Love Graham Swann's reaction to this in the race:

Absolutely class.... :D
Well done Jenson Button supreme race win... best grand prix in ages and well worth the 2 hour rain delay however is it just me or was the restart way too long under the safety car... try track was ready for inters by the time he released it.... health and safety gone mad?? Also dont think the race should have started under the safety car... spoiled the initial part of the race... discuss!!
Still think when Button overtook Webber on the wet part of the track with Webber all over the shop was an amazing overtake, best of the race for me. But 6 pit stops, last place after the Alonso encounter and after the safety car to overtake everyone to win is fairly epic :) <3

I know what you mean but this year the excitement is in the middle of the field not the front so even if Vettel is doing really well its still worth watching.

I think someone needs a fresh pair of underwear.
I still see M. Schumacher as "rain king" in f1, 4th place is amazing result considering what he drives atm
The race was very entertaining, except the 2 hour interruption. Race control was not doing a good job imo. The safetycar start was justified, since the first two corners are way too dangerous with all the spray and so many cars. But they should've started the race immediately at the end of the first lap, no need to go around a few times.
I also agree with eVo that after the rain delay the safetycar period was waaaaay too long. A couple of laps would've been enough to clear the water from the hairpin and the long straight. If they restarted earlier the race would've been even better, because the first couple of laps would've been epic. Also it wouldn't have been that dry in the end, which was a shame because Red Bull and Button obviously have the best cars for those conditions.
I'm curious what they're going to do with Hamilton. After his wild ride in Monaco he was on probation, but yesterday he behaved even worse: taking off Webber, almost taking out Schumacher and then eliminating himself and almost taking out Button with him. Imo a one race suspension would be in order to let him cool off.
Are you kidding me????
Webber was a racing incident nothing more, even Webber has agreed with that.
Taking out Schumacher??? At what point was that... you mean the bit where Schumacher squeezed Hamilton onto the grass in the wet????
With Button he was again not in the wrong, he was way faster after Button made a mistake and Button apologised saying he didn't see him when he ran him into the wall.
- with Webber he should've backed out of the fight. He wasn't in a good position in the first place, then the tried to squeeze his car next to Webber in the first corner. Where the fuck does he want to go? The second corner is to the right, no way he's going to pass Webber on the outside there. He didn't back out, he got into a slide from the kerbstone and pushed Webber around.
- with Schumacher he also wasn't in a good position to attack, still he braked way too late and tried to use the space on the outside as run-off area. Yes, Schumacher went a bit to the left to have a better angle for the hairpin. But that Hamilton got in trouble on the outside putting his car a bit on the grass, was his own stupid mistake, which could've ended badly for both of them (or at least one of them).
- with Button he got a better run of the last chicane and tried to go to the outside. Button normally went to the left side of the track and even a blind man could see that there was no space to go around the outside. Still Hamilton put half the car besides Button and expected a miracle that Button would wave him through. Of course Button wasn't angry anymore after the race, since he won. But his initial reaction "what the hell is he doing?" clearly stated how he felt.
Summary: Hamilton just doesn't know when to back out and dives into holes that aren't really there. After 5 incidents in 2 races somebody should give him some time to cool off.
Both these quotes sum it up for me, i do believe you're being ridiculous in your statement about the schumi incident, he knew exactly what he was doing putting Hamilton on the grass and if you listen to the coverage when they discuss that they actually said had Hamilton not gone out of the race Schumacher could have been in for a penalty there, what he did was dangerous however i actually like to see that kind of aggressive driving from Schumacher, shows he still has that fight in him.
In all the overtakes in F1 this season Hamilton has done 1/10 himself, he is the kind of driver you want in the sport and trust me Vettel is way way more dangerous when he doesn't have the car and is required to overtake as he simply doesn't have the skill of some of the better drivers imo.
behold and obey
Apparently 2011 is higher still so far
lucky
doubt you will laugh.
