YAY come on Sebastian! 1-2 for Red Bull. The low downforce track really has helped. But I still am worried for tomorrow. He barely converts poles into wins.

And he didn't. Frankly I can't stand his attitude anyway, he complains just like Alonso. I hope Mark wins the title. A shame about Lewis though.

Personally, I think he seems a very nice guy who has had to mature very quickly because of his talent. Although he did behave stupidly when he got the penalty today. The rule is ridiculous. What is the point in it anyway? Anyone explain?

This is what the F1 Regulations state regarding the safety car and being 10 lengths:

40.7 All competing cars must then reduce speed and form up in line behind the safety car no more than ten car lengths apart. In order to ensure that drivers reduce speed sufficiently, from the time at which the “SAFETY CAR DEPLOYED” message is shown on the timing monitors until the time that each car crosses the first safety car line for the first time, drivers must stay above the minimum time set by the FIA ECU.

The point it to stop teams giving one driver an advantage by making another driver hold everyone up. Which is what Red Bull demonstrated in that Seb held the pack giving Mark more space, all be it they didn't actually mean too, but the rule still stands.

Just seen the highlights...

Naughty Schumacher... at least he got his 10 place penalty for the next race! On the point of penalties I think that the drive thru which Vettel got was right too.

Its a shame that Lewis didnt finish the race & i reckon he would have ended up fourth or fifth.

Final point ... Congrats to Webber, did a good race - if Lewis or Jenson dont end up winning the drivers title i would be really happy to see him win it as he's having a good season and would definately be a worthy winner!

Missed this race but from watching the highlights it didn't seem too interesting, there was literally no over-taking by the looks of things other than Schumacher's ridiculous move. That accident in the pitlane was waiting to happen, all season they've been building up to a pitlane crash unfortunately.

That was crazy, but I don't understand why Kubica got a stop/go penalty. It was the lollipop man's fault, so Renault should have been fined instead.

Totally agree, Mark Webber would be a worthy winner, in the future myself I'd like to see Nico Rosberg and Felipe Massa become champions.

Personally, even though I am a Vettel fan I have to admit:

1. Mark Webber
2. Lewis Hamilton
3. Sebastian Vettel
4. Jenson Button
5. Fernando Alonso

will be final result. Basically what it is now.
