Nice bit of post-race conversation between the top 3.
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

I think its obvious that Red Bull have a supreme advantage in qualifying. However, McLaren can match them in the race. 14/15 very interesting races to come. Monaco and Canada could be a lolfest

Oh boy I am so excited for Monaco! It's my favorite race of the year, it's just so fantastic!

It's worrying how RedBull and Hamilton are fast during a race! Alonso was leading them for about 15 laps and then he finish one lap behind!

Heikki Kovalainen is the first driver to DNF after a crash!

And Alonso lapped in his home GP.
I wonder what the Spanish commentators will have to say about that :zz:

McLaren will do well in Canada - tyres will last about half a lap there. I'm going with Kobayashi on the podium.
As for Monaco...

Lobato makes me so mad that I have been watching RTL instead of laSexta. :blush:
I suppose it will go into the Domenicalli is the one to blame, it's been going in that direction since weeks.

Fascinating to see that the gap in Qualifying between Vettel and Hamilton was 0,8 and in the race 0,6 :lol:
