Can't believe that Vettel has complained about the way that Hamilton overtook him 
I thought it was a straight forward piece of Great driving on Hamilton's part  |

I enjoyed watching my stream because no one was showing the race here.
Cut out every 20 seconds, in the final 30mins.

I think Ferrari's idea of editting the grid was a bit unfair, to be honest, so I'm glad Alonso didn't win 
I think Grosjean (yes, I'm serious!) was the best driver today; yes, he made a silly mistake, which dropped him back to 20th (iirc), but he came back in the points with some nice overtakes 
Sauber is disappointing, but Schuey was even worse

Did Crashean actually do some decent driving today?
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Nice to have a new circuit which created some decent racing

Grosjean didnt drop back to 20th because of the spin. He went from around 6th to 11th, then lost a couple of places after that, before just making his pit stop earlier than everyone else.

Was a good race to watch. Shame the track has only 1 slightly original feature. But at least the rest is just copies of great bits.
Hamilton finally got a break, and thank god Vettel only gained 3pts over Alonso.
So glad my prediction from India was wrong.
Now all we need is for it to rain and Grojsean to produce his trademark first lap alongside Vettel.
I wouldnt put it past Massa to get on the front 2 rows in quali, and on the podium in the race.
Quite simply, Brazil will go one of 3 ways. (i think)
1) Red Bull will be very very quick, take a Row 1 lockout, then waltz off to ruin the season
or
2) We get 2008 all over again, with Alonso winning and Vettel taking it on countback
or
3) We get 2008 all over again, but Vettel shows he is not that good in traffic to just miss out on the title

Actually what he complained about was Karthikeyan getting in his way, which is what gifted Hamilton an easy overtake. He's a whiny bitch, what can you do about it.

6th to 11th due to a stupid mistake, then lost a few places and a lot of time due to ruined tires (from said spin). Then a brilliant drive.
But to say he's the driver of the day is to forget the spin and you can't do that

already made mine clear
good, but has no originality. It just has imitations of other great parts of circuits (Silverstone, Istanbul, Hockenheim, Red Bull Ring/India, Suzuka). Its classic Tilke, long straight, pointy hairpins, fast sweepers and fiddly low speed sections.
Also the location is bloody boring! And the track side decoration and paint is rubbish as well.
Summary: Better than most of the other Tilke circuits (India, Korea, China etc), but far short of the classic circuits (Silverstone, Albert Park, Montreal etc).

Anyone watching the race ?
Grosjean has... crashed. 
So has Senna, but he took a couple of cars with him (apparently he won't have a seat next year, it was about time...).
Hülkenberg has been impressive so far. |

Best race of the season. At least.
Senna ridiculous, Hülkenberg impressive, Vettel great. Webber is the opposite of Massa in terms of teamplay.

I think it is vettel's fault for crashing Senna, Maldonado and Perez.
only one thing to say about Hülkenberg

If I had time and nerves to google, you'd see a facepalm meme right below.

Vettel needs a penalty for overtaking the Sauber under yellow flags |
