Thanks to the DDD

Was that James Allen? I couldn't tell who it was.

Maybe he also has Kobayashi fever?

Get rid of these crappy cars... I counted 3 overtakes this race, Liuzzi on Nak, Kov on Fis, Sut on Kov (although that failed)

Button on Kubica

Rosberg will get a 25s penalty according to Button for setting his best S3 time under SC, so Barry 6th, Button 7th

Button complaining about Rosberg setting his PB in a sector, Button thinks about a penalty.

I'm disappoitned about the way he is thinking now, that's not the way you want to claim the constructors title! Apperantly it is for Button.

Brawn's Ross Brawn: "We sort of edging our way to [the constructors' title]. We seemed to lose out on the safety car. Nico Rosberg was just on the right bit of the track at the right time. We didn't do a great job in qualifying again, and that hurt us."

Jenson Button on BBC Radio 5 live: "Rosberg gained about four seconds on us under the safety car, he set a green sector under the safety car so we will have to see what happens with that. I have got one point, maybe two so we will see. But either way I have only lost one point to Rubens so that is good and I can't imagine us not picking up another point each."

Mark Webber on BBC Radio 5 live: "My race was over after two pit stops in the first two laps so we turned down the engine and did some chassis work and testing for future races. We are still just about in the constructors' championship so we need to turn up in the next race because we haven't turned up for the last four."

Third-placed Lewis Hamilton: "We had a great race. I tried to get both of them at the start, but they both started well. Me and Jarno had a great battle. Just after the last stop, I lost Kers and when that happens the brake balance changes and all sorts of things. Once he was in front, it was impossible to keep up with him."

Second-placed Jarno Trulli: "I knew the start would be most difficult. Generally we don't get very good starts and Lewis had the Kers. It was a fantastic race for me after that though. I enjoyed it because the car was very strong. Eventually, thanks to the team and strategy, we got him in the last pit stop."

Race winner Sebastian Vettel: "I do [feel great]. What a race. Strategy-wise we were favourites, but the start was important. It was closer than I thought it would be at turn one. After that, I just tried to push every single lap. I was able to pull a big gap quite quickly. I was pretty much in control until the last stint on soft tyres when there was the safety car."

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner on Vettel: "He's got nothing to lose. He just has to win the next two races."

David Coulthard on BBC One: "Vettel is now closer than Kimi Raikkonen was when he won the championship in 2007."

Well, after their penalties for going fast under yellows, Rosberg should get the same

Really happy for Vettel, Trulli and Toyota here. Hamilton too, but his luck hadn't been that bad lately. ;) I don't know why, but these guys are among the few I really want to win, whereas others such as Button or Kovalainen leave me rather indifferent.

Speaking of Kova, he ruined Sutil's race in a rather dirty way. Dude, when the other car's gotten ahead of you, at some point you've got to concede and back down, otherwise it's pretty obvious what's going to happen. He should at least have gotten a penalty for that (not that it would've helped Sutil in any way, but still.)

Hamilton now has got nearly double the points of Kovalainen..

Post by **phil1993** » 04 Oct 2009, 07:05

I like Kova but even I think they need a new driver... he is not McLaren material

Rosberg: 'What Button says is incorrect for sure'
