Great race. Webber, Rosberg and Alonso, all 3 had a great race. Very happy to see Massa getting competitive. If he can drive like this, he has every right to be at Ferrari.
Drive of the race: Vettel/RBR. Amazing strategy and driving to make the soft tires work so well. Picked up 6 positions.
Now that Hamilton has figured out that it is more important to be consistent, he is taking Button to task.
MS has to retire. His race results are horrible. Sorry, I can't give him a pass just like people don't give other drivers a pass. Rosberg drives for the same team. Look at the points difference.

Boring race. Only thing fun was now we have a sixth winner in six races. Only overtaking in the top six was in the pits. YUCK. I love Monaco but that was one of the least interesting in the last few.

Congrats to the Aussie for making it six winners in six races. Can they do seven for seven? Hamilton has yet to win this season, but he has won the Canadian GP before.

Interesting race......not the most exciting but.....
At one point in time the top guys had all stopped for tyres and were lapping in the 21s but for Vettel and Schumi who were on 19s
Schumi was punted into the barriers at the start then had the car fail on him.
Good for Webbo

Of course I'm happy with the win. Thought they drove a well controlled race. At least the Championship is much more closely contested this season.

Congratulations to Mark Weber, he drover a flawless race and put Red Bull in the lead of the Constructor's points. I believe that Mark will be with Fernando next year at Scuderia Ferrari

Great race for Mark Weber, he absolutely needed to put a good start for once here and he did it. The race was a bit boring, not much action on track except for the few laps with that mild rain where the top 5-6 cars where all 'bumper to bumper' trying different lines and trying not to loose control, in the end nothing happened.

Not the most exciting race but none the lest, another diff winner for the year!
Just wondering if Alonso was ahead of Nico and was chasing Webby for last 10 laps, you think result would have been same?
Btw, princess Charlene of Monaco was a Hottie!

Yes, yes and YES!!! To be honest MW drove a better race than most will realise. There'd be another 3-5 pages had Alonso or Hamilton won. Poor old Webbo.

He drove a flawless race. Exactly what it took to win and nothing more, which is the way to do it. It's a shame that he seems to not do this with regularity, else he would have had a WDC by now.

It wasn't shown, but looking at the gap and end result, it seems McLaren screwed up Hamilton's pit stop again. The consistency of McL blowing stops and Webber blowing starts makes one start to believe in conspiracy theories. I'm glad Webber broke his trend and gave us a 6th winner. Highlight of the race, really.
Overall boring race; felt like an hour of waiting for rain. Let's hope Montreal is half as good as last year.

In qualifying they have each out-qualified each other three times.
But why bother with facts when you can ignore that and do what others here do to Alonso on a regular basis?
Yes, I think MS is well past his prime, and yes, I would not be surprised if Rosberg (who is very good) beats him again this season. However, to just say his race results are horrible smacks of either bias, or lack of knowledge.
Sorry for the rant, but I know the "Alonso haters" drive you nuts...
