Great race today. The new regs even make China exciting Bodes well for the rest of the year.

Funniest thing today was the interview. Webber having a slip of the tongue and telling the world how happy he was that the team didnt win

Agreed I loved it, hehe

What a drive by Webber , awesome overtaking especially in the closing laps.

Helmets bitch in the sphincter of the universe

[boiracer]

Yeah on neighbours years ago

Google images to the rescue;

pretty sure he was a Big Bother contestant wasnt he?? one of those straight to neighbours kinda cool cats......that cant act...

anyways. GOOO!!! Webber. finally got his car into action. if he'd got out of the croud out the back early on he would have had Vetool and Hamo easily. but it took him half the race to wake up and start driving like we all know he can

awesome race overall!! bring on more of that.....instead of Vetool out front and everyone else naively trying to catch him

I'm a big button fan but wtf man?! Wrong pit box, that could have cost him the win!!

Go Webber! Fk off the fact he's the unluckiest man in f1 in many years, had a horrific qualifying day and got 18th, has car issues and traffic and hell, he just overcomes that with brute force, love it! Also should set some of his critics straight. I was so hoping he'd overtake Vettel at the end, would have been out-of-seat cheering!

Lol at above, I also said that this year is gonna be good given how exciting china is haha.

What do people think about the drs? Good/Bad? I've been thinking for a while now that they need a straight back and front wing with minimal body downforce, like back in the old days when you didn't have to be massively faster to pass. Given they can't change all that, the drs seems to work pretty well. It'd be more interesting if the drivers could use it more often, harder for them but the fans would love the exciting racing that would come from it. China has two massive straights and it was only available for the last half of one of them, if it was available earlier Webber would have had a shot at victory and it would have been the best drive in many many years (despite that it still is!). It does make the racing a bit artificial, but the affect of dirty air doesn't exactly keep it pure either.

Pretty sure he wouldn't have had the tyre health for that, certainly not compared to Lewis. I thought McLaren were on for a 1|2 before the last series of stops shook out.

At best you could say he might have been 3rd given how small an amount of time the pitbox infarction cost him realistically; But it's hard to say if Mark wouldn't have passed him anyway.

While I'm a fan of Webche, I think many people are missing the fact that he had used 3 sets of brand new soft tyres, due to his 18th place quali.

instant 1-2 seconds a lap quicker.

It was an awesome drive but he had something the rest didn't. There is also no doubt the reason Hammo won was because he had that 1 set of virgin softs. Just look at the lap times he did on thats set of tyres.

They say that they don't cycle well and that race proved just how accurate that assumption was so I think you will find going forwards that all of the front guys will keep at least 1 set of new softs up their sleeves as this has shown that 1 new set of softs in the race is worth probably a min 3 spots in Quali.

[Galois]

I wonder if in the future we'll see some of the top runners trying to do qualifying on hards because the softs are worth more in the race...

[waxracing]

Awesome drive well done.

Fail on the interview. Talk about a sponsors nightmare

Exactly...if he had qualifed much better lets say top 6 he wouldn't be there...so it was a blessing in disguise for him...

One thing is for sure now...no one can now whinge that webber has an inferior car anymore...the car is capable of the pace...its up to him now...

And as for the interview...funny comments...but don't think it was a smart thing to say...

[ctjet]

smart or not, truthful answers to questions is what we want

if he had given us the usual PR schtick, it would have been far less interesting
