It's hard to care about this race since it's already boring enough. Add to the fact that Vettel's already won it, just makes it extra boring. Hopefully I'm proven wrong and it's like the last round of MotoGP.... :bowdown:

They've always had different outfits for practice/quali this year. Some of them have been pretty cool, most have looked stupid. I have no clue why though...

those uniform tops that McLaren wear after victory in the interviews look so goofy... like space suits. ive heard before they make them wear a different top bc they look "better" in the interviews. not a fan

And the double DRS zone was fucking retarded. First one lets the driver behind pass, second one lets the guy who was passed retake his position.

That was a pretty boring race... i really have nothing to say about it... the double drs was stupid, but if it wasn't for that, there wouldn't be any passing...
beautiful track though...

Lewis outta nowhere.

Vettel's puncture and Button's KERS issues cost us any real racing up front.

:rofl: @ all the blue flag issues.

When Button wins, it's "what's wrong with Lewis" and then when Button gets beaten it's "Hamilton's back, hip hip hoorah!" from the Beeb crew. For fuck sake, stfu. :madfawk:

To be fair, Button typically wins on crafty strategery where as Lewis will typically win on raw pace and aggression.

On paper, Lewis 'should' always win, all things being equal, but Button seems able to make an unusual strategery decision work out better.

But the entire ending to the broadcast was about "look how nice it is to see how Lewis is happy again." For fucks sake, I'm watching a race...

If that's the case, at least compare the 2 when Button has a good car...That's what bothered me the most about today's BBC's coverage. Especially DC's comment about how Button cannot extract as much from the car as Lewis can as seen by this race. Are you kidding me? He had a KERS issue that forced him to reset the system every 2 laps and fucked with his brake balance the entire time. And he managed to get 3rd with all of that...What more do they expect?

Jenson put it best 2 weeks ago when they ask him what they thought was wrong with Lewis...

"I don't give a fuck."
