WOW!!!!!!! Huge congrats to Vettel he just outdrove EVERYONE in the ex Minardi, in a straight race, no flukes, not a weird race, no gifts, didn't put a wheel wrong the entire race, PERIOD, END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He came out in FRONT of hammy after his last pitstop by a LONG ways, yet they had the same tires (full wets) up to that point, and the hammy fanboys either forgot that or can't get past it. As VR said this isn't the last time were going to hear from this kid. I can't say enough about that race, that looked was better than Schui/Sennesque, because he did it without the best car in the field!!!!

What? Even though he won, I think everyone can tell who the best driver on the grid was. From 15th to 3rd in ONE STINT!!!!!! And without a lot of people retiring, he passed them on the track. And left Kimi in the dust, while walking Vettel down (much to Vettel's surprise).


Vettel did an awesome job, but lets not get carrried away here. Lewis started 15th on a one stopper, still made an extra pit stop and finish 7th, pretty spectacular.

Having been at the Indianapolis event when it rained, I've remained in awe of the F1 drivers in the wet. It really brings out the best of the best drivers. Vettel deserves his moment in the sun, and hopefully many more to come. Louis is special in the way that Clark was special. As much as I hate the FIA, this is the best F1 has been for quite a while.

There were two of them in the top 4 in qualy, so just may be that Vettel wasnt the only factor in their success dont ya think??? He wasnt challenged the whole race, and as we've seen time and time again the guy in the front has driven away with the rain races.

Not hating on Vettel, but your groveling to find a way to push your anti hamilton sentiments is a bit annoying. Get over it already.

It's funny to see Des lecture about "anti hamilton sentiments" when he is clearly an over the top Hamilton booster.

I guess liking Vettel , means hating Hamilton It is indicative of the genre

1. Love f1 = Hate Nascar
2. Love ALMS = Hate Grandam

Ahhh excuse me while i enjoy them all .................
