Its the same old scenario, He's a very good driver, one of the best for sure, in the best car. Still think Hamilton in an equal car would have the best of him.

It's getting precessional and BORING again. Having one driver get the win/pole all the time is not good for F1. I agree with big Steve, Hamilton is more than a match for Vettel in the same car.

Even though Vettel has a great car, I still think on his day he is the best driver.

I hope to see Di Resta doing well again.

Di Resta drove a brilliant quali - couldn't believe it when he popped up 2nd in q2.

Easy to see why Vettel put in such a great time. His car looks so easy to drive. Perfect balance excellent traction from the renault engine and clearly good on the brakes, i've never seen him lock up this year. He was on the power much earlier and carried more speed through the middle sector watching his on board lap.

Compared that to Schumacher, he's under steering / over steering, weaving under braking. The RBR car is in another league.

Glad Button is doing well. Out quali Hamilton.

Vettel's pace is ballistic. I think he will drive a strategic race tomorrow and will only really use his reserves if he needs too.

I don't think it's boring at all this year!

Totally agree, adrian newy knows his shit. Isnt it funny how all the problems happen on webbers car? definite favouritism in the RB tream.

Did i mention that Vettel is a german cunt?

Vettel had his fair share of unreliability last year Steve.

he did and came back to win. he is a world champ. BUT and its a big but, he has easily the best car so you would expect him to win. his car is amazing and he is wringing its performance. just dont think hes the best driver, like i never thought schumi was, always thought hakanen had the measure of him.

Stick my neck out here but webber is way overrated.

There are a handful of mid field drivers that would do better in Webbers seat.

Webber often has issues with balance, getting the tyres to work and seems to have lots of mechanical issues.

RB clearly look after their main driver more, whether it is more man hours on the car, more checks or newer or upgraded parts. Webber knows this, he doesnt have as much skill, he's a competitive Aussie and i think knowing he is the 2nd driver has a big psychological impact on his performance. Big age difference too, his time is running out to win an f1 season and Vettel is his #1 threat.

Good drive by Hamilton, Red Bull strategy screwed Vettel who was helpless with those shot Tyres. Defended pretty well. The grip Hamilton had with those 6 fewer laps was alot.

Schumacher drove a good race too. Webber was a man on a mission!! They really need to get that KERS working.

What do you think today?

Webber drove a cracking race today and did remarkably well to end up 3rd.

Good win for Hamilton though

Did Button cheat...that is the question?? According to MW #1 he did....

Nevertheless...you're only as good as the car you're given. Put Paul DiResta in a RB or Mac and he'd be podium for sure. Great driver, would love to see him in RB soon.
