What.... no props for the Loti and for Finn's countryman? 5th and 6th to far better funded teams. And they are looking stronger and stronger.
Also the pit lane nightmare, Kobie, and Moldie both get fines.

Great job by Weber! Vettel not looking quite like the boy wonder unless he is out front. Nice to see Massa have some fight in him. Kimi looking great as well, love how at the end he finds speed when no one else can. As far as my man Fernando, great job and I really thought this time they got the tire strategy right but some how in the end, when it counts he had failing tires. Canada's debacle and today will, I fear, have very negative points consequences at the end of the year.

Maldonado has been handed a 10,000€ fine for wrecking Perez.

Try it....hehehe
First verse:
"Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"

Yes, but what other National Anthem can be sung to the theme of 'Gilligan's Island' ??

Webber needs to have them play the Gilligan's Island theme for his next win!

I agree, these are valuable points that should not be thrown away by sub-optiomal strategy.

Canada, yes, but I am not certain that Ferrari’s strategy was an issue yesterday. Using the harder tires at the start actually looked like a good decision. The Ferrari seemed happier on those tires and there is logic in leaving your mandatory soft tires for the last stint, with the car at its lightest. I think RB was a better race car yesterday and a different strategy might have seen Alonso back in 2nd or 3rd earlier on in the race (this is just speculation though). I just don’t think it is cut-and-dried strategy error on Ferrari’s part… it may have been the opposite.
Very good drives by all the top finishers yesterday. No real mistakes for any of them.

You're right, I also think Ferrari's strategy was fine. Hards worked & work great for them. If Alonso had started on soft tires, he might've ended in 3rd or 4th.
Main problem was Alonso out driving the tires...
(had to throw that in there since there was praise for his "equipment friendly" driving)
