Well, at least they're not jeering and booing at the black guy like they were last year, eh?

Shall I give you the tissues because they're not shouting Vettel Vettel Vettel?

Winning teams don't stay at the top forever though. Mclaren 88-91 then 98-99. Ferrari 2000-2006 Williams 92-94, etc
Hardly any cheers for Vettel, Alonso practically cheered as if he won. Webber gets more cheers than Vettel.

Adrian Newey is the key to Red Bull's dominance of course

They never are.
They're not Formula 1 fans. They're just Ferrari fans.
They're arseholes.
It seems that Vettel's not just getting boos from the Tifosi these days though, though undoubtedly the Ferrari fans are far too biased, and certainly nothing condones the rudeness of booing a driver.
Strange actually to see them a little bit more sporting towards Mark Webber, he really does seem to be just universally liked!

Hamilton's still got a sad on during his interview.
Really needs to sort his head out and be positive about how well he drove rather than moaning about the end result.

Any foe of Vettel is a friend of the Tifosi

Careful, you might have the union of arseholes suing for defamation ha ha

Back to the good old days of drivers having to think for themselves without being mollycoddled over the radio
Am I mistaken or was there a banana thrown towards Hamilton (albeit a long way away) on lap 9? just after they were getting the Mercedes mixed up on the Beeb. On the screen a yellow object looking like a banana going from right to left, was about 50 metres away though.

Does make you think, maybe there'd be some mileage in banning pit radios and forcing drivers to rely on pit-boards?
Seems like it'd introduce a bit of unpredictability, allow drivers to decide things for themselves and force teams to simplify some of their strategies and tactics.

Drivers would probably say that withholding radio access would be against their human rights
Personally I would ban the radio access

I think you'd need the radio to be there purely for safety reasons, if the team can see from the telemetry that a car's about to have a brake failure or have the suspension collapse then it's safer to have the team be able to tell the driver immediately rather than wait for him to see a pitboard, at which point it may be too late.
Perhaps a better thing to do would be to ban the radio except for when the team urgently needs to speak to the driver because of a safety problem with the car, and have it all monitored by the FIA to make sure it isn't abused.
Reckon the teams would get round such monitoring by blaming a junior mechanic getting on the radio by mistake
