Alonso 7th to 3rd in the first corner. :x What an advantage the clean side of the track has.

 

[zk1mpls]

Come on, Jenson! Get that podium!

 

[Sinner]

How $*%#ing unlucky was Mark... How ^&$%ing lucky was Seb?  

 

[zk1mpls]

Jenson clearly frustrated with his result on the radio :\

 

[Sinner]

Almost... it was their only strategy though... boxing for options, they would have surely finished 8th or lower... 

JB, "Mikey, can you make sure there's a nice, cold, cold, drink waiting for me? Cheers, mate" 

 

[zk1mpls]

Shame for Mark's transmission |I F1 taxi appearance Mark stepping on Fernando's nuts

Paying back the favour, apparently:

Great result for Kimi. Great drive for both him and Fernando.

Mansell and Senna

You would've thought Seb could've picked up Mark instead of basking in all the glory as he did.

Times like these make me wish we went back to the previous points scoring system. Heck, even the old Top 6 finisher scoring would do. Red Bull with a 103-point lead in the WCC over Ferrari :x Pretty much a physical representation of Red Bull and the rest of the field in that race :\

Now I wish Seb would've picked him up (Well, finger boy hasn't had any sanctions/reprimands afaik, so it wouldn't matter) The comments

To be fair, Fernando picked him up at a blind corner. Lewis almost clipped them both and Kimi was right there as well.

Having only one leg in the vehicle and going over 100kph though... :x

 

[flashout01]

gotta love the fans that kept booing Seb while in the podium

 

[Sinner]

Yeah that's why I followed up with the Alonso onboard... It did look quite dangerous.

This probably fully justifies the reprimand.

 

[zk1mpls]

Nico nearly clipped him :x

Should've definitely headed off the racing line.

Imagine if one of them were toggling the controls on the steering wheel while taking the corner... :x

On Fernando's and Mark's Twitter:

Mark Webber ‏@AussieGrit 33m
“@alo_oficial: Ey @AussieGrit ! Ready for Hollywood..? pic.twitter.com/sh62hczcRT” yes matey lets do it...@RealRonHoward can you us.?

clowns

 

[zk1mpls]

Yep.

 

[Sinner]

^ It feels like it, based on this season's results! 

 @ those two goofs.

 

[Sinner]

A lot of fans and pundits have taken shots at the stewards for this, but this really clears it up.  It was dangerous (Mark running out and Alo stopping on the line) and it deserved a penalty.  The stewards was lenient with their penalty, but too bad Mark already had 2.

[zk1mpls]

Yes, I agree. The CCTV makes the ruling definitely justified. Another fan video showed that Fernando started moving even before Mark had a leg inside the vehicle, as well. :\

Too bad the FIA is going to ruin everything by making it outright illegal to do so.

 

[Sinner]

Gonna be a loooong season.

Excited for the México Circuit!

 

[Thierry Henry]

Why? :x

20 races should be the max in my opinion.
