Deary me.
Deary me.Sutil is a fecking weapon!
Sutil a clown
Just end the race now please. Alonso would move 11 points clear
I can't stand him
Best possible weekend for Alonso with him in the lead and the Red Bulls fighting among themselves.
Vettel's finger strikes again. Unlucky though.
I hope Hamilton goes for a spin into a tyre wall, let's see the McLaren mechanics cheering then the wankers
it looks very dark out there
I'd say it was from the cars sitting on the grid after the race stopped. 3 wins taken from Vettel through a mechanical failure.
What is your problem? A retirement for Vettel means their season has purpose again and is back on, it'd be weird if they didn't cheer.
I think thats payback for when the Red Bull mechanics were doing the same a few races ago.
I agree. Can't blame the McLaren crew at all.
That was pretty small time but what did you expect from them? It gets Hamilton right back in the title hunt. Well sort of.
I would not mind Hamilton spinning out thought. Would be quite the perfect race for Alonso

They shouldn't cheer engine failures are crashes, it's out of order. They've not achieved anything themselves by passing on pace, it's just crass.
tit for tat
Hmmm, i'd be more inclined to think that it was the fact that Vettel was shitting himself with Alonso on his tail and just put the engine mix into the fastest one possible and ragged the feck out of it.
Looking pretty dark out there now
Of course they should, don't talk daft. Red Bulls unreliability means they're back in it. They should cheer.
You're the conductor of the bitter bus today.
How many Engines is that for Vettel? I mean it's nearly the end of the season, and he's blown at least 3, they get 8 or 10, right?
Talk shit? You're the one saying a team shouldn't cheer when a rival's car's go out.
Or can no one celebrate when the Red Bulls go out?
Alonso 10 secs ahead of Hamilton
I don't understand I only properly got into f1 this year but why is it considered wrong to cheer? I mean in footie you cheer against opposition is this not the same principle? They cheer because it's good for the team?

They cheer because it's good for the team?I'd say he'd be on the cusp of getting a new one. All depends on how his other engines are from the season. It could be a telling issue at Brazil as it'll demand a lot from the engine.
To keep a Spaniard out of his wing mirrors? You heard him on the radio, 'Oh its sooooo dark out here i cannot see turn one at all' despite setting the fastest lap on that very lap he was talking to his engineer on.
I think an F1 car with lights would look cool , racing at night

Teams should be better than that, just like everyone was saying when the red bull mechanics did it a few races ago, I dont give a crap who does it, it's not on.
you can reuse old engines.
I don't understand
I think some of the chat is because Red Bull garage got called out by a few for not having class, so some think it is hypocritical that others are doing it now at their expense.
I'm not that fussed by it, not doing so would be like, tennis players when they get a lucky break at the net, and then raise their hand/racquet to apologise(pffffft...as if they aren't thinking, SCORE!)
Well done Fernando
Yay Michael
Vamos Alonso!
Delighted for Massa as well.

exciting race ,after the SC start.
Well done Fernando and Lewis

Massive swing then, Alonso in the pound seats and Red Bull probably have to back Webber for the final two races for any chance.
Fernando's maniacal laugh
