Awesome race all the way through!! Great racing throughout the field, in the end I lost track of where everyone was 
I think Maldonado should be chucked out of F1, hes just an idiot whos bought a seat, he cant actually drive. He did do one thing useful but I wont go into details in case someone hasn't seen the race

This is going to roll on and on, I am probably going to be killed for this, but I have a different view on that incident.

The one at the end? I don't believe it was Maldonado's fault really, he should have been given more room, but he was pushing people off track earlier on which annoyed me, and in several races previous. Personally I think some drivers should give each other more room, the races are better and more fair that way as todays race proved with some great driving and overtakes.

Say that on twitter and get ready to write your last will and testament.
Personally I do agree with you on that point and said immediately that it wasn't all Maldonaldo's fault and that Lewis should of given him space. At the point of contact Maldonaldo wasn't off the track and he was able to get off the kerb, half was in mid air because the kerb and half on the track.
The only incident I got wrong was Massa, Kobayashi.

Artmann- Yes, I have had bad luck
But so have a lot of others so I hope that karma will ride to the rescue!
Indy- Dammit man, ill try and remember to update soon
A very exciting F1 race indeed, I am gutted Jensen's team are not getting his car to perform though. I think the incident near the end was more Hamilton than Maldonado personally.

anyone up for a f1 2011 valencia race?
No chance that was Hamiltons fault, Maldonado was off the track, then bossed himself back on!
he should have cut the corner after he went too deep.
Great race though, abit annoyed at grosjean out aswell

But at the point Maldonado went to come back on track he steered his car onto the kerb, and I think the car bottomed out and he was beeched while moving straight into Hamilton. You could see he was turning left but the car carried on.
Personally I think it was possible 60% Hamilton's fault.

Damn, you guys almost ruined the race for me
The race doesn't air here till past 12, so I don't know the results yet, plus I'm at work so I will be watching it tonight after work.
All I know is that Maldonado did something bad from reading the first line in one of your posts

Worst thing ever, never watch the news or read texts from friends during a sporting weekend as you will mostly be frustrated ronin. I had a friend who called me and wanted to tell me the F1 race results when i specifically told him that i had recorded it and didn't want to know, next thing he sends me a text with the results and its hard not to look at them coz your brain is quicker than your eyes so i saw the top 5 finishers from the text and never bothered watching the race.
So, i agree with Brett, no sport talk till at least 48hrs after.

I beg to differ, i think if you are off the track, you should definitely slow down and give way. Just as you should when you overshoot a chicane, you cant then race with other guy when you miss a chicane, so same rule applies. Also, if you are behind and trying to overtake, you can see where the other guy is so its up to you to make a decission as to whether there is enough room or not. Both cars had worn out tyres so it was fair game but making lunges like that was not on, Maldonado is not patient and nearly ran into the back of Alonso at Albert Park on the lawt few laps and ended up crashing.
My 2 cents

ArtMannnBalanced, were your eyes closed in the first few laps when Vettel was going more than a second faster than anyone else?
That was mostly because of Hamiltons bad race pace holding people up along with a few other slow people up front, he should really stop concentrating on quali setup.

Wordup- I am glad you are still with us 👍 see you the week after next
Indy/Art/Spurg- Vettel was so much quicker, every time he pulls a lead like that I think of the boring season when he first won the title. F1 needs the excitement of close races with big incidents (varied podiums, breakdowns, crashes) to attract more fans and keep the old ones keen.
Off to Catalunya next I wonder what europe will bring, hopefully a bit of luck for me!!

Good thing I watch it on the BBC instead of sky, they generally make it sound more exciting.
Art- In titled to your opinion although I do not agree with it.

Yes, I read that in the posh broadsheet newspaper that I read (the sun ) its a bit like that guy who died playing world of warcraft for 7 full days straight! Or like spurgey practising for the FGTC
I have had no practice at Catalunya and am coming off a 12 hour nightshift myself , I hope I make it to the end of the race without passing out myself!
