Well its safe to say Hamilton had the better weekend of the two this time around. A brilliant lap in quali, but I had my doubts about race performance with the weather being so hot. Merc still have issues keeping the tyres cool when running heavy fuel and both Merc drivers were suffering from front tyres overheating. It seems they find the sweet spot in the last 20 laps though when the car becomes lighter. Too late often though. I thought Hamilton put in a blinder though for the second race in a row. Secured decent points considering the issues he had and put up a great fight with Alonso. It was great to see two experienced WDC's go wheel to wheel but also demonstrating the respect they have for each other in terms of being fair. Enjoyable to watch.

It's clear now that Merc's issues with overheating their tires are directly tied to track temperature. They have been suffering these issues for nearly two years now, they really need to begin to get on top of it with all the resources they have at their disposal.

What about Vettel stating numerous times during his championship campaigns with Red Bull, the desire to one day drive for Ferrari?
It brought a lot of heat towards Horner in 2010 and 2011 and he made the comments twice in a week in one instance. I have nothing against that at all and don't blame a driver discussing his long term plans but it strikes me as falling into the disloyalty category if judged through the bitter and hypocritical ideals of someone else here. Although I find it amusing, its food for thought and entertainment for the rest of you..

Anyway, you are getting off topic.

Ha.
Well it seems I came up with something rather inconvenient lol. I wonder why Vettel jumped to Red Bull from Toro Rosso when he could have stayed in the Red Bull family but given himself a bigger challenge with his original team? If I was in the same position I would go to the team that gave me a better car and the better chance to win the championship, just like Seb did. Drivers move all the time and have done throughout history. Real F1 fans know this of course lol..
