anyways it was hamilton fault, not the accident (the accident was maldonado's fault), the fact he lost points, he was going nowhere with 2 laps left, so it was either a crash with maldonado or lose his position, sooner or later. You are supossed to think on everything when fighting for a championship.

Not that i dislike that he fights and makes the race funnier to watch, but he didnt do his best.

On the other side, ****ing great sunday for alonso, IMO best race he made ever.

Whatever updates Red Bull brought to this race, It worked Nicely.... Vettel was way ahead of the competitors in qualifying ..and in the Race he was nowhere to be seen after fifth lap ..... I hope its not a sign for the rest of the season else we gonna see another one horse race like the previous season

Here's some close ups of Red Bull's new 'double floor.' Panels detached from the body.

I'm excited to see what upgrades are put in play by all the other teams for Silverstone. Most seem to have been waiting for the British Grand Prix to make their next modification.

Seems like its going to be a wet BGP. They're expecting "torrential" rain tomorrow and possibly throughout the rest of the weekend.

I dont understand..... I have seen numerous high impact crashes on F1 since i started following it and almost all the time drivers seems to get out unhurt...... But the ones they get injured in are the weirdest ......... The accident with Massa couple of years back and now this.

well, driving into the back of the lorry with your head would do some damage

NoviceRei · 07-06-2012, 22:51 | posts: 2,113 | Location: Philippines

dang.. that lorry lift could've sliced her head off. i hope the best for her..

Alonso on Pole

Nice to see Schumi starting 3rd. I like watching Mercedes improve.

Congrats Mark. Maldodontknow is reckless.

Black_ice_Spain · 07-08-2012, 14:54 | posts: 4,153 | Location: Spain

great race by webber!, kinda happy by the result here, could be better for Alonso, but webber has to beat ferrari and his own team.

eclap · 07-08-2012, 15:19 | posts: 18,335 | Location: Hampshire UK

Great race from Webber and Alonso. It's good to see Webber beating Vettel. Kimi solid, a bit unlucky with some traffic early on. Maldonado summed up by Perez, he's dangerous and something should be done. Shame there was no rain.

Mercedes and McLaren - just terrible.

Maldo isn't dangerous, just a liability as with any driver.

Took a few pics:

Marussia rules out car failure in Maria de Villota's accident

So it wasn't car's fault...

Alonso on Pole yet again ...... Should be a good race tomorrow if it rains

NoviceRei · 07-22-2012, 01:19 | posts: 2,113 | Location: Philippines

well.. he no longer has the worst car (amongst the front runners or top teams)..

macdaddy · 07-22-2012, 05:27 | posts: 2,297 | Location: AUSTRALIA

please let it rain. Makes for interesting race. Alot of top drivers are in the midfield behind Maldonado. Good luck trying to pass him.

jack_rudolph · 07-22-2012, 15:46 | posts: 220

Great Race once again by Alonso.... It would have been nice if Button passed him... But anyway good Race overall & I think vettel should get penalty for overtaking off the road.

Vandrende Pind · 07-22-2012, 19:20 | posts: 1,178 | Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

cool race, missed some of it tho. hockenheim is a great track, it was one of my favorites in gtr 2.

eclap · 07-22-2012, 19:33 | posts: 18,335 | Location: Hampshire UK

Vettel penalized... hmm, ok, I know the rules say you can't gain advantage off the track, but something just makes me feel that he didn't do much wrong. Button's tyres were shot, you can see him trying to accelerate and he has no traction, sliding all over the place.

Still, it's a fair penalty, but maybe a bit harsh. if anything Vettel should have wait and pick a better moment to overtake.
