    Well, was that not the most awkward podium you've ever seem?!

    Great scrap but Webber deserved the win. I would love to be a fly on the wall in that team meeting

    Disgusting behaviour by Herr Vettel but these johnny foriegners are all the same! I hope Webber makes a BIG issue about it. I know he's an Aussie but we shoud forgive him as he lives just down the road in Aston Clinton, and owns the Stag (pub/ restaurant) in Mentmore

    So therefore it must be in Webber's contract that the team would tell Seb to back off? no
    It's just the usual last stint 'that's all folks'.
    It was a very enjoyable race up to Seb's bone headedness. But then the boos he got last week for no apparent reason might have messed his mindset up somewhat.

    I can't warm to Vettel, but he is a racing driver, and he's entitled to race. (Yes, I know it is a team sport, but let's face it Senna wouldn't have stood for it.)

    This was for the most part a dull, drive to a pace that doesn't wear out the tyres, race. Vettel certainly livened proceedings up but by going against team instructions, and more so by breaking a moral code, is going to pay for it.

    I like Vettel (out of the car) he seems like a nice chap and he's blinding fast. However he doesn't have full control of his emotions in the heat of battle. Basically red mist got the better of him (again). He knows he f*cked up hence the grovelling apologies, but he's gonna have to get used to a lot more boo's on podiums from now on.

    Mercedes (Rosberg) showed how to orchestrate a team finish correctly but given Hamilton's more extreme fuel issues they'd probably have been better off letting Rosberg past to put a bit more pressure on the Red Bull's. I guess they (Ross Brawn) knew they couldn't get at the RB's so called the race done after the last pit stop. Just as Red Bull tried to.

    I was pleased to see Alonso screw up as well Perhaps being out qualified by his team mate 4 times on the trot is getting to him, I certainly hope so.

    This sort of thing has ended catastrophically in the past - I am thinking most particularly of the San Marino / Zolder - Peroni / Villeneuve incident.
