Well done Fernando! Another süper win on home soil. :cheer2:

Superb win Fernando , sad to see that tyre management has become the major influence on F1.

F1 cars reduced to running slower than GP2 cars , that surely is not value for money for the punters.

I want to see the fastest drivers in the fastest cars winning , not the fastest pit crew.

Cars running at 80% of max is a waste.

With Pirelli tyres wearing so quickly i would question as to whether or not it is adverse publicity for them.

Get rid of wing flap zones , kers and rubbish tyres and let's go racing.

yes i have to go along with you there, and i also feel the technology over the years has taken away the edge. drivers skills in overtaking are still there ,but it was much more fun without the aids like dsl

On the whole I thought it was quite a boring race and Hamilton's remark of "I can't drive much slower" just about summed it up. If this is how it is going to be in the future then the Monaco Grand Prix - a boring race at the best of times - is going to be dire.
