa08? Even though Kimi crashed out Hamilton was still stopped off the win

[Becool70]

SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME, SHAME FIA!!!!! This is just a freakin scandale!! The FIA are trying to loosen the grip Ferrari has on this sport and frankly I am totally disillusioned with this sport!!!

[nash929]

whats the point of this stupid race

To get McLaren win.

[hogo]

Alonso needs to just retire from the race.. lets see what they do when ferrari does not show up for the next race..its not like we are going to win this year anyway

+1 to that! We will be pushed down the grid by stewards no matter what. Ferrari should seriously think about race boycott.

[Becool70]

AAAAHAHAAH SO MANSELL, AN ENGLISH MAN MAKES THE DECISION ON ALONSO???? THIS IS RUBBISH!!!

[muzzyveli123]

F1 is a fix never watching another race again, absolute joke...

[wolfy333sp]

Time For Ferrari Leave F1 and then watch it crumble!!

[Aussie]

so mad its not funny


go webber now

[ferrari4life]

THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH... THE fia have shown what they want.. so lets see how ferrari repond. I dont think we should keep taking this anymore

[FerrariF60]

alnoso is p16 now....race is pretty much over for us....NO F****** points today

[Hermann]

You are not allowed to talk about manipulation. You will have to apologize.

[ferrari4life]

if there is a god then we will see a nice hamiton blow up

[wolfy333sp]

yeah would be good for both mucheats to blow up

[red power]

british cheats, this competition is so manipulated.

[REDARMYSOJA]

Total Effing BS!!

Ferrari might as well park both cars and save the engines.

[ferrari4life]

massa asleep?

[SilverSpeed]

My blood is boiling...

Fonzo should rebel and pit to end his race so the whole world can see it!!!

[wolfy333sp]

I live in england and cant stand the way its rigged, I used to think F1 was a clean sport but now it just shows how wrong i was. Back to watching sportscar racing

[ferrari4life]

why are we even running in this race anymore

[arunkshrestha]

Like I said before spa 08 is the precedence bu I didn't see many people complaining about manipulation

[Grinsomx]

Alonso is fuming and rightly so

[DBXdarkangel]

He said no more radio for the rest of the race..lol

[wolfy333sp]

Time we left F1 ferrari4life m8

[Nathan]

This forum should have a virtual punching bag where you can bleed off your anger through violent clicking of the mouse. Will help considering all the **** luck we've been having :-(

[ferrari4life]

just quit the stupid race we arent going to get any points at this pace

[dastrix550]

This form should have a virtual punching bag where you can bleed off your anger through violent clicking of the mouse. Will help considering all the **** luck we've been having :-(

Put Charlies face on there.

[Nathan]

so mad its not funny


go webber now

Yep...Webber, win this circus

[pericoloso]

Well, that's fair...
A driver passing a Safety Car receives the same penalty as a driver who avoids a collision?
If FIA were runninf FIFA, England would be playing in the finals tonight.

[hogo]

if there is a god then we will see a nice hamiton blow up

Theres no F1 god, we have seen that in 2008.

Gosh but seriously when will Ferrari man up? Enough of this nice guys nonsense. Fans are mad , they turn off TVs seeing such crap, its not good for neither F1 nor Ferrari. Domenicalli DO something damn it!!! Its a pain to watch F1 now, not cos of poor form of our team but cos of all this unfairness we see every darn weekend this year!

[racingbradley]

So here we are again. I just cannot believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Valencia was a fix but not as obvious as this one.
Are we so desperate for a British win????????????? no matter how ill begotten !!!!!!!
I am no fan of Webbers but GO GO GO Webber!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear what LCM has to say. I reckon he has smashed the tele again. We should just leave this farce to Charlie, Bernie et al :-(:-(:-(

[ferrari4life]

what a terrible car. vettel passes with ease and ferrari struggle

[Tommack]

Maybe if Ferrari and Alonso hadnt carried on like pork chops at the last race we would have just got a 5 sec penalty.

[Mitra]

cant believe ferrari's luck
but i must say Vettel has come alive
no for the ferrari guys to follow

[Hermann]

Its too obvious how Ferrari is boycotted in this championship by FIA. They should really react now, but unfortunately, we have a weak team leader: Domenicali. He has as much authority as a wet sponge, and i don't see how this could change.

