    Well that should silence anyone who says that Vettel can't overtake. For a few minutes at least.

    Might have been frustrating as a Hamilton fan seeing Schumi harm his afternoon big time, but it was damn good to watch!

    As far as good to watch? this race has pretty much been a stinker as far as the season goes. No real challenge for the win at all. This artificial drizzling of overtaking does not make up for the fact that the same guy is going home with the spoils again, and that this championship has turned out to be a one horse race.. :unimpressed:
    We have to hope for an 88 or a 99 :dry:

    Yeah, the battle is for second in the WDC now really. Hopefully next season is going to be more competitive!

    To bad we'll only be seeing half of it live.

    I just wish EJ would stop telling us that this is the most exciting season he's ever seen? Is he on amphetamines?

    Makes me think what if they hadn't froze engine development. Works Mercs should have been on pole from the Mclarens, Ferraris, Works Renault, Red Bull and maybe Force India....

    At first Renault had a disadvantage when engine development froze, and they were allowed to mak e the difference up. What about Cosworth? surely they were given the same right?

    Nope. :/

    I don't think the italians will be happy with a third, Alonso could still take button and get a second, but I think its pretty much a guarranteed win for Vettel.

    All Hamilton needed was one more lap and he would've taken Alonso

    So close! His string of fastest laps gave me hope there!

    Look at all the Tifosi! Even 3rd felt like a win! I loved the sea of red along the straight! I feel proud!

    Why is Vettel uncatchable

    Any ideas?

    Maybe because he has a new helmet at the start of the race!!

    Because that Red Bull is a beast, if you put Alonso, Button, Hamilton, Rosberg or Schumacher, maybe even Massa in that Red Bull they'd be uncatchable too.

    I think if it wasn't for the battle between Schumi and Hamilton that race would have been really dull, so little happened

    That was not a battle.. that was Schumi holding Hamilton up.
    Hamilton could have won that race if it were not for Schumi

    EDIT : People are obviously getting confused by what appeared to be a close fight. :dry:
