    comentators said something about "Red Bull fans out there...."......
    i wonder how many people are really "fans"....couple of hundred maybe...including famlies and relatives of the team...?....come on.....!...why would someone be a fan of red bull....?...because they drink that sugary chit?

    Have another look at your new team next year hambone! I'm sure the extra 2m will keep you sweet though :).

    Another fantastic performance by Vettel. He's absolutely on fire. Alonso drove as best the car can be, he should be happy with 2nd...It's not over yet but for him to stay in it he has to win next week. If its a red bull 1-2 next week and him 3rd it's going to be rather bleak end of season for him!

    Sucked for Kimi having no straight line speed and, maybe he can describe the diffuser of the Ferrari to his team though.

    Alonso WILLED Cliffy into second place. Awesome drive by him. Seb's gonna win it barring a disaster though.

    Is it me or did he complain about his tires after he set fastest lap (at that point in the race)?

    He said he wasn't sure if his tyres would last long, giving it full beans.

    Ferrari strategy did a great job today with the gamble on lightest fuel load, higher gear ratios and pitting Alo early.

    And as usual Alo putting together an epic race from 5th, ESP that first lap battle with button & hamilton, proof he's the best talent on the grid today. I doubt anyone else on the grid could even dare think of the moves he pulled on both Macs at either side of him with so much on the line.

    Bravo Scuderia on a great race.

    Hamilton has complained about his tires "going off" for the last 3-4 races (since he knew he was leaving McLaren I might add) yet we never hear Button complaining, why is that? I'll tell you why and that is a very good question Gregg, kudos you sassy man! Hamilton has yet to fully learn how to adjust his driving style to suit the chassis/tires and track conditions. I may be wrong but I doubt I am very far off.

    Now before the Hamilton fans get all flustered please THINK about what I said, ok? It is not an attack just an opinion and personal observation.

    Fred will need luck here. In 2005 he won in large part to kimi's McLaren suffering from woeful reliability; in 2006 he won it when schumeys motor blew in Japan. If he's going to win it RB will have to have some self-inflicted wounds.

    Quite a few RB fans. I for one like Vettel. He wins, but does not act like an ass.

    Vettel is a fast driver...IF he is in front...otherwise...not sure. I doubt if Seb would have the skills Massa showed recently when passing other cars...from well behind. Like most Germans...he is a fine tuned and focused machine...but with little creativity. give Seb the Ferrari Massa is driving and Massa would end in front of him on everyrace.
    regarding RB fans....I am not jelous because they do have a more balanced car....I just think RB fans would quickly switch hats to Force India for example if they started to win.....they lack loyalty....while SF fans are fans for life....no matter what....its just a question of principles...that's all......RB fans wont remain RB fans for long. Cheers.

    Ferrari have impressed me more than any other team this year. Had they started with a semi functional car at the beginning of the year I believe they would be far ahead o everyone. Ferrari's development pace has been astonishing. That being said, Red Bull have had their share of issues with RB8 but RB8 was fundamentally a better car going into 2012 over F2012. The evolutions Neey has placed on RB8 are far more organic looking than anything else I've ever seen, almost fish-like in the way they place gills and ramps.

    Watch the belgian GP. He has proven he CAN pass and WILL. He's made a few exceptional passes over the course of his career. Are there others that are better that are passing? Sure. Vettel's luxury is that he rarely has been put in a position where he has to overtake continually because he qualifies out front.

    Vettel is very quickly becoming one of the best, whether you like it or not...

    Awwww poor you!

    I am not obsessed with him. Far from it. I just comment on his constant moaning about pretty much everything.
    It's always someone elses fault, never his.

    Don't think anything will happen.

    it happened during the race, so a non-issue.
