I agree with all that you wrote Jamie, particularly the part about Vettel .... and also I think this race should be off the calendar.

^^^^ Your mad if you think it should be off the calendar. It does more good than harm and is a very technical and interesting course to watch. I really don't think Vettle lucked into it either. Now, if Hamilton was still in the race I believe it would have been much more interesting with the restarts. Vettle did distance himself quite well from Button on BOTH restarts, so I dont think he lucked into it. Also, Vettle had made no sudden movements when Jenson had to move out of his way.

So when Vettel wins it is either luck or down to cheating?

You really do have a hate thing going.

And his helmet was totally illegal ;-)

I also really hate Vettel, not really sure why though.

Perhaps it's all down to his carefully crafted PR image, that speech about Prof. Sid Watkins seemed so cynical & rehearsed; like he's always trying to be Mr. Perfect.

Saying that a lot of current F1 drivers are just corporate clones these days, Paul Di Robot-Resta, I can't even listen to him anymore! 10110110110...

Its not really cheating, Adrian Newey is just a master of rule 're-interpretation' :-)

He is not alone in making rehearsed speeches when they win, what would be interesting is to hear what they say when they have to retire when well in the lead!
