[Sil80_D]

so brutal for webber...

[DJ Lazy]

What a race!

[Disoblige]

That was fun to watch :)

[Sil80_D]

Amazing race. so much action!

Webber fricken killed it out there and watching the mclarens joust is always a good show

[ICEBERG]

WOW...Great race, just finished watching it this morning(too tired to stay up last night). Webber was great in those last few laps.

:thumbsup: to Hamilton...

[ottamania]

ohh yea webber did a fantastic job on those fresh tires. Props to Rosberg as well.

[Cos]

Anyone see the corny beginning that was like a dubbed martial arts movie? Freaking funny. "look my flying machine" lol

[buh_buh]

yeah I saw that beginning, pretty lame.
AWESOME race though. This is 2 in a row. I'm loving the Pirellis.
My only question is, what's going to happen in Montreal when these tires last 3 laps?

[nich148_9]

What an incredible race. Lots of amazing overtakes, great driving by all, and only one retire.

[l/l/rX]

1 of the best races I've watched in a while!!! Those pirelli's make the race awesome to watch.

[lilmira]

Only watched the last third or so of the race, it was pretty intense. Missed the part when button went to the wrong pit lol. The Red Bull crew should have taken the wheels off the car and left it there.

[AaronK]

Great race! Webber killed it and lol @ Button. Im amazed that wasnt a time penalty.

[cycosis]

Great drives all round. Massa was looking much better for once. Its unfortunate Vettel went for the 2 stop strategy. He couldnt do anything about freakin Hamilton on those last few laps. But what a charge by Webber from way back. Huge amount of patience on those hard compounds. Good 2-3 finish and lots of points for Redbull :)
