Yeah, a ton of stories:

Alonso and his wing
Pirelli being terrible
Lewis Hamilton pitting in the wrong box
Pirelli being terrible
Force India having a bad thyme
Pirelli being terrible
McLaren struggling
Pirelli being terrible
Vettel and Webber going at it
Pirelli being terrible
Hamilton and Rosberg team orders

Hamilton pitting in the wrong box was funny. Nicholls' reaction was priceless.

Formula One -- Sebastian Vettel passes Mark Webber for win; move 'a mistake' - ESPN

If you're the better car, you get the position, especially if it's for the win right? Helping a "teammate" is bogus in racing. This is just dumb.

 

[JL 103]

For those who didn't see Hamilton pit fail. Also had the Caterahm and Torro Rosso pit crash.

F1 has always been a team sport. Nothing new at all with team orders.

That's ridiculous. Another reason to continue not watching racing for me. Not bashing y'all that do, but I can't watch something with those kinds of unwritten rules.

Your a baseball fan? There are a bunch of dirty unwritten rules. The order that is beneficial to the team. It's not like Nascar where there is one car one team. It's two cars one team.

 

[volinbham]

Can someone please tell me:

1. What the F was Alonzo thinking and
2. Why is Bob Varsha just the "fill in" guy for that doofus that called the Australian GP. Varsha is vastly better.

and

3. Why does Pastor Maldanado have a ride and why does F1 continue to allow him on the track.

She's hot but others in F1 have better looking broads.

To answer #3, because Bruno Senna isn't there to create excitement during the race.

Doesn't correlate. The unwritten rules of baseball ate designed for two reasons to win and to make the other team pay.

F1 is all about the Constructors and Drivers championship. They do correlate, Ferrari from 2004-2008 did this to perfection.

and the guy that won the race "against team orders" is leading the drivers championship. if it's all about the drivers championship, the guy needs to do the best he can every race. Obviously, that's not what the team wants.

Because F1 has rules to limit the amount of engines and transmissions, once a team can get a driver out front and out of danger, they tell the drivers to slow down to save the drivetrain from wear and tear. Sometimes, a spoilt twat thinks this is his cue to be dishonest and catch the other one off guard. Unfortunately, spoilt twats get their way through deceit and not integrity, which is why I like drivers like Hamilton and Raikkonen who let their driving do the talking and not their radio line to the team manager.

if that was the case then so be it. But he was told to not pass his team mate so his team mate could get the win. At least keep up.

Howdy pt.

I only saw the final laps, and the Red Bull stuff. Good to see that Merc is fast and Macca isn't. I heard Raikkonen should have been higher.

IF that was the case? That WAS the case. If you're going to ***** and moan, at least bring facts to the table.

Then why are they going to such lengths to talk about how his teammate was supposed to get the win to help him out? Seems you're the one not paying attention. Kinda like how you do in other forums

That last sentence was unnecessary.
