Vettel does it again, with 5 of us predicting that, and 8 of us thinking he can't possibly do it yet again! :shock: ....but he did. :laugh:

Lindosfan had the best race with 13 points, and Parahandy used his pit stops wisely to maneuver into a tie for the lead with Randy at 73 points.

Hamilton unfortunately has started to play the "race" card with some of his comments therefore I don't expect him to do too well here on out unless he gets his head straightened out.

The Canadian GP in two weeks time on June 12 is next up. Good luck to all! :thumb: Pete :cheers:

That was going to be one of the best finishes of a grand prix ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vettle with his tyres going off, Alonso up his arse and Button on fresher tyres up his arse.

Then boom! all spoiled by back markers crashing. What a shame. :(

Why were they allowed to change tyres on the grid? Spoilt the whole thing for me.

Idiots... :cuss:

Totally agree, but I don't think that the result would have been any different had it not been red flagged. Vettel soaks up pressure like a sponge soaks up water, and like I soak up, well, beer...

By sheer luck (nothing to do with 'using your skill and judgement...') I seem to have joined you at the top. Do you think that we have peaked too early, or are you not allowed to say that on the BBC?

There's only one way to go from here...

Enjoy -

Bahrain is back on the schedule for October 30. Stay tuned as I imagine it will be scrapped again if things flare up. Pete :cheers:

I just checked and qualifying starts at 1300 hours Montreal time on Saturday, so you have plenty of time. Pete :cheers:
