What goes around comes around Kimi
Clearly Grosjeans fault.

McLaren driver Perez made a series of aggressive overtaking moves, in one of which he collided with Raikkonen.

Asked if the drivers would talk to Perez, Raikkonen said: "That won't help. Maybe someone should punch him in the face."


ahahahaha
You've woke up then
Unfortunately not, it got so bad that when I did wake up from the afternoon slumber, the sun was shining I thought f@#k it and went for a 30 minute walk, got back in for the last 4 minutes enough to see the checkered flag then turned the tv off when all the bs awards were happening.

Really pleased for Nico, he deservedly won a GP for mercedes, consistently driving as well if not better than Hamilton, their first GP win I think ... and he beat golden balls Vettle as a nice bonus.

What the f@#k happened to Ferrari I have no idea, and although he was 'bargy' I was impressed with Checo and his audatious moves, I agree with whoever said it above he could well become a great driver, and maybe in the not too distant future if Mclaren can get their finger out and give him a good car, I think he is faster than Button and certainly more aggressive.

Not sure how he is faster than Button.

That will be judged at the end of the season, but right now Button has over double the points and has out qualified Perez 4 out of 6 times.

Agree he's an exciting prospect though.

I count 14 cars out at the first corner.
I like the way that drivers are still revving their engines after the crash, trying to get going again, despite having another car parked on top of them

Raikonnen's just moaning because Perez had a go at overtaking in "impossible to overtake" Monaco. He certainly livened things up. Sutil pulled off some good moves too, and Button getting Alonso was also pretty good.

In 5 years time it may well be Perez, Maldanado and Grosjean fighting for the championship, so they should be forgiven for the odd indescretion as long as they're also fast.

GP2 is what happens when you get rich kids in cars. Even BTCC don't contact as often.

They need to do something about it really, because the kids who do arrive in F1 then think they can get away with it all.

Tend to agree, but the pressure on them to win is huge. Results are the difference between F1 and the door, so you can feel a little for them if they are all it it, and the FIA / stewards have a big part to play. A couple of big bans wouldn't go amiss.

Williams are entering a "long-term" partnership with Mercedes to supply their engines from the 2014 Formula 1 season onwards.

The former champions are currently powered by Renault engines but with new engine regulations introduced next year, they have decided to make the switch.
