I am not sure what you think "driving well" means, because if a driver can take another pitstop and still close down a 24 second gap to alonso with a real chance of passing them then you certainly don't understand the concept of driving an F1 car.

Exactly.

I find it laughable when people try to belittle the opposition even when their less than stellar favorite manages to luck into a win, it must be some kind of exacerbated inferiority complex showing it's ugly head.

My point wasn't opinion, just check out for the past years and you will find boring and exciting races on every F1 track. That's a fact, not an opinion.

As of second round, the Japanese driver takes an early lead as the fool of the season given the rules I wrote at the beginning, having retired from both races with mechanical failures, creating and accident with yellow flags, etc...

explain to me how kobayashi is a fool when his car breaks down on him. By your analysis then vettel is an even bigger fool right? i detect a hint of distaste in your comments with regard to japanese drivers. why label him as "the japanese driver?" this is not A1GP

No kidding? Only one guy manages to stick two passing moves on the very limit of the track while 5 cars follow each other covered by 3 seconds for 10 laps without being able to overtake and you say it isn't extremely difficult?!
Let me know what's your definition for extremely difficult cause I am not sure that we have the same idea about it.

Some people never get the facts before posting they just post based on their stereotypes, which is a huge shame.

that is pretty much how I see it. MSC showed good form this weekend and the conditions were right for him to make a good move. Its a shame we did not get to see him fighting it out with the other guys. Given the circumstances, its actually pretty good to finish with some points

Well Barrichello passed de la Rosa, likewise Schumacher and Alguersuari got past Pedro - i never said it was easy, but let's face it, it was easier than we have seen previously in dry races.

Also there would have been a good chance than Webber would have overtaken Alonso and Hamilton, Rosberg also, as Rosberg almost got Fernando anyway, so Lewis and Mark would have, had they not collided.

Did it occur to you that the 5 cars were very closely matched? Since when in recent memory (i.e. last few years) have we seen a 5 car battle for second position? Anyway, the cars on fresher tyres had a legitimate shot at passing them in the closing laps. In a way, Rosberg did, but it would have been a heck of a scrap without the crash at the end.

Exactly, he got SOMETHING out of the weekend, which could have been a lot worse for him. He possibly had some handling trouble after the first lap incident as well, which won't have helped him.

plus Jaime did more than make it difficult for MSc to pass. some of his maneuvers where borderline. Anyway the next race is 6 days away and I think it will be a tight one.

btw did Vettel get a penalty for his move on Kubica last year?
