Bad luck by Button. Too bad Hamilton didn't hit the wall when he went off. How in the world did Alonso survive that hit by Barrichello? I guess karma caught up with him at the end.

Opinions on the Vettel drive through penalty? I don't quite agree with it, because the penalties aren't consistent. Why didn't Liuzzi get a penalty for chopping into the back of Vettel towards the end of the race?

Clusterfuck of a race but definitely exciting to watch!

Don't really agree about Vettel getting a penalty either. Sucks for Button but that's racing.

I thought this race was really exciting. I like the unpredictable weather. And F-C what do you mean to bad hamilton didnt crash into the wall!!! My heart was pounding when I was seeing that haha

I dunno how alonso survived that first hit either. As for vettel, I'm not exactly sure what type of penalty to give, but man is he getting aggressive. I dont completely blame him for the button hit, because it seemed that the track was moist over there and I guess he locked up quick since the track was moist and didnt expect that Sucks for button though, would have preferred vettel not being able to continue.

Also got mad at Kubica! When he missed his pit slightly, cost him a position and me points!! In the interview he said he was adjusting some stuff on the steering wheel and looked up to see that he was closer to the pit stop than he though he would be and slammed the brakes locking the wheels since it was wet.

Hamilton got the win though


edit: Also the commentators were asking about vettel's maturity. I dont think its that low the one commentator at the pits was saying. He's a good aggressive driver, sometimes a little to much. But that happens, especially with cocky people.

I disagree with the Vettel penalty, that was not your usual run of the mill balls to the wall failed pass gone wrong manuever that begets such a penalty. Poor Rubinho-300th race and he's the first one out. damn.

fsttyms1

I agree. I dont think that penalty should have been handed out.
