I liked Vettel over the last several seasons, he is extremely talented obviously, but his helmet size so far is much bigger than understanding he is contracted to do a job....hope he gets it. Next i'm sure he'll head to Ferrari.........that would be interesting.

I'm liking Mercedes GP. Lewis & Nico w/Braun could be a great fit...almost felt like Michael was holding the team back a bit because they wanted him regardless of his less than stellar performance. Nico i'm sure learned a lot and Lewis seems really
hungry again!

Not a big fan but thought better of him for what he said about standing in Nico's spot on the podium.

x2. Quite a different attitude from the spitting & hissing between 1st and 2nd.

Webbers stance during this part of the interview....

...had me wondering if he was about to mark some territory.

This is by far the best analysis yet of the post race events. The picture/animation at the top pretty much sums up my feelings about the whole thing:

Enjoy!

Good lord What a race.

Impressed with Lewis; he's good at reading the signs and determining that throwing his teammate under the bus is not the best tactic. Really like him and Nico as teammates.

Also what's with NBC Sports not showing the qualifying lap during the pre-race track analysis? I really like watching the full lap.

Non F1 guy here. Let me get this straight, the crew chief told the guy in second not to pass the guy in first? A NASCAR drover wouldn't have bothered trying to pass the guy in first, he would have pulled into the pits and punched the crew chief.

Racing aside, I was happy to see Bob Varsha covering it this time, instead of Leigh Diffey. Wish they'd keep Varsha in
that seat because he makes a good team with Hobbs and Matchett, but maybe he has a commitment to stay with Speed??

You have to like Tony Stewart "going after" Lagano. Pretty funny, but if Webber had chased down Vettel and a scrum occurred......would have been epic!

X2 for Varsha commentating
