Best race I’ve ever seen. Drive of Hamilton’s life, and probably the best drive from any driver I’ve ever seen!
Mack41 (@mack41) said on 17th April 2011, 10:00
Webber’s drive was out of this world. Hamilton’s was nothing compared to him.
Kingshark (@kingshark) said on 17th April 2011, 10:08
Webber came out of nowhere, I thought I’d seen the last of him after Perez passed him :P
Joseph94 (@joseph94) said on 17th April 2011, 10:10
I TOTALLY agree. Hamilton drove a medioka race.

???? Really ?????
Ellsbury said on 17th April 2011, 10:53
i think that’s why you rate 7

Webber was fantastic, but you cannot take away from Hammy’s drive (speaking as a fellow hamster I cannot praise it too highly).
skodarap (@skodarap) said on 17th April 2011, 10:12
Wouldn’t say Hamilton’s drive was nothing compared to Webber. They both had amazing race, but as far as the driver of the race goes Webber is clear favorite.
Mack41 (@mack41) said on 17th April 2011, 10:19
Hamilton had a great race, his pass on Vettel was spectacular, but no one was comparable to Webbah today. He was the Webbah who won at Spain, Monaco, Silverstone, and Turkey. This is a preview of what is to come in Europe. Now lets see if he learned from last year and can carry this momentum into the end of the season.
Erik said on 17th April 2011, 10:50
The Webber that won in Turkey? That’s the Webber who collided with Vettel and ended in 3rd place.
Krit said on 17th April 2011, 14:02
Spectacular? Please… Both him and Vettel acknowledged the fact it was too easy, tires were shot for Vettel.
TheBrav3 said on 17th April 2011, 23:08
Fantastico!!! 10/10 :)

Last 2 races have been simply great. Better than most races from last year!

Astounding. Real racing all the way, and not all the ovetaking due to the flippy floppy wing! Beautiful.
Trenthamfolk (@trenthamfolk) said on 17th April 2011, 9:48
a superb race… magnificent from Hamilton, and supreme from Webber. Man of the race for me…
Enigma (@enigma) said on 17th April 2011, 9:48
Who cares about track character, this was awesome. Halfway through there were 6 drivers in contention for the win, we had awesome fights. Fantastic, nearly a perfect race and I can’t rate it with less than a 10.
irishlad (@irishlad) said on 17th April 2011, 9:48
Dont often give a nine, but what a cracker of a race. Racing throughout for the lead and everywhere else. Great job from Pirelli.
BBT (@bbt) said on 17th April 2011, 9:49
9/10 Great race.
Get rid of DRS and it would of been 10/10
Adrian J (@adrian-j) said on 17th April 2011, 10:01
I don’t think you can make it that clear cut. Who’s to say that without DRS the race would have been ask good?
I think all the ingredients we have are coming together to provide the good racing. Take one of those away and it might not be the same story…
bpacman (@bpacman) said on 17th April 2011, 10:09
I think DRS did help – even where there were passes elsewhere, the DRS allowed cars to close on the back straight and set up an overtake on the next lap.
Mack41 (@mack41) said on 17th April 2011, 10:14
EXACTLY!!!! The DRS keeps the cars close when without them the dirty air would normally cause the trailing car to fall back after a few laps. With the DRS the trailing car is allowed to make up for the aero restrictions on the racing. Its not a push to pass, its a way to give the trailing car some much needed help
Journeyer (@journeyer) said on 17th April 2011, 10:50
But the car in front can’t use DRS – and that just makes it unfair for me. I’d be able to live with it if the guy in front can use it too.
I agree with BBT – 9/10 for me.
Blog Raider said on 17th April 2011, 17:39
Once you are passed, you have the opportunity to use DRS to regain position…how is that unfair???
Joseph94 (@joseph94) said on 17th April 2011, 10:12
I agree.
Sam said on 17th April 2011, 9:50
Brilliant race..absolutely brilliant. Lewis was…wow
Anatoly Nechaev (@mr-prayer) said on 17th April 2011, 9:50
9 out of 10.
Very exciting race. Plenty of fighting in front and in the back.
Wish TV coverage gave some time to fighting of FInd, Sau & Ren.
Was watching for Petrov’s race thanks to Soft Pauer’s app.
Would give 10 if it was more exciting start.
Anatoly Nechaev (@mr-prayer) said on 17th April 2011, 9:54
And HUGE thanks to Pirelli.
How much more exciting races became without one-stop-absolutely-not-decrading-tyres…
Oliver said on 17th April 2011, 9:50
Phenominal race. Fantastic. Mclaren won the race at the start and forced Redbull into a 2stop strategy. Great drive by Webber. Used all his new tyres to great effect. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
georges10099 (@georges10099) said on 17th April 2011, 9:51
what a race!!!! no race is perfect, thats why i gave it 9 rather than 10.
To think, all of that could have been taken away from us had Hamilton not started… What a drive. Fantastic, superb, incredible! About time someone other than a Red Bull won too!
mateuss (@mateuss) said on 17th April 2011, 9:51
11+!!! Fighting up and down the field and for the win.
budchekov (@budchekov) said on 17th April 2011, 9:51
Awesome, what a drive, the kid’s special.
Mark was outstanding too.
Gave it a 9, should have given it a 10.
At last, a real RACE.
Hyoko said on 17th April 2011, 9:52
A macca win is always a 0. No points for macca would be a nine. Black flag for both maccas, a perfect 10.
driftin (@driftin) said on 17th April 2011, 9:55
Hmmm.
I hate Alonso more than anyone else on the grid today but if Alonso had won that one I still would’ve given it a 9 or 10/10.
Lachie (@lachie) said on 17th April 2011, 10:27
Agreed, if Vettel had held out I still probably would have given it a 9, though i’d have been mightily peed off! :)
Kingshark (@kingshark) said on 17th April 2011, 10:01
Why so bias?
This race was better than Suzuka 2005 or Brazil 2008 IMO.
It
Was
Awesome
10/10, I wish I could give it a 20.
Laranja Mecanica said on 17th April 2011, 11:40
Yes, it was not as bad as Brazil 08, the worst race in F1 history. But barely.
Icarus said on 17th April 2011, 10:07
You shouldn’t be watching F1
Mouse_Nightshirt (@mouse_nightshirt) said on 17th April 2011, 10:11
No true F1 fan could come out with a line like that.
AndresM (@andresm) said on 17th April 2011, 11:02
As a Ferrari and Alonso fanatic I consider this comment as BS. As much as it can hurt both Lewis and the McLaren wall have done a superb race.
Stephen Jones (@aus_steve) said on 17th April 2011, 11:26
i think he’s having a laugh.. go easy
Mark Hitchcock (@mark-hitchcock) said on 17th April 2011, 9:53
9/10
Only reason it’s not a 10 is because I got slightly lost after the first round of stops (bit like Button).
Expect more “F1 is too confusing” articles from hack journalists tomorrow.
Amazing race though. Looks like fiddling with the rules has finally paid off.
