Now to get Vettel into a Ferrari. Bye bye Kimi I say. Lips Sealed

Not sure Kimi will want to give back his $30 million though Grin

call him a $30 million gift to STR.

Massa was already on his new engine, but the problem cropped up in quali that wasn't worth risking on an engine heavy track.

Excellent race! Not to detract from Vettel who drove faultlessly - really impressive - i did think at one point that the win was hamiltons. No rain came though, but stll probably the best perfomance other than vettel. Some great overtaking.

Not sure what was going on in the red cars though, Kimi yet again didnt seem interested or to be 'trying' then suddenly starts going quick at the end. Not good enough! Massa - i expected a little improvement on his grid slot. Shows who the real 'new rain masters' are though i guess Grin

From 15th on the grid i bet hamiltons pretty pleaed to come away with a 1 point lead, although really he should have done better in qualifying.

Did i hear the ~~cock~~ james allen say 60 percent chance of rain at the singapore night race? Cant wait for that Shocked

Vettel may well be something special - a fine drive in any case, and 20 years after his bosses win (the only non-McLaren win of the season) in 1988.

Good bit of damage limitation by McLaren too.

Driving the ring road at home in the rain under street lights at 40 mph is hard enough with all the reflections, now do it at 200 mph Shocked

BAAAAAH! The German and Italian anthems on the podiums! FLASHBACKS! Who would have guessed before quali that Vettle would have schooled the entire field?

Hamilton drove a great race. I was in Kansas City all day at the NFL game in blustery 50degree F temps and the only time I shivered all day was during the race at home that night! Also Kubica passes Kimi for 3rd in the championship.

JUST IN: FIA penalizes Hamilton for existing, Massa promoted to position -1, ahead of Vettel.

Great race and a very deserved win. Hamilton had a good come back under the circumstances. Not sure what Kimi was up to and I think Massa should have been a couple of places further up the finish order, after all he did play his joker and have a new engine to race with, qualifying on his old one. Still a reverse grid was very entertaining....................maybe we should have this every other race Grin

Matt

Forgot about the joker engine, what if that rule was not in place? How crazy would that have been
