Was a bad crash to say the least, glad Hamilton kept second, looking forward to silverstone

suprised nobody has already posted here yet ...

Anyway... back on topic: I'm glad for Mark Webber after having had to give his upgraded front wing to Seb Vettel and still won the race (obviously with a little bit of help from Lewis givin Vettel a touch and a puncture ). I knew that something was going to kick off between the two Red Bull drivers - something tells me one of them wont be there next year (most likely Webber will leave).

It was a decent race for Lewis - he did what he needed to at the first corner and kept it together for a good 2nd place finish & kept his lead in the championship.

The safety car for Jenson worked out perfectly for him & finishing 4th after starting 14th i reckon he will be happy ... obviously its not the podium finish he wants but as i said to finish 4th from starting 14th he surely cant be too mad!

Fernando Alonso, LOL! Well i think it was harsh to have been given a drive-through penalty after Kubica went out, but hey what can you do! He's not havin a good last couple of race is he... at least he got to see Spain win the WC!

I think the new section at silverstone has helped over taking and makes for great racing, I also love the new safety car rules as it bunches up the field alot more. got my tickets for the German Grand Prix and I cannot wait

Can't believe how fast Ferrari have been this weekend, yet another Vettel pole though Hoping to see both McLarens fight each other tomorrow with Hamilton getting then better of Button and a podium

Aha Vettel got what he deserved trying to pin Alonso to the wall (I hate it when drivers do that). Alonso to win hopefully

Team Orders, what a disgrace.

[CJW93]

Disgusting.

Ferrari have been fined $100,000 for breaching sporting regulations after appearing to implement team orders during the German Prix. The Italian team has also been referred to the sport's governing body, the FIA, after Felipe Massa slowed down to allow team-mate Fernando Alonso past to win.

This is a travesty. So they have been fined and is that all the punishment they get?

[Catzsy]

Link doesn't work Matt but here is another one:

It said that the penalty would be: "Fine $100,000. The case will also be referred to the FIA World Motorsport Council for further consideration

Case is further being considered. I hope they get disqualified. Really put a shadow over the race as far as I was concerned.
