Brilliant for Webbo!! Just remember that he actually lives in Britain, thus pays income tax, thus gets my support

I was chuffed!

On lap 37 Vettel is only 7 secs ahead after 2 stops and only picked up 1 place at the start.
Useless little tit!

Massa impressed me today. He could have destroyed Alonso but stuck to team orders...

It's going to be a bore fest to the end of the season now, Red Bull all the way now, I can't see any way back for Alonso or Ferrari.

McLaren are obviously pushing the development of their car to the limit, either that or Hamilton is getting all the sh1t parts now he has announced his departure. My guess would be the first.

Good to see that Massa has finally found his balls.

That wouldn't surprise me.

It was interesting to watch Whitmarsh on the BBC after qualifying. They asked him some question about Lewis' strategy for the race and then he proceded to talk about Vettel, Webber, Alonso and Button, but no mention of Hamilton. Quite telling really.

I'm not sure their astro turf upgrade was much of a success either

I fear you're probably correct.

Unfortunately I have to agree, however I will be optimistic and hope they (RBR) trip over themselves one way or another and it goes to the wire and Alonso takes it.

Vettel to Ferrari in 2014. Which means Massa's seat is safe for next year. I didn't think Vettel and Alonso got on very well off track?
