too fcuking right you need to replay all the highlights

with 563 add breaks we missed any chance of watching it live

[ctjet]

turning point my ass

the main reason nando was anywhere near the bulls was that they didnt have to use the hard tyres at any point during the race

[R31Nismoid]

Breaks ruined some of the best parts of the fken race

[stR33ter]

Joined the hate on the Red Bull page

[Nee-san]

As soon as I heard horner say that I knew there was gonna be alot of haters hating, Lol.

[Arcos]

Webber says he ignored multiple calls to hold position; Here

And he wasn't happy about receiving them either

[boiracer]

kinda understandable from a "lets make sure vettel wins" point of view.

but if it had been the other way. Vettel still woulda had a good lead and Webber would have had a few more solid points to ensure (more likely) a redbull 1 & 2 for the season. stupid decision, but some epic racing last night. other than homos barging massa around, no tears shed here tho, all in good fun

[dezz]

Exciting end to the race! And my boy Alonso taking the win!

Woulda topped it off if massa got Hamilton at the end, but can't have it all

And Horner f**ked that one up nicely. Having said that, I don't think webber wouldve got him without a few more laps anyway.

Best news of the day! The diffuser shambles is now over thanks to scuderia jihad comming to the party

Let's hope is a season long decision hey

[sh@un]

Holy crap that wire cam gives an awesome shot

It's Epic to the power of Wicked

ricciardo is last on the track. DR has made up 6 spots though

yes, but only by virtue of the misfortune of others

he 'pulled a Bradbury'

real smart move for a bloke in contract negotiations... hello new clause for next year...

[Roy]

I say good on him Harry. They both raced tough and clean to the line. Nice work all round. Seems Horner wants to run a Nanny state team

[Angus Smart]

So blown Diffusers...

so many u turns i am unsure where the F its all at.

were they running them 100%? or was it 10? 20? 50?

and whats instore for the rest of the season now?

[limpus]

The no.2 driver being told not to pass the no.1 driver...nooo...how dare they...seriously...

[hrd-hr30]

I prefer to see racing right to the line too, but don't think it was smart to break team orders while he's just started negotiating with them for next season, for a low percentage chance of getting 2nd place.

He was all despondant after the race too, so it seems he didn't even get any personal satisfaction from his act of defiance.

In all likelihood, RBR will ensure that this doesn't happen again next year if they re-sign him.

Might have been worth it if it was over a GP victory, but to stuff up your contract negotiations over a 2nd place which he couldn't get anyway... not very clever.

...whats instore for the rest of the season now?

at this rate, we'll be getting a new rule every couple of days

dont bother trying to keep up, just watch and try to enjoy

[sh@un]

they forgot his wheel nut

wouldnt you reckon they would run down and screw it on so he can keep going

that rattlegun dude probably starts his new position as a janitor at the MTC today

pretty sure they can't work on the car outside of pit lane speed limit lines barring the installation process

[R32Big_boy]

The tyre mechanic wasn't at fault. they were changing rattle guns as the first one failed when the controller release JB. That's why in the footage you can see two guns.

Team has no right to be issuing such orders in the first instance. 'Maintain the gap' is fooling nobody.

The day a race driver gives up on a sniff of a chance at a fair pass on his team-mate and settles for one place lower is the day he joins the ranks of other legendary hall-of-famers like Barrichello and Massa.
