4 tyres punctured on 3 different cars in exactly the same place, Pirelli will not have the contract next season :x

Disappointed to see Hamilton doing so well. I'd hoped the puncture would put him out completely, but he lucked into a couple of very favourable safety cars. Can't imagine what McLaren and Lotus were thinking by not pitting during the final safety car. It cost Räikkönen a lot of points and McLaren all of their points.

Lewis the past 2 seasons has changed my opinion of him, he's finally growing up, but I work with a guy who knows him personally and he said that now he's with Nicole he no longer interacts with his mates, she thinks she's a super star and expects Lewis to act like 1 too

Paul DiResta today though, 22nd to 9th, a hell of a drive :o

Kimi should've pitted during the safety car. Cost him a podium, maybe even the win.

I like Tooned - to be fair I think Jenson enjoys doing them. I could imagine there being Tooned in the McLaren days of Mika or Kimi!

Result didn't exactly go my way but still a great race :) would've liked to see Webber just grab the win, and really think it was stupid that raikonnen didn't pit, sometimes I swear I could make better strategy calls than those guys :lol: also some great fight backs including Di Resta, and glad to see Ricciardo doing well, would be interesting to see him as Vettel's team mate, although I do admit he wouldn't push him as much as Raikonnen.

About Hamilton, he is growing up now compared to before but he's still got a fair way to go before reaching the same level of maturity as someone like Button

Button has 1 thing going for him, he never became a superstar, he is still the same guy he was when he came in, and I also like how nobody has ever had a bad word to say against him on tv or magazines, people genuinelky like the guy, and I hope when he retires he comes in to commentary, because Ilove hos post race analysis aswell

Button is probably the only person that could replace Brundle in the commentary box.

There's a couple of guys who are really good, Webber is fantastic on camera, really natural, I like Paul Di Resta aswell, Hamilton sounds like he's reading a script all the time though

I'd love Webber to do it, he'd be fantastic! But I don't think anyone would trust him not to say anything that could be deemed "offensive" :rolleyes: :lol:

Thinking of going the young drivers test at Silverstone in July, only £15 a ticket.
