Button started making his charge way too late in the race. He could have caught Vettel, but that lap traffic held him up. I think without that lap traffic, the end of this race would have been awesome. But once again, its another boring race (except for Schumacher's crash).

I'm so sick of Vettel.

Thats a bit ironic. Schumacher being the interesting part of the race...being as Vettel is making a decent repeat of the Schumcher years.


And agreed. Maybe he was hoping for a repeat of Montreal? Hit the charge and late and hope that Vettel runs out of the clean line again attempting to keep the gap.

Yeah I think so, but I wish Button would have started his charge about 5 laps sooner than he did.

I wonder if any of the other drivers, well except Schumacher I guess, lol, are getting tired of hearing the German national anthem played every 2 weeks, lol.

Paul di Resta did well, strategy different from others worked out for him.
I still thinks if Button really gets too close to Vettel, Seb can still pull enough time to keep P1. He still got lots of potential in the Red Bull.

Does anyone else thinks Massa is a bit of drama queen now???

Had he started earlier Vettel I suspect would have just responded right back but agreed it may have made for something more interesting

I'm sure Vettel still has .7 in the bag easily...or even faster if he had to....

C'mon Massa, get over with...its just racing....shit happens...and he just blames everything happens to him now on him, as if Hamilton ruined his "race victory"....

Is it just me felt the best overtaking from this race was from Mark Webber, just pure skill and balls and didn't bother to use artificial overtaking tool - DRS...

I'm sure Vettel didn't stress over Button's closing in. If he had to wring it out, he would have.

Great finish for DiResta as a rookie, and it sucked seeing MSC go out when he was fastest man on the track. I think Perez lifted way early.

That wreak was entirely MSC's fault. He was hounding Perez for 2 corners he was driving up his ass!!!!

Its not even racing, MSC was obviously faster no reason why MSC had to be as aggressive as he was when he more than likely wouldve taken him on the next corner regardless.

This is the first season I've been truly following F1 so I'm still learning alot but it seems to me that Hamilton drives like an ass. I'm not referring to today's race specifically but he seems like a jerk and he is always in some wreck/controversy. Anyone else agree or am I way off?

but same goes to Hamilton, even served a drive thru penalty and still back up to P5 where strategy and good racing afterwards....Massa hasn't been competitive all season anywayz...

He's always been aggressive driver, but this year definitely takes the cake.

Massa had to crawl back to the pit on 3 tires. Granted, Hamilton had wing damage, but I'd rather have that than my rear right tire missing.

I can kind of see where he's coming from though. He definitely needed a good result, especially after the mediocre year he's had, so this didn't help.

That Red Bull is unstoppable. I think they'll still carry this momentum over to next year

I slept through most of the second half but saw Button start to close the gap which was nice, hopefully Suzuka will be more interesting.

Webber had a couple ballsy overtakes.

Great to see Force India doing well.

Massa needs to quit bitching or just go to NASCAR or something.

That race was epicly boring!

Hopefully one day I will see refueling back in my beloved sport.

Could you imagine figuring out fuel strategy with these crazy tires!
