I wish Mclaren would dump the ungrateful Hamilton, and try to snatch Perez from under Ferrari's nose, what a coup that would be.

Button and Webber are cool dudes, and they're probably my favorite drivers (though Perez and Senna are close).

I'm still hoping the Toro Rosso guys get some advancement seeing as they both did some great drives recently.
This I am surprised by.
Senna is very good at keeping people behind him, he's got great control across the track.
But yeah his uncle is better but then again he's better than most people.
I actually liked Senna, but I get the feeling he's been holding back this year, probably trying too hard to be unlike his teammate.
Hahah Pastor is hilariously reckless.

I refer you to my previous post.

I read somewhere that he shouldn't really be racing in Formula One at all. During a Monaco race in the Formula Renault series, Maldonado ignored yellow flags, and nearly killed a marshall as a result. The owners of the Monaco circuit responded by banning Maldonado from racing there for life, which meant no F1 team could recruit him as a driver if he couldn't race at one of the iconic circuits on the calendar. However, his father offered to pay for the marshall's hospital fees and such, provided the lifetime ban was lifted.

I hope someone new wins the Championship this year.

I sense some bias towards the Scotman there xD

Actually, DiResta did extremely well in quali. His performance in quali was equal to Perez's in the race, IMO.

I wouldn't mind another Button or Kimi championship but I'm mostly banking on someone like Perez really. Webber wouldn't be bad either since Webber is cool.

Am I the only one who pre-ordered F1 2012.

Yep, they need to add more to the gameplay, some extra game modes to make the series less one dimensional.

Bumpin':
Amazing race today, great job by Kimi and Vettel.

Damn, the best race I've seen in years, grats to Kimi.

Congrats to Raikkonen. Very, very consistent drive, well deserved victory.

Vettel didn't do half bad either. Pastor and Grojean were also good at various points.

Alonso has a really hard few races ahead of him now - 10 points in two races is certainly possible but after that 24th to 3rd performance, I expect Vettel to win the championship again.

Philippa · « **Reply #35 on:** November 04, 2012, 01:09:10 PM »

I missed it, I missed the crashes. D':

I don't really mind that considering Vettel is a good driver even if he's boring if he's on pole position. Also he isn't a grumpy ass unlike Alonso.

I don't really watch F1 but I was round my Mum's this weekend and her boyfriend is fanatical, because he used to work on F1, so I watched the race today, wow, was pretty amazing. I like Webber though, shame he messed up, and I don't like Vettel, shame all the accidents and incidents went his way again.

madman3 · « **Reply #38 on:** November 04, 2012, 04:26:02 PM »

I never quite understand why you guys dislike Vettel. When he's not starting from the front he's good, and he's amusing during interviews (like with DC today).

When he's not starting from the front he's good, but that doesn't happen. Over the last three seasons we've just seen him pull away from the rest of the pack without a word from him ever again. He's talented but his car is a major part of why he's dominating, and he honestly makes it boring.

Oh, and Ferrari is cooler.
