Glad it was a good race. I never watched it unfortunately. Nor will I bother watching the remaining ones for 2013. I will tune in next year through to see if the rule changes have worked in halting the dominance of redbull, which lets face it, at 2secs a lap faster than the rest of the field is like me trying to race a new gtr in my s2k

Another rule change they should enforce is to ban Adrian Newey from F1 There's nothing more frustrating than watching a skilled driver like Alonso trying to hussle an inferior car against an inferior driver in a massively quicker car. Vettel loves it in the quickest car on pole at the front. He would melt faster than chocolate in front of a hot fire if Alonso could get within a sniff of his gearbox. Fact is this season is akin to Williams Renault in 1993 where big nose just walked the championship and Senna was doing heroics to get on the podium.

Nothing crapper than a one horse race

The race behind golden balls was great, why is it always Webber's car that breaks ? If it weren't for the safety car Vettle would have lapped more than half the field, he was more than 2 seconds a lap quicker than anyone!

Pretty dull race.

Eddie Jordan's encounter with Beckham was amusing; I lost count how many times Beckham said 'obviously' during their brief chat.

New rule for 2014, to make the second half of the season remotly interesting, all Germans with names starting with V have to run with a clockwork engine, not one that runs like clockwork.

If you saw the second GP2 race, there was a big accident after the chequered flag thanks to some confusion with the 3rd place driver going straight on to the podium, and the 4th place driver being directed through a gap in the wall for the GP2 paddock.

B0llocks

They're turning it into nancy-boys sport, ffs these guys are supposedly the best drivers in the world, yet not capable of giving someone a lift?

And bring back compulsory smoking, drinking and shagging birds too.

Man the fcuk up F1!
