Well then, how was that for a Formula 1 race? boring? i think not.

Havnt seen a crash like that in Motorsport in a very long time... good to see Mark walk away from it, amazing to see how safe Formula 1 has got... it was reminiscent of Lemans at Road Atlanta, Porsche 911 GT1 all them many moons ago... Nonetheless a very good race,

Drive of the race for me was Kobayashi

Very impressed with Jensons and Hamilton, and of course hats off to Vettel.

What is Alonso's problem, he has got a serious bee in his bonnet towards Hamilton and Maclaren. All because Hamilton showed him up with his driving ability when he was with Maclaren. He needs to get over himself or i feel it will get nasty.

Yep i totally agree. It should be water under the bridge but clearly he has a grudge.

Onto the race though. Just goes to show how safe the cars are nowadays. I don't think anyone was to blame for it though. 'Love' the fact people are trying to lay it on someone. Christian Horner has his head screwed on atleast. It was a racing incident for me.

Totally agree, its very easy to blame the other person but a racing incident never the less. Awesome crash though reminded me of the Mercedes at Lemans a couple of years ago.

"what is Hamiltons postition before and what is his position now?" Well we all know the FIA, if it isn't red then its naughty. The thing that i don't get is that it was under SAFETY car anyway, big deal. Watching Alonso slow down the pack behind to pathetic speeds concerned me more...

I Didn't think it was going to be a very good race as theres no real overtaking places apart from down the straight. Was I wrong or what!?!?
Kobayashi was immense, as for Webber and Kovalainen's crash I think it was a silly move on Webber's part.
There was no need for him to slip stream that Lotus to the very end of the straight. The red bull has so much more top speed and cornering speed he could have just either beaten the Lotus under braking or on the exit of the corner.
Both drivers were lucky there, it is a credit to the safety built into these cars!!

As for Alonso he needs to get off his high horse and get on with his job rather than moaning about everything that doesn't quite go his way.

Mclaren upgrade fell to pieces... needs more work... lets hope hamilton can make a few good moves in the opening laps tommorow ...carrying on with newey jokes: Adrian newey has so much downforce he can fly upside down in a helicopter.

Guys what do you think about the webber -vettel incident -> vettel damaged one of the two NEW front wings in practice and they gave him webber's in quali ...unfair much?

Never underestemate JB. People said he couldn't win a race, he did, people said he could never be world champion, he is! I think there is a fair chance of the Mclarens taking very good positioning and a lot of points by the end of the race today. Im excited.

Im betting

1) Jenson Button
2) Mark Webber
3) Lewis Hamilton
4) Sebastian Vettel

this isnt to do with F1!

craig your mad, i dont think button stands much chance unless something serious upfront happens.
i think vettels got this one, unless unhappy webber drives straight into him at the first bend lmao.

[maggies_minder]

pmsl i wasnt far off was i about webber.
i hope buttons watching his mirrors with kobayashi right behind him.

man i feel for vettel but like brundle said he should have kept his head.

My auntie and uncle has got a seat on the front row at Stowe. I'm Jelous. I guess thats an upside for working for vodafone.

[miniQ]

There is a video on youtube of jenson and lewiss going round in a minivan giving out tickets (vodafoneUK youtube) and apparently they asked one guy and he said "you've gotta be f*cking joking" (rejecting the tickets)- simply because he doesnt want to go :/ wierd eyyy?

[Jordie]

yeah thats right.

They did a free give away including tickets for race day at random shops, petrol stations etc.
