I'll add to the Vettel comments that I think there's a rabbit off with the Red Bull car; it's too good in comparison to the others. It reminds of the 'edge' Toyota had in rallying some time ago - until their flexible intake restrictor was discovered. I suspect similar 'ingenuity' at Red Bull...
isnt it that thing that blows exhaust gas under the car that is being stopped soon ?

The trick it has, apparently, is the DRS. In qually they have a way to make it work on high speed corners thus allowing them to open it and still have sufficient downforce to get around the corner whilst shedding a load of drag.
Of course, they are the masters of the hot blow/cold blow diffuser which will be banned from Silverstone.

Or it would have been until JB woke up yesterday; magnificent stuff.
And I think there is more to Vettel looking unhappy at the end than a last-lap loss - he's shown us, his competition, and himself that he's fallible, and it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to that.

Wow, wow, wow and wow.
What a amazing race.
Long may F1 be that exciting again! Absolutely awesome, this is such a cracking season, cannot wait for Valencia now which is normally a borefest, but given this season so far, it might be awesome!
What a champions drive by JB and the best team won, so I am a very happy man.
Epic!
