Jesus Christ McLaren need to seriously improve their strategy, their decisions this season have been appaling on the most part. Not fuelling the car enough because of a lack of Friday practice is a poor excuse, they must know how much the car uses from previous GP so take an educated guess. Not letting Hamilton race because they seriously under fuelled Hamilton is unacceptable.

Red Bull's decision to keep Webber behind Vettel was terrible, they should have let them race.

Nando winning is pissing annoying, despite him being the fastest driver, surprise surprise the FIA favour Ferrari again with the new regulations.

All in all, it was a terrific race, just my team didn't perform very well so I am somewhat annoyed!

In politics news, Horner did not look very happy at all in the RBR garage today so not sure if the FIA have changed their mind AGAIN!
Yes the FIA have handed the advantage to (6th and 13th) McLaren and have ruined the chances of (1st and 3rd) Red Bull.
Not really. And that wasn't my point, the FIA was a farce this weekend, they shouldn't have changed the rules mid season anyway, they then changed them anyway, then changed them to suit Renault, then decided against it and then decided to drop the new rules for the rest of the season.

It is just ridiculous for a professional sporting body to be so indecisive and make the sport look a bit like a joke.

So Hamilton already signed to Red Bull? Just when you expect him to throw a strop, he seems almost "resigned" to McLaren screwing things up for him. I liked his comment about having a platinum card to the Stewards Office too.

And Webber's obviously not sticking around.

Yeh, the platinum card comment and saying he will wait in the stewards waiting room rather than walk there later made me laugh as well!

I would be very surprised if he has gone to RBR. It would be like him estranging his family.

Let's see how long Webber lasts at Red Bull.

He has been saying a few coice things about Horner in the printed press.

You might see Ricciardo in the Red Bull pretty soon.

I think there are far better candidates to fill Webbers seat than an unproven talent in F1, I would imagine Ricciardo would go to Toro Rosso first, like Vettel.

I would love to see Kobay in the Red Bull, I think that would be great racing between Kobay and Hamilton! haha!
