Pretty good race. Surely Red Bull have to start thinking about getting behind one of the drivers now in the Push for the championship. If they don't they are definitely going to run the risk of walking away with nothing. I hope it ends up being Webber I really do and with 4 wins for the season and the championship lead he is becoming the logical choice as well. If he can extend his lead at Spa surely they'll have no choice.
Vettel has fallen victim to what I have named the Hamilton effect. He used to be such a nice friendly and humble guy (as much as you can be in F1). Now he's had to much silver spoon stuck in his mouth and has become a whiney, spoilt little princess. He's not quite as bad as Hamilton is with his pretty little tiara and shiny earrings but he is fast becoming that way. A shame really I liked him when he first started out with Red Bull (as opposed to Lewis has been a douche since he started in F1 and just gotten worse).
Haha yeah^^
I think Vettel expects people to accommodate him too much. Its eveident in the way he does certain things and thinks hes "won" before he really has. The little moments like when he over-celebrates getting pole like he's just won the bloody title, when he drove into webber before he'd FINISHED the overtake like he just expected Mark to just back off for him, and it looked in a way like he just saw Mark's race as a write-off in Hungary and assumed he had the role of the leading car setting the pace behind the safety car in his own head, as if Webber was an afterthought! Maybe it was cleverly disguised team orders for him to bank up the other cars, but he said he got no radio so I reckon it was all his own fault.
It aint won till it's won!
Anyway, he'll mature a little bit.
I actually think Lewis has been a bit better since he's been with the super chilled Button. Jenson sets a great example of how to be humble, yet confident.

Jenson is THE MAN, I really like him, he's very very personable. He's the only one of the bunch I'd have a cider with ^_^
Absolutely, always been a fan of his. This thread is good reading, I don't follow/understand the intricaies of F1 that much I just like to watch the racing!
I understand more then I ever figured I would. It makes quite a bit of sense to me. Still the politics are a bit odd. I much prefer the engineering / technology / mechanical side of things.
Wade, whats it like as a racing spectacle being there in person? As good as it looks on tv?!
Cheers,

Dude, it was unbelievable! I left sarah in Kerpen with some German friends of ours (actually just down the road from schueys go kart track!), and drove there and camped from thursday arvo till monday morning in the campgrounds with the crazy euro boozeheads!!
Just walking around, having to walk thru the areas of forest to get from one spectator point to another and the general admission access is pretty good really. Awesome vibe. Weather was all over the place and the whole village turns into an F1 party!
It's good to see on tv but they have all the giant screens everywhere too so you can see the tv coverage while you're there.
I ended up getting a little balcony spot in the toilet block up on the hill at the entry to pouhon. there was some crazy guy manning/cleaning it who let me and two other guys cram in there. Then he sticky taped my Aussie flag to the roof way up which Webber saw and pointed at on the parade lap!!
So, yea good on telly but nothing compares to the sound and smells of the real thing. Its magic when you first hear the cars echoing thru the forest up the straight after radillon!
