I think Di Resta has a spark of brilliance at times, he needs more experience for sure, but I think for his first season he is doing very well. I think he is a lot like Button when he first joined F1 and we know how brilliant he is now.

I was a bit miffed that the fans (Tifosi) were booing Vettel on winning, that is not right. For a group of fans who are meant to be the most passionate in F1, (something which I vehemently contest, I think the Brits are) to boo the winner because he was not in a Ferrari is just not sporting.

They also gave Button the same treatment, but he threw it back in their faces by going to the front of the podium and waving his trophy in front of them for a second time.
That may have had something to do with Button's recent comments about having no desire to drive for Ferrari before the end of his career.

From 3:15 onwards.

Booing, whoever it is directed at, is just not very sporting full stop. It happens nowhere else, the Brits didn't boo when Vettel won at Silverstone this year and McLaren were nowhere to be seen!

iirc there was booing at the Canadian GP when Vettel got his trophy. I believe this was directed at the chap handing over the prize though.
