Haha, he sounded pretty frightened that he was gonna be caught when he hit traffic.

Dammit! No, surprises, but it was a more entertaining race.

Sam, I'm sorry for your nation's loss at lap 9. Vettel strikes again!
I missed the race

Or I already watched it since it was the same as the last 5...
It was better than the last couple as Grosjean was fast. It was too bad Hamilton destroyed his chances right in the beginning. Seeing him battling with Grosjean & maybe fighting for the top of the podium would've been cool.

As a MW fan i just kept shaking my head... The TCS "like" system intrigues me... if they have figured that out that's quite a feat!

I feel terrible for Webber, RBR took that win away from him. Shame for sure.

Yea, I agree. I wonder if he knew what the gap was if he would've just stayed out.

I really hate RBR almost as much as I hate Vettel

Perhaps I should have clarified that I don't necessarily agree with Sir Stirling Moss, but it's an interesting viewpoint from a bygone era. I, too, would rather have the safety record that they have now. Entertainment isn't worth lives.

Yeah, the race strategy of RBR was clearly skewed in favor of Vettel despite all of the "we'll let the boys race" comments during pre-race. Even so, it was still a very enjoyable race to watch with plenty of good scrap throughout the field. I love Suzuka.

Yes Mark was clearly the faster (I think) of the two RBR drivers. He had one extra pitstop and an annoying Romain in front of him and he still finished second!
