hmm very strange apparently the race was called after 54 laps rather than 56 which means Kobayashi's overtake on Bianchi is reversed, hmm kind of glad Ricciardo didn't catch and pass Alonso as that would also have been reversed and Ricciardo would have been taken off of the podium again

Wow!! For a multi-gazillion $ series, this year's F1 is descending into a farce.
i find the whole chequered flag thing kind of amusing. that poor guy who waved it must feel really embarrassed don't think he'll get much sleep tonight.
anyway it looks like Merc are romping away with the championship this year. wonder if we'll see a repeat of 1988 with one team winning all but one of the races - or maybe Merc can go one better and win all of the races this season.
but i wonder if Red Bull can't maybe sneak a win in Spain, they've always gone well at that circuit.

Agreed, that there is pure bullshit and a farce, seriously.......Wow!! For a multi-gazillion $ series, this year's F1 is descending into a farce.
Massa until now wins the championship as the driver with the best starts, he looks like possessed by the devil.
Unfortunatelly that first pit stop totally ruined his race...
Bottas was cruising all race.

Keep Fighting
Interesting logic out there...
Vettel is hated because he is not a "good teamplayer"...
... at same time people love Alonso. Yup, a great example of teamplayer. Ask Piquet Jr.!!

I hate Alonso almost as much i hate Vettel, I just think he's a much better driver.

Neither I like Alonso or Vettel.
How you can "hate" any sportsman without ever meeting or talking to them is beyond me..
Well, hate is a very strong word, to strong in this situation, I guess dislike is more fitting, and from how both Vettel and Alonso have behaved publicly in the past it is beyond me anyone can like them (or even not dislike them). But each to his own, I don't care if my best friend is a Vettel fan, even if I can't understand it.
I must admit that was a pretty boring race, but it probably got amplified by being right next to Bahrain.
Oh well, Hamilton seems to be on a roll, I hope Rosberg can get his act together so there's a fight for the championship.
Good job by Alonso, but the Ferrari is still behind Red Bull pace-wise, they had good strategy calls. If Ricciardo hadn't been kept on softs for so long, he would have been on the podium. As for Vettel, he pushed too hard trying to overtake Alonso and that killed his left front tyre. He was basically limping around at the end of the second stint. After he changed tyres he was fast again.
Massa's tyre change was awesome Also nice start, looks like they have worked on making those suspensions a bit more durable.

I think that Massa was going to finish at the 5th or 6th position if it wasnt that mess on the pitstop. He is getting better but his luck is still very very down =(
Yeah the race was pretty much a snoozefest, got to agree on that, let's hope for more races like Bahrain!
If you don't like what Vettel has done, then there must be no driver on earth that you have ever liked. He's been relatively clean, and don't mention Multi 21, because you know Webber would've done exactly the same in that situation. In fact, he did, or tried to, on a few occasions.
If that's the worst he's done, I wouldn't mind having as clean a conscience as him.
Alonso, yes, there you have a point.
Thats what gets me...... but what also gets me is the defending the person with knowing the person either.
Stop people bashing and defending without the facts, because nobody cares less...
Haha
I thought that Alonso was lucky not to get a penalty for moving over into Massa at the start. If the accident had turned serious and Alonso was called Romain It would have been a one race ban.
