He's right. Spa was more exciting. Hamilton is providing all the entertainment for his week-end.

How has this race been boring? There's been plenty of on-track action!

Disappointed that Hulk missed out on the podium again.

Vettel drove a great race personally and deserved a cheer that was a great drive

Sadly, that'd be most of the crowd.

Imagine if the Red Bull problems were terminal...

But Hülk isn't helped much by that s**t car, and the fact he got 3rd in qualifying and eventually got 5th is a feat in itself and he may be considered for Ferrari since he was within 5 seconds of Massa at the end.

And no booing for Webber, but he wasn't on the top step anyway. But it is disgusting.

His drive was epic, but he has now missed out on podiums in Belgium 2012, Brazil 2012 and here in Italy this year. He is an unlucky driver like Sutil.

My respect for the Hulk is increasing exponentially, here's to hoping he gets a proper car sooner rather than later.

He is still the Incredible Hülk, and no one can deny that. This is by far the best top 5 he's gotten, because of the car he is driving. But yeah, he missed out again. True hero this weekend as well.

Sauber also doubles their points tally at this race. Fantastic work.

Indeed. He always seems to be positive in not so ideal situations, and is definitely a likable person. His interview with Will Buxton after today's race shows that. F1 needs more likable guys. Good people too. Hülk is one of them.