[m schumy]

Massa pits

[wolfy333sp]

"Maybe if Ferrari and Alonso hadnt carried on like pork chops at the last race we would have just got a 5 sec penalty" Thats a bit silly thing to say Tommack, no disrespect

[hogo]

just quit the stupid race we arent going to get any points at this pace

Yeah they could do this for us, fans, but I guess they are obligated to sponsors to keep racing on... This is why they are being nice every darn time they have been robbed of the points. Sponsors wouldn't like to see team acting radically.

[m schumy]

Vettel passed MS

[Losticus]

So a driver gets dropped eleven places for cutting a chicane in an, at least, dubious manoeuvre, and another one gets zero places for overtaking a SC... some Charlie Whiting should consider resign seriously if he has any love for this sport.

[crbassassin]

Maybe if Ferrari and Alonso hadnt carried on like pork chops at the last race we would have just got a 5 sec penalty.

and his start was rubbish

[Kyss4k]

Look at Vettel. He is 9th and where is Massa? He was in front of him. After we stopped development in half of 2009 I would say we will win this season, but we will be happy to stay on 3rd (2009). Dark ages again?

[Tommack]

I don't think its a stupid thing to say - last race Ferrari was demanding stronger enforcement of rules for Lewser, now we have stronger enforcement.

[Nathan]

Maybe if Ferrari and Alonso hadnt carried on like pork chops at the last race we would have just got a 5 sec penalty.

Charlie would never do that for Ferrari. Never.

[pericoloso]

Maybe if Ferrari and Alonso hadnt carried on like pork chops at the last race we would have just got a 5 sec penalty.

So you are saying that a team who is treated unfairly should just let it go. Hmmm. I wonder if Mclaren would be reacting that way if they were at the receiving end of these ridiculous decisions. Of course, that will not happen since the FIA is ran by British stewards and directors.

[Nathan]

I don't think its a stupid thing to say - last race Ferrari was demanding stronger enforcement of rules for Lewser, now we have stronger enforcement.

Drive through penalty was much too harsh. If Kubica hadn't had retired, then Alonso would have just been ordered to let Kubica through again. But losing about 15 positions due to a drive through penalty? That's ridiculous. Everyone said that, even the BBC commentators.

[Hermann]

Sure, if you don't swallow everything and open your mouth and say what is really happening, you will be on the black list of Whiting.

[ferrari4life]

u poke a giant long enough and they will snap your head off. at least lets hope

[wolfy333sp]

Yeah its time ferrari said something, will be stupid if they dont.

[Becool70]

So a driver gets dropped eleven places for cutting a chicane in an, at least, dubious manoeuvre, and another one gets zero places for overtaking a SC... some Charlie Whiting should consider resign seriously if he has any love for this sport.

They are destroying the credability of this sport!! Tney want Ferrari to suffer and give the other big teams the WC so they can control F1 as they like.. Ferrari should voicot this JOKE!!

[Aussie]

ever since 2005 we have been getting F##ked over

[wolfy333sp]

Jus think if the same thing happend to the SILVER SLIME at the brit gp, You whould never hear the last of it

[JRX164]

Again a lost race. Yes, again a stupid decision made after retirement of Kubica (but yes, Alonso should have given his position back to Kubica immediately) and again a stupid safety-car situation. However, being only fourth in the WCC is exactly where we belong in the championship. Bahrein was clearly a one-off and it is dissappointing to me that Ferrari aren't able to get the cars and the strategy in order.

Things seriously need to change to climb in the championship. This obviously isn't working. Yes, sorry, I'm very dissappointed. I want to win because we're the best and don't make any mistakes. Not because others crash, not because of safety cars and not because of pitstop strategies only for tires. Too bad I'm not a fan of RBR (and never will be). I'm already looking forward to next season, hoping Ferrari will really be back and hoping the races are interesting too watch again.

[Grinsomx]

4 more laps and another race with a very foul aftertaste

[ferrari4life]

cant belive our car is sad that we cannot even pass..redbull is schooling us...really we can get mad and blame our problems on the FIA but if our car was any better we would not be in the position we find outselves

[Aussie]

And where whould alonso be now without the FIX

[Grinsomx]

cant belive our car is sad that we cannot even pass..redbull is schooling us...really we can get mad and blame our problems on the FIA but if our car was any better we would not be in the position we find outselves

very true, alltough we have been very unlucky with steward decisions this year. not really believing it but it does look as if they are manipulating the outcome of certain races

[racingbradley]

John Todt surely oversees these decisions!!!!!!!
What is going on????? I just do not understand how much more we can take.
What a horrible day for all those Ferrari fans @ Silverstone to-day!!!!!!
It's time FIA replaced Charlie and why are so many driver/stewarts British?????
I guessed something would happen when I saw Mansell was chosen for this race.

