Pahahahaha I can't stop laughing!

[FIAT PALIO]

Its repeat of 2010 but with reversal of roles this time vettel is leading.....................

[varun]

third from 7th. Job well done i say.
The alternator will fail in brazil.

i dont understand how it was a great from Alonso...instead Massa was great today,,,
Alonso just went from 7th to 3rd by others problems.--
MSC losing out at start from everyone..
and shabby pitstop for alonso and same for kimi and had kimi had a fast stop he surely would have overtaken alonso..
and he just passed hul at the start,,,,

dont get me wrong....i am a huge Alonso fan......
BUT was Alonso today?

[Katu]

i hope RB will still have hangover when they are in Brazil, long pitstops, strange strategies...

[Alfa159]

Both our boys were great today

Yes they were .... now only if we could say the same for our cars!

[DIEK]

[REDARMYSOJA]

The Red Bull guys, Newey and Horner, were both complaining about Karthikeyan holding up Vettel. I didn't see that, did anyone else?

[Kingdom Hearts]

Fantastic result but what happen with Alonso`s pace?. By the way this guy is a master on lap 1, also Felipe amazing all weekend.

lol..its called racing. Being able to pre-empt what shumi was going to do at the first turn allowed him to jump him to 4th. Its not his fault that kimi had a slow stop.. and so did he. I dont see the argument here. To come from 7th to 3rd (without even a SC intervention) is superb.
Felipe was great today, completely agree.

they just showed it, but Narain had not a chance to even get out of Vettel's way

it happened at the turn before lewis got the run up on vettel. Dont think we saw it.

But being a title contender and being 35 secs behind?????????
Then our is totally rubbish and our Drivers are too good!!

Are you new to this year's championship?

[GamD]

Our finger boy!

Seems that it has been a tough race with a happy end after what we could expect after qualifying.
Was funny to follow the race only via forum ... as I probably would have gone insane ....

I'm very proud and pull my head for Massa who did so well this weekend ... mui biene mui biene, fantastico

After all the despite we had right before race it seems that the team made the right decision. In the end you're always smarter.
I hope they can figure out what the issue was at the car of Alonso .... But I'm impressed what eh can even do if the car struggles that hard ...

Nice Evening everybody ...
And thanks for your information during the race ;)

[Need4speed]

Any news about the alternators for RBR in the next race ...???

[GamD]

Wonder what Lewis and Alonso is talking about

Pussycat dolls new album?

[REDARMYSOJA]

Thanks, I knew I was watching pretty close but didn't see it.

[FerrariF60]

I too think faith owes us one
back in 2008 massa needed to win with Hamilton 5th or worse
this year Alonso needs to win with vettel 5th or worse

how coincidental is that?

we can do this, we are FERRARI

[varun]

Are you new to this year's championship?

not at all...

but KOREA=== +13.944
INDIA=== +9.437
ABU DHABI == less than 1 sec
even SINGAPORE==== +15.227

but here Alonso's gap to leader at end of the race...was arnd 35 sec!

maybe Alonso doesn't like this track much...thats why it was P9 in quali too...

[SashAlex]

Fanculo Vettel&RedBull ! Fanculo Horner ! Avanti Ferrari !

[Alonsomaniac]

Our three drivers drove great today..... three?? Yes, Fernando, Felipe and Lewis.... Never thought I'd ever want him to win, but I did today.

The championship is still alive, allthough barely, and it could very well rain in Brazil.

Ferrari and Fernando can still do it!!!!!!!!

[number 13]

Rain for brazil! Hopefully!

[bonzo]

39.2 seconds behind winner.........

This is the truth for our cars. We do have great drivers, the greatest of all on the grid is Alonso. The car is slow because it cannot heat the tyres in one lap, does not have downforce. Half a minute behind the winner!! What do we hope for in Brazil? A Vettel DNF is the only chance AND Alonso 3rd or up. Well, miracles do happen... Rarely...

[Senna4Ever]

they just showed it, but Narain had not a chance to even get out of Vettel's way

Maybe they thought it would go on like last time where everybody jump out of Vettels way not to hold him behind ...
But once again it has shown how perfectly the RB turns out of corners ... this seems right a machine out of hell ...

After the team treated the rules to extreme on terms of strategy it would be fine if they can to the same with aerodynamics and ideas who speed up the car as whole ...

[Stormsearcher]

i dont see your point. I think its been clear for a while that the RBR and sometimes macca are vastly superior to us in terms of sheer pace. Dont know why the gap is coming as a surprise to you.
My point is, no matter how rubbish the car is, Nando manages to get results. Really speaking, he has no business being in the title fight in the last race of the season with the car he has. What about this is difficult to get?

What about 2010 season. Its almost repeat of that .

[rico]

We are not 38 seconds slower overall. You must consider the 6.5s pit stop of Fernando, plus the fact that for the first ~5 laps of every stint we needed to warm-up the tyres, plus that Vettel and Hamilton were on qualifying laps for the full race while Fernando had a lonely race in 3rd

[bonzo]

I despise Vettel. Grow a pair you whining fool.

Don't hate him so much, he will be in a red car come 2014.
