Yes, the greatest commentating of nothing ever; followed by a great win for Jenson.

Lewis needs to grow up imo.

I actually thought it was quite refreshing to see him clapping and actually looking happy for Button.

This will go down as one of the greatest drives.

Shumacher 1995 spa was Amazing.

Button Wins 6 Pit Stops just fantastic.

not to mention 2 collisions, a drive thru penalty, a puncture and coming from last position.
possibly the best drive ever.

this new DRS has made F1 great again

This is not meant to cause controversy but should it be remembered as such a great drive as he did drive his team mate and a potential rival off earlier in the race?

Lewis (once again) went for a gap that wasn't there - Jensen just held the racing line.

Don't get me wrong: L.H. is my favorite driver, but he takes badly timed risks, knowing how the current stewards feel/
act. Needs to temper his urges imo.

Vettel didn't crack, sometimes things just happen, he hit a spot on the track with water, simples, why would he care about Button closing him down, he's not anywhere near him in the title race.

Vettel went offline under severe pressure. Definitely a crack in the armour, at last

Then why did Mclaren and Button himself admit he was in the wrong? The gap was there for him to get the front of his car in and he would have passed him down the straight as he was going a lot faster. Jenson drove across him and squeezed him in to the wall. Jenson claims he didn't see him but my reaction to hitting somebody I didn't see would be "Oh my god I didn't see him". Jenson's was "What was he doing?".

Think this may be a bit political to calm down the situation. Everyone wants a Brit to win and the whole nation would be cheering Lewis on if he Sid not come across and act like a prick at times. He probably has more talent than Jenson but I feel he is warming to the nation more as he seems a genuinely nice guy.

I'm somewhat concerned about the seemingly whimsical production of the safety car by the director.

Surely this opens up a lot of possible angles for "free" pit-stops etc.

    First of all, I have to offer my heartfelt congratulations to Jenson – he drove an absolutely incredible race and thoroughly deserved this victory. It was an utterly fantastic performance, from a truly great driver.

     
    I'm also sorry for the team; they've worked really hard this week and we could have done with the points that a two-car finish would have earned us today.

     
    Although the conditions were very tricky from the start, I had pretty good grip and I was doing the best I could to keep the car on the track; I think I had pretty good race pace, and I didn't have any particular problems.

     
    I touched Mark's [Webber] car after he braked a bit early into the first corner. He left me enough room, but I touched the inside kerb and understeered into him.

     
    Then I started fighting back. After I fell back behind Jenson, he outbraked himself into the final chicane and got a poor exit, so I was able to get a good run on him. It felt to me like I was halfway alongside him down the pits straight – but, as he probably hadn't spotted me, he continued moving across on the racing line.

     
    There was no room for me, so I hit the wall. Of course, I don't think it was intentional: I know Jenson well enough and I know he wouldn't do that. He's a good guy.

     
    So, now, I'll just focus on the next race and the rest of the season. It would be great if we could qualify a little higher up the grid in order to stay out of trouble in Valencia; but our race pace is good and I really want to do well there.

Sure was - that's why his rear wheel hit your front wheel instead of knocking against the side of your cockpit.

hmm i disagree im afriad. im pretty sure vettel will care that he threw the race away inside the last lap. he may well have hit a spot of water, but jenson didnt. motor racing is all about capatalising on tiny mistakes to gain an edge and tiny mistakes are generally made when put under alot of pressure. note how no one else misjudged that corner.

like you say though vettel is still way out in front of the DC, cant see past him in Valencia. he absolutly owned this circuit last season

[MANTIS01]

The racing line was bone dry...hence why everyone was on slicks. Vettel hit a patch of water because he strayed off the racing line. He strayed off the racing line cos he was under pressure from somebody in his rear view driving significantly quicker than him. I loved all the thrills and spills and drama is this grand prix because it's usually so mundane. Oh and yeah, Lewis Hamilton is terrible and reckless. When he gets in the car he seems to want to race and overtake other people. Abs disgusting attitude and is right up there with being a pedo imo.
