Donkey of the race

I would also like to add Ferrari for having mirrors that aren't actually in the drivers peripheral vision.

I have a small herd of donkeys for this race. Webber made too many mistakes. Hamilton behaved once more like a spoiled brat. Massa had to be told by his engineer how to take the last corner. The fact he finished 3rd was pure luck. The Schumacher again looked average in an average car. Thank you very much for coming back and showing us how little statistcs mean. I was also very disappointed to see Lotus starting the race with just one car.

Unfortunately, Webber was trying to follow Hamilton through past Alonso and had nowhere to go, taking out Hamilton in the process.

Mark was still going far too quick for that corner. Okay so he said that the nose was raised but IMO he gambled too much on Hamilton getting through on one of the best drivers in the business.

I don't get this...he's frustrated so showed it. People can't have it both ways and moan that he's being a "mclaren robot" then moan when he shows he's angry. Give the guy a break, he could have scored a podium were it not for an enitrely dumb team call and then Webber having total brain fade.

You want him to say he was happy with the result and getting some points?

Lewis showed a complete lack of class IMO. It wasn't that he complained, it was the way that he did it.

No! Everytime things are not going his way in the team, he is whining! Alonso was like this in Renault and McLaren (although in the latter case I think that he had good reasons), and I am really happy that he was different yesterday, unlike Lewis. I so hoped that he won't be like this, I think that if he loses another race in which Jenson is 1st he'd say that he is a second driver. Hopefully I am wrong.

Moan is one thing, public moaning on purpose is another.

What is his agenda?

The other day Lewis was arrested, huh, no moaning from the team!

I´m afraid Lewis isn´t Martins closest love anymoore.

I'm actually starting to think that maybe replacing Webber with Kimi for 2011 wouldn't be a bad idea at all. :p :

The task of a second driver is to collect the goods, when the first driver has hit trouble, but Webber has done none of it so far. Quite staggering that Vettel still has twice as many points as Webber, despite suffering from two car failures in two races against Webber's zero. Webber is clearly fast and when he doesn't make mistakes, he is very close to Vettel's pace (one tenth off in qualifying in Oz), but something has been clearly wrong with his head in the beginning of this season. Not to mention that Webber has a reputation of being a dangerous driver by pushing off the track or ramming drivers (Alonso Spain'09, Barrichello Germany '09).

That is a very good article, as ever from James.

I just think people read way too much into it - he had huge pace yesterday but got shunted out. the post-race interview he was angry, and who wouldn't be. I bet today he is more restrained because he sees how things played out but 5 mins after the race i'd expected nothing less than what he showed.

The radio conversation was a different matter. That showed immaturity but then this is only his third season.

Lewis' biggest issue was his qualification performance that wasn't up to his usual standards and that put him under pressure. Not to mention the police incident...all in all not a great weekend for him

I apologize. I forgot we don't want pr robots anymore. So if he reacted like a spoiled brat, his natural way, I should be glad and even like him for it, right?
