Hamilton's a prat. It looked like he steered towards Webber in the first incident and as for the second incident... What the hell was he doing to his team mate?

Button pushed him off the track - Been watching Buttons line on that finish straight (while it was green) and he's not taking anything near the same line. i.e almost on the grass

Crazy stuff. Cmon Koboyashi! Well, unless the session is red flagged.

Vettel wants the safty car, vettel gets the safty car.

So much for tyre strategy if you get a safty car the second full wets are needed. Just call the race off, there's no racing going on here.

Even if Button was taking a very defensive line Hamilton put his car in a position where he couldn't pass. He was being an impatient little tit and to double down it was with his team mate.

Bah red flag, are they racers or not..ffs!

If it's too dangerous to race when it rains, make them design the cars and tires to it is safe. These are supposed to be the best drivers in the world, lets actually see proof of this.

What are you on about? Vettel was on full wets, well ahead of the rest. He just took advantage of the safety car coming out to change to a new set, they're the rules. His strategy was perfect.

Rain sucks.

Come on, its a bit ridiculous. They are the best drivers in the world but the cars don't work in these conditions.

He helped the rules along a bit with his targetted radio chatter though. He got a full new set of tyres almost for free whilst everyone else had to deal with their choice of what tyres to change into when.

It got ridiculous towards the stop but the safty car was out for most of the rain before then. Starting the race with a safety car was stupid and a waste of a specticle. There was no chance of any of the thrill you used to get when cars raced in the rain.

As I said, best drivers in the world, cars which could easily be designed to race in the rain. The safty car should only be out in heavily reduced visibility or standing water in the race line, this wasn't the case for most of the time the car was out.

Sod Vettel. Eddynet FTW!

Well, at least the rain looks good in HD

Wonder if we'll see anyone having an ice cream?

[cutmymilk]

I just had a cornetto. They should really cut to Jake and EJ for a change.

PLEASE, NO! Bored enough without the added need to stab at my ears.
