Posted by EC83
I hate really those FIA & Whitney's management!.
Rosberg lossing the rear end on whiteline just a bit.. then a drive through penalty for thats unfair though! he did not gain any time their, infact he lost a bit of time their!
and webber overtaking alonso on 4 wheels abit outside (Heavy penalty i think) still unfair! F1 Now are to strict with those FIA.... i tell you what if senna is alive he could rid of this mindless FIA RULES ON F1. anyways, brake failure for webber!(championship over!) nice pits&drive by button though! ahead of his teammate. and having problems on brakes on the ending stint of race. nice drive by timo and alonso.

Yes, the first thing that needed to be changed is to clean the track before the race weekend - you could see from Sutil's onboard cameras that you couldn't even go a little bit offline if you wanted to overtake.

Maybe it's just a fact Rosberg crossed the white line and Vettel speeded in the pitlane. Hard to get eh? You can say oh, it's a mistake, they didn't win time with it, but crossing the white line = crossing the white line, speeding in the pitlane = speeding in the pitlane, end.

Yep. Rules is rules. Was an advantage gained? Was it deliberate? It doesn't matter, what they did was against the regulations.

Lol, this is the first time I've EVER fell asleep in a race. Must be the whole night thing! I look forward to seeing Lewis at Suzuka in an F1 car for the 1st time. Bloody bored of the championship race though.
How can they relate Kimi at Spa to webber.
Webber got brilliant drive from going off the track and didnt lose anytime though Kimi at Spa, we could see he got wheelspin, went sideways and its a longer route.
Webber didnt lose time and infact the route he took was shorter to the following right hander.

Good solid drive by Lewis but you can hardly call it great, in fairness he wasn't pushed for most of the race, this was an endurance test for him but nothing more. The opposition pwned themselves.
Great drive from Glock, he punched way above the Toyota's weight, and good drive from Alonso too. The sooner Alonso is back in a top car the better, IMO.
It's not often I feel compelled to say this about a Grand Prix, but God, this one bored me.

Result was the same though, Kimi in Spa passed 2 cars off the track and lined up the 3rd. Has he not gone off the track he would not have passed 2 cars and lined up the 3rd
. Webber passed Alonso and both were off the track, plus Alonso ran wide and the 1st turn so he should not have even been there. Anyway whats done is done but I can understand why Webber is upset.
Sutil got a $20,000 fine for the crash today.

Agreed, that was a pretty noobish error on Sutil's part. Feel really bad for Nick.

I agree about Nico, I felt for him too. It was a shame he made that one small mistake at such a critical moment, as otherwise he drove a flawless belter of a race.
Regarding the Championship battle, at least we got a spark of form from Button towards the end of the race, otherwise it was pretty unimpressive from both Brawn drivers all weekend IMO, and not the kind of performance you expect from title contenders. While it's almost a given now that JB will do it, even if his form picks up again in the next 3 races, he's still done a Damon Hill Mk II.
This year's Championship battle is proving to be a total anticlimax after the last few ones TBH, it's the least exciting one at least since 2005.

I was surprised at Webber's penalty myself. First time a driver has been penalised for running too wide as opposed to cutting a corner IIRC.
