Regardless of the race itself, thank God the podium ended up looking the way it did, no matter who stood where. That was honestly all I wanted from this race. Reading through the previews the day before, I found myself getting a little anxious that Sebastian Vettel or Jenson Button might actually sneak onto the podium. Even toward the end, when he started closing in on Lewis Hamilton, I was feeling the tension. 😠It would be an absolute embarrassment if, in a standard race free from unforeseen chaos, drivers who simply managed their tires during Q3 were rewarded with a podium finish. In my view, the regulations should be adjusted to ensure there is a dedicated set of tires allocated specifically for qualifying and a separate set for the race itself. Furthermore, we should mandate that the race starts on the exact same tire component used to set the qualifying times.
He’d actually surprise me for once.😁
Look, there isn't much else I can say. There’s nothing else on this list, so here we are. It’s not like anyone else around here is posting anything actually smart or interesting anyway.😉
Even these guys know exactly how to get under my skin.😬 That’s exactly why I know they aren't just some loudmouths talking nonsense...
And then there are those people where you can't read a single smart thing they say. Honestly, they're exactly my type.🙂
It’s pretty obvious I rarely actually reply to anything on these forums. I mostly just pop in to skim through their posts or only bother reading them once someone else decides to quote them.

It would be an absolute embarrassment, honestly. In a way, I'm almost glad it didn't happen, just so we don't have to watch Pirelli and Bernie make fools of themselves with their usual nonsense.
And that definitely wouldn't be fair.
Look, the fact remains that this could have gone down without any real drama. At the end of the day, Vettel and Red Bull completely blew it a few times. If they hadn't messed up, that podium spot would've been a total layup. 😳 Button and McLaren are a different story entirely; they just didn't have the pace for that kind of thing.
First off, they actually let Hulk strip them down right in the DRS zone. Seriously?
Then there was that message about not attacking Hulk, since you'd only gain maybe 0.5 seconds per lap and would probably just shred your tires in the process.
Just let Fernando Alonso pass right by immediately. Seriously. It’s better to just save the tires instead of wasting energy trying to defend a position against him when we aren't even racing him anyway.
They really should have sorted that out so they could've grabbed the DRS advantage during that lap...
Any of that would have netted those crucial 0.3 seconds needed for a podium finish—maybe even that full 2.5 seconds that would've been enough to snatch second place.
They calculated everything using Fernando Alonso's style, which I absolutely hate. Honestly, it's the wrong move, and it's definitely going to cost them the title.😳
