What a move by the Iceman! Brilliant idea to pass him after the detection zone!

QuickYoda41 · Post by **QuickYoda41** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:14

That was brilliant, Iceman! 8-)

Karthikeyan really is rejectful.Now all we need to happen to make this a perfect race is for Vettel to retire

Mega move by Kimi. :shock:

merc are reallly awful on stratergy

QuickYoda41 · Post by **QuickYoda41** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:17

Whatever Vettel did to many of you, it would be injustice if his car failed him (again)

SchumiTheMeister · Post by **SchumiTheMeister** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:17

Great pass by Massa!

Gerudo Dragon · Post by **Gerudo Dragon** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:18

Good job Felipe.

Massa outside shot at a podium?

Certainly possible, be a great response to the pressure on his seat

STR are really lucky that di Resta and Rosberg are doing crap, because they've really had nothing since their first stops.

SchumiTheMeister · Post by **SchumiTheMeister** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:20

Come on Vettel's tyres, drop off the cliff please

Klon · Post by **Klon** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:21

Now we just need Button's car to break down and this race pleases me.

When did Vergne get ahead of Ricciardo?

QuickYoda41 · Post by **QuickYoda41** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:22

Great Marussia-battle on screen

shinji · Post by **shinji** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:23

Marussia getting some delicious air time.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:23

Come on Button and Vettel's tyres, do the decent thing and drop off the cliff. At least the Marussia battle is entertaining.

And some, it looks like they are trying to kill each other! I think the whole field should be made to race Marussia's if that happens!

After their last stops. That happens a lot actually, one will get ahead during the stops but the other will get past with better tyre management.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:26

Duel to the death between the two Marrussias-quite entertaining! Looks like Findia will get a great points haul from this race although I can't help nominating Di Resta for ROTR after both he and his teammate were in the top five after the initial safety car period. Hulkenburg is fourth and Di Resta is in tenth!

Finally.
Well done Timo!

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:28

I don't know, the TV direction hasn't been that bad today; instead of focusing on the Button and Vettel in the lead, we get to see some battles between Marussia, Caterham and HRT!

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:28

Come on Pedro, keep Mr Unsafe Release behind you, this is HRT's race.

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:29

But we will never see how Maldonado hit Glock.

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:31

Pedro did NOT keep Mr Unsafe Release behind him. Today it was not HRT's race.

SchumiTheMeister · Post by **SchumiTheMeister** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:32

Gotta say though, Its been a perfect drive from Button. Is it too late to challenge for the WDC though?

Shizuka · Post by **Shizuka** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:33

Senna does a fastest lap.

Samster · Post by **Samster** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:34

Well, great performance Jenson, but given the drivers that started immediately behind you this really, really wasn't the result I wanted.

Gerudo Dragon · Post by **Gerudo Dragon** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:34

Hulkenberg 4th!

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:35

JENSON BUTTON WINS!

Vettel 2nd - Is this another result helped by qualifying 11th?

Think Petrov might have got ahead of Kovalainen in the Countback Championship

S951 · Post by **S951** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:37

was an alright race still grosjean totally messed that up for so many people

Post by **tommykl** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:37

Voo picked a greeeaaaat time to die, I had to follow the last ten laps on the BBC website. Guess what? It started working again literally seconds after Jenson crossed the finish line :evil:

QuickYoda41 · Post by **QuickYoda41** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:38

Button was completely unchallanged today.

Vettel had a brilliant race from 10th to 2nd. Kimi'll be disappointed with his 3rd, though. From the start crash beneficiaries, Hülkenberg was great, and Toro Rosso double their tally.

Poor, poor Sauber.

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:39

Haha I love this post race banter between the drivers, they are all there just laying out what they all had. Interesting stuff from Kimi

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 02 Sep 2012, 13:39

Wasn't someone on here saying after qualifying yesterday that Button was not a contender for this race?