[Aussie]

on the good side go u good thing mark webber !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vcs316]

Alonso should have just given the position to Kubica and tried again. This was clearly Alonso's fault. And this race is too embarrassing to watch... Bring on the German Grand Prix.

[Aussie]

Fernando avoided an accident. But you are right though, because Fernando- and Ferrari- should know by now that he is on Whitings black list. And he will take every opportunity to screw Fernando.

OMG from bad to worse

WHAT!! ALO got pushed out by KUB!! What was he suppposed to do?? It WAS NOT AN ALO mistake.. You must be a Kimmi fan..

[Nathan]

Go Webber

[pericoloso]

The F10 is clearly only the 3rd best and only Ferrari can resolve that.
The problem I see is that there is a conflict of interest in how the FIA is organized. You don't see any other sport where, in international competition, the referee is of the same nationality as one of the teams playing. In addition, you have British race stewards deciding a British GP? You only see this in F1.

yup, should have lifted right away and let him pass. the DT however was too much considering he (alonso) had no place to go

[hogo]

I had an opportunity to go hiking today but no I chose to watch this farce again. What a waste of time:-s I just pity those Ferrari supporters who bought tickets, poor tifosi got ripped off again.

[DIEK]

Best lap of F.A...

[ferrari4life]

dont like webber but cheering for him

[Aussie]

WELL DONE WEBBO Aussie GRIT

[m schumy]

Webber wins

[dastrix550]

Mark Webber(team radio): Not bad for the Number 2 driver. lol

[Becool70]

at least we got fastest lap of the race to Alonso!!!!

[vcs316]

Its a simple rule, you can't gain positions by cutting chicanes. And thats what Alonso did (irrespective of whether he avoided any accident). He should have backed off when Kubica left him no room and tried again. He should have also given back the position to Kubica as that was clearly inviting a penalty. Poor race craft really..

[Aussie]

lmfao webber not bad for a number 2 driver

[wolfy333sp]

Yeah thanks webber, stopped scumbags from winning at least !!

[Tifosi]

lmfao webber not bad for a number 2 driver


:thumb Up yours Christian heheh

[Agron]

Here's hoping for MW or Vettel and RB for WDC and WRC. If we can't at least let not Team England win it either.

[ferrari4life]

blah blah fia

Who got ripped off? What farce are you talking about? The second Alonso cut the chicane and overtook Kubica, everyone knew it was going to be a penalty. My question is why didnt the Ferrari pit-wall tell Alonso to give back the position? What were they thinking? The stewards will let it slide because of what happened in Valencia???

[nash929]

Rooting for RB to win both championships. FIA will just screw Ferrari anyway.

[racingbradley]

'Never saw myself as a Webber fan but I cheered him on to-day because I didn't want to see either McLaren win. It just didn't work to-day for Charlie & Nigel but they did try!!!!:lol

[Aussie]

:thumb Up yours Christian heheh

thats it mate

webber got stiffed his wing and RBR gave it to finger webber was upset

[vecchiasignora]

MARK WEBBER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

[Mirage]

Amazing how terrible Alonso is at race starts, while massa is so good at them. Just ruins races. With a good start he had second today and now the wdc is very hard to win. He is cursed this year, barely a single clean race all year, and it never stops it just gets worse.

[REDARMYSOJA]

Good to see Alonso had enough class to congratulate Webber.

I'd be helmet throwing if I were him.

[Kyss4k]

It is only me or Button started on HARD tires and than pitted for HARDs again?

[Hermann]

On spanish TV they said that Fernando asked the team if he should give the position back and they said 'no it should be ok' or something like that. Good grief.

[Suzie]

Feel thoroughly deflated after that race. If it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

Yeah, I guess the pitwall was hoping Whiting would let it pass. It's not all their fault anyway. Alonso should have also known better. BUT, it shouldn't have mattered when Kubica retired.

Penalise Alonso if Kubica was still running, im thinking, but when he retired, what was the point? The driver he got an advantage was already gone.

watch replay AGAIN, it was neck a neck and Kubica just pushed Alonso of the track. simple. If someone had to be punished that is Kubica.

[ferrari4life]

yup i am backing webber from now on. poor guy..classic underdog

[vcs316]

If thats the truth, the team must have been high on something and I can bet it wasn't common sense of the rules.

[Aussie]

MARK WEBBER FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

HELL YESS
