All Alonso's fault (or the stupid mirrors that Ferrari have), he turned in when Jenson was well up the inside.

Webber.

Reckless driving but I´m used to it now.

A few moore and he is out by the end of the season.

Webber was just being Webber.....

For me it was Schumie: Right behind Alonso at the restart. Had a race long battle with Alguersuari............ALGUERSUARI????????

MS had to actually force the Spaniard of the racing line by making contact..why do you say that passing was not ridiculously hard...??

You got a point no doubt.

Once the front wheels were in the air he had as much control of that car as I did sat on my sofa watching the repeat of the race :laugh: If Kobayashi gets worse marks than Vettel then your marking system has an obvious flaw.

if lewis han not slowed down so much mark would not have hit him

lewis was on the radio after the last stop saying that that set of tyres had gone off so how can he now claim that he did not need to make the last stop for tyres

Once you get within 1 second of the car in front you lose so much downforce that you can not go through the turns as fast as the car you are trying to overtake, which means that you have no chances down the straights.

Stop making excuses for Schumi, his performance was worthy of a donkey by his standards.

Stuck behind a Torro Rosso and having to race wheel to wheel against a Virgin!

It is difficult to pass when you have two cars on similar pace, but Mercedes should not be similar in pace with Torro Rosso.

Wait a minute - you said there were no passes once the track dried. You can't have it both ways.

As for SchM trying to pass Algueserie, Martin did comment that Algueserie was using his formula Ford tactics to block very successfully. When there is only a thin dry line, passing would involve some very difficult maneuvers.

His standards being those of a 3 year retired driver, he is doing great.
If you would have bothered to read a bit before starting the bashing fest you would know what Brawn already said, that the car was damaged more than just the front wing they changed.

Now, go ahead and troll some more.

Lewis was slow because of the aero, not dodgy tyres as he thought. Tyres don't just drop 1.5secs of pace in 2 laps :) Even if it was the tyres then Jenson proved that you could drive through the graining phase and the tyres would come back to him. Brundle made that all fairly clear in the commentary

And Mark hit him when he was braking for a corner, Lewis couldn't have been any faster because Fernando was on the piece of tarmac in front of him. This isn't just another load of British fan defending British driver, it was fairly obvious that Webber was going too fast because he thought he might be able to follow LH through.
