Yeah, second time Karthikeyan broke a record this year! First for beign the first 23rd finisher, now he has managed to be the first 24th race finisher, only 3 laps down as well :-(
I’d say it wasn’t nice to see everyone finish, in fact I’d go so far as to say that I was very disappointed to see everyone finish.
F1 is supposed to be a test of man and machine; if everyone passes the test then the test isn’t hard enough !
This race encapsulates all that is wrong with F1 for me; boring modern tracks and cars that are so restricted by the rules that the engineers are no longer pushing the performance boundaries and are actually working within the limits of ultimate performance. I’d rather see a race where half the competitors didn’t finish due to the challenge of the track than a bore fest like this with everyone finishing.
I don’t think anyone took Jenson’s threat to Red Bull seriously. One spectacular race win after a career of mediocrity doesn’t change a driver’s abilities.
I suggest Mclarens and Ferraris get spying things on RBR or else we are getting next couple of seasons Schumacher dominance era replay in the bodywork of Vettel/RBR.:)

Amen to that. I’m inclined to say that’s a result of a lack of action…though reliability plays a part too.

why did i believe the “ENGINE MAPPING” talk..its clear that RBR has two quality cars and two top drivers..

Great drives by Alguersuari and Sutil. Renault and Mercedes terribly disappointing.

Expected more from Heidfeld given he saved a set of tyres…and pitted first!

So much for Button’s pre-race blabbing about putting pressure on RedBull. 6th place – a real threat, ha ha…

Massa would have been 4th if it wasn’t for yet another wrong pit stop by Ferrari. At least theoretically.

Damn Alonso!!
Had he not overtaken Webber, I would’ve scored 31 points in the prediction championship!
