Ideal race for Vettel really; a win and a couple of championship no-hopers on the podium with him.
Great race from Kobayashi and also pleased to see Massa get a podium too. He really only seems to come alive when Alonso isn't in the race. |

Alonso can't undertand why Kimi didn't lift off. Because he didn't have to.
![]() Can't see any point in Grosjean going to the next race as surely he is going to pick up another ban |

Bit of a boring race, but seeing Kobayashi so delighted was great

It's been an odd weekend for McLaren and a very subdued drive from Lewis. Jenson did well but a podium was just out of reach. But it is fair to say the McLaren has a very narrow sweetspot as regards setup.

Ohferchristssake.
Tell me Vettel isn't going to win three straight championships. This is absurd. The combined power of the biggest names in motorsport, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes et al, can't beat a freakin' soft drinks company?? |

Lewis Hamilton-Just noticed @jensonbutton unfollowed, thats a shame. After 3 years as teammates, I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't.
You would have thought he would have waited till the end of the season

Need to be on Twitter more!' ...and is currently trending in the UK as a result. He's getting some stick on there as many people already knew that Jenson had never followed him! I'm sure the PR team at McLaren think Lewis needs to be on Twitter less not more though - must be about his 5th Twitter mishap.

I used to be a fan of Lewis, but not any more. His attitude over the past year has changed my thoughts on him. What is up with him being a wannabe-rapper in his twitter picture.
XIX Management being hired as his management was a stupid move and no doubt the cause of all this. |

Pretty uninteresting race but good to see Kobayashi make the podium at his home race, I hope he gets a drive next year. It looks as if Red Bull now have the upper hand and a third title for Vettel now looks a distinct probability.

He also needs to start acting his age and stop trying to be some gangsta rappper, re his photo on twitter Strange though, button and Lewis have never followed each other, button has just started following Perez. Maybe Lewis and button have never got on with each other. I believe Lewis and alonso even follow each other. Now, there is no law to say team mates have to follow each other on twitter, just find it interesting. I think at lot of interesting news articles are going to come out this winter regarding mclaren, Lewis and button, don't think it's all sweet and wonderful at Mclaren these days. |

They didn't say much more than that but it was said in response to my friend telling them he thought Jenson and Lewis would get on great together. |

He's a prized pr*ck. He's got no chance at Mercedees when that silver spoon stops drip feeding him.

Thing is, Ross Brawn isn't daft. He'll know if Hamilton comes with any "needs" and he'll be prepared to cater to them. If Hamilton needs somebody to tell him when to pit for wet tyres or how big the gap to the next car is Brawn will ensure that he gets somebody to do that for him. The only time Lewis is ever going to come unstuck, if at all, is when he's not in demand. If, in years to come, he's "just another driver looking for a seat" then team owners are gonna expect him to bring something extra to the table, in addition to the heavy right-foot which many young drivers can supply, and that's when he's going to need to prove he can motivate a team, develop a car and make the tough decisions which can sometimes win races in a car that doesn't deserve it. |

Not the first time Hamilton has created problems via his Twitter account...another sports person who needs to learn how to use it?
