Loved Webbers post retirment interview something like 'fcuking kids'

An amazing race - got to love the rain
Respect to Button for trying to continue without a rear wing and only being 3-4secs off the pace

Just watched the recording, and the first F1 that I have not slept through for a while.

Much respect for Hamilton, he never even put a foot wrong in horrendous conditions, even when he was nearly taken out. Raikonnen drove a great race, despite Ferrari acting like complete amateurs. They reckon that they did not receive the ruling on compulsary extreme wets, whereas every other team did. Just trying to pull a fast one again and f***ing their drivers chances.

Almost worse was that they pulled in Massa for his 10 sec penalty, overtaking behind the safety car so he deserved it, whilst the safety car was still out, not allowed, so had to call him in again when the race restarted. Ross Braun must have been laughing his socks off.

Not sure if they pointed it out, but even if Alonso won the next two races, Hamilton only needs 9 points from them to win the World Championship, which equates to a couple of 5th places.

That Lewis chap - really does confuse me at time.

Safety car pulls in, lead car take place of safety car (deployed due to weather conditions) so why is he allowed to brake test the rest of the grid?

Didn't look very safe to me!

But hey, it's Lewis so we'll let it go. Pity that Webber got taken off, although it did say Charlie throwing out the chequered flag after 75% race distance when he was eating in to Lewis' lead.

PS: Go DC - cracking drive from the old boy!

Great race and a brilliant drive by Hamilton, althought I must say I went off him a lot this week after his comments implying that his team thought him more worthy of the title than Alonso. For my money Raikonen is still by far the most ballsy, entertaining F1 driver, and he has a real life away from the race track, unlike the majority of dull automatons who pedal F1 cars these days.

I would disagree and would say he is playing a very fine hand in the off the track mental game. It also seems rather insignificant (and true) after Alonso said he deserves the number 1 status because he has brought 6 tenths to the team and Alonso attempting to blackmail Ron
