Spanish GP: Race ***Spoilers***

Button's low risk approach brings home some points and keeps him at the head of the driver table.

Give Webber credit.

Outstanding drive today. He did not put a wheel wrong and thoroughly deserved the win from flag to flag.

Uneventful drives are the best
MS did well by racecraft more than car speed

 

Webber striking the "Superman pose" on the top of the podium. LOL

 

I'm very happy with Alonso's second place. All considered it was a good race for Ferrari.

Red Bull is keeping (fortunately) its rivals hopes alive with its reliability issues. I just hope that Ferrari will manage to close the performance gap before it's too late.

Hopefully the team will be in top shape for next week's Monaco GP (which I'm really looking forward to ).

 

Impressive run by webber. Super anxiuos end with Hami and Vettel's issues. Schumi's blocking experience showed... but towards the end, it seems he found some pace over Button. Too bad he wasn't closer to Vettel to pressure... may have been a podium.

Poor Nico- this is his Shnaghi.

Massa may have found some vindication for his lack of pace... all in all, a better race than I expected.

BTW- StrongVPn- not bad! Only a few hicup's but much better than anything yet.

 

Congrats on 2nd, Ferrari!

 

- great stuff!!!!

 

Even though it was at catalunya, the most boring track off all to watch...it was a GOOD race for what it can deliver.

Thoroughly the battle between Schumacher and Button, Schumacher DID prove he is back after all, finishing some 4 seconds or so ahead of Button in the MUCH faster mclaren.

Massa actually did good IMO today, keeping up with Button despite a damaged front wing.

Hamilton drove a great GP, unlucky that his tire went for him....and Steve .

Webber drove his best grand prix of his life so far, didn't do anything wrong...If he can sort out his hot headed temperament when his car isn't working but I fear its too late for that in his career now.

Vettel unlucky, he should have been second today.

I'm beginning to like Alonso, not because of the results he produces but he knew he would have been 4th today as his body language clearly showed, but he remains very nice so far...The only thing he really did wrong this season was his move on Massa considering it's his teammate.

Rosberg drove a terrible GP, some moaned that Schumacher lost his ability to race because back in australia he had trouble passing alguersuari, but today it really showed that if one isn't comfortable with the car it's going to be difficult to make a good performance. Rosberg could barely pass the DAMAGED williams...which is a considerably worse car than the torro rosso.

 

Think I missed the "GOOD" part. Boring, processional, typical.

Bring on more rain/dry events until F1 figure it out

Hell of a race by Webber and I am NOT a fan but I have to give him credit. Sucks for LH although I'm sure Alonso and his fans loved it and once again Vettel bit by the reliability bug...

Oh, and great race/result from MS...still got it.

 

that's 3 out of 3 aint it

webber ahead of vettel
button ahead of hamilton
schumacher ahead of rosberg

 

If we keep getting rain/dry events they won't figure it out. They wont think anything is wrong.

We need more of these races for changes to happen.

 

I'm pleased with the results

 

I said it was a good race for Catalunya. Normally they bring on races much like Bahrain 2010 did.

There where a good few scraps happening. Next year without retarded double diffusers and hopefully more balanced and clean wings we will see some overtaking a la GP2...in GP2 there was even a successful overtake in t7.

 

Fastest lap as well I think. His first hat trick?

 

Agreed. If it weren't for the attrition, this was Bahrain Part 2. Not sure if any team can develop a car to beat Red Bull.

 

What a disappointing race.

 

Webber dominated that race throughout, credit to him. Hamilton unlucky, good drive by Alonso and Schumacher. Boring race overall though.

 

Why? It was about as typically exciting as Spain can be. The battle between Button/MS was great and the failures at the end were exciting. It was better than I expected, honestly.

 

Barcelona needs a random sprinkler system.

Congrats to Webber and a lucky Alonso.

I was betting on Button, but it seems he already switched into points preservation mode.
