Couple things....

I feel so bad for Alonso cause he's never gonna win another championship unless he gets into a Newey car... you can clearly tell he's not happy at all during the podium celebration compared to Lewis and Seb who are relaxed and jousting at each other..

Another thing... anybody catch what Seb and Lewis were discussing in the winner's lounge? Lewis said something like he purposely took a different line on turn 1 so Alonso could pass and then he could overtake back with DRS.. then he said the Ferrari was too fucking quick and he couldn't even keep up with DRS. Seems like Ferrari took lots of steps forward over the break and RB still wins in dominating fashion

Pretty boring race for sure.. and apparently Kimi's retirement was cause of his own visor tear-off that got stuck in one of the cooling ducts when he was at the end of pit lane

First WOW Vet was fast :lawl: at the booing and Coulthard saying "we dont have to get into why they're booing"

2nd feels for Kimi :( Ham is ahead of him now in pts

3rd way to go Alonso for catching up but the car still sucks 17 seconds behind Vet in the end? damn

4th FUCK YOU REPLAY GUY keep cutting away from interesting points in the race to show useless replays

5th FUCK YOU TSN and your damned commercials!!

what live stream you usually watch it on?

oh and the booing wasn't for the drivers... it was for these retarded green peace protesters against Shell, Vettel normally gets good pops everywhere he goes

they were on the roof above the podium hanging posters and stuff which is why the camera showed the Newey, Rocky, etc instead

"Arctic oil? Shell no!"

I think mercedes made the right choice by stealing Lewis. Mercedes is second in points, very impressive compared to last season. I feel sorry for McLaren, I hope the Honda joint venture will be a game changer for them next year.

One thing I've noticed since Hamilton's move to Mercedes is that his maturity level seems to have gone way up.

I hope they have success as well, but unfortunately it won't happen until 2015.

while Ham plays a part in that i think most of it is due to mercedes' work look at the last few years their cars kept breaking down and just weren't competitive enough not true this year (as suspected they were going to improve)

which reallllly grinds my gears since michael put in all that work to help build the team and when it was expected the work would come to fruition finally BOOM he was "too slow in deciding to stay"



i still can't let that go ;)

I also think it has something to do with BlackBerry being one of their sponsors haha kidding.

Red Bull confirm Ricciardo to replace webber
PRINT: Red Bull confirm Ricciardo to replace webber

September 3, 2013 1:35 am
Filed Under: Formula 1

F1's 'silliest season' has taken a big step towards sanity, as Red Bull finally confirmed Daniel Ricciardo will replace Australian countryman Mark Webber in 2014 and beyond.

Austrian media reports said the 24-year-old has inked a minimally three-year deal.

"Continuity is important to us," Dr Helmut Marko said on Red Bull-owned Austrian television Servus TV.

"The contract is therefore for at least three years, as Daniel was not only the youngest candidate but also the one with the most potential."

Champions Kimi Raikkonen and perhaps even Fernando Alonso were reportedly considered for the plum seat alongside Sebastian Vettel, but team boss Christian Horner said the Red Bull-groomed Ricciardo was ultimately a "very logical choice".

"We could have taken an experienced driver, somebody guaranteed to deliver to a relatively known level," admitted designer Adrian Newey.

"Or equally we could take on a much younger driver in the hope that they'll develop to a very high level."

He said the decision was similar to Williams' deliberations at the end of 1992, when the new champion Nigel Mansell departed.

"We could stick with Riccardo Patrese or take a punt on a young driver called Damon Hill who was our test driver at the time," said Newey.

"I think it's good to bring young blood in and give promising drivers a chance."

On the other hand, Red Bull's decision might be interpreted as a nod to German Vettel's increasing influence at the team, as he looks set to win a fourth consecutive world championship this year.

Indeed, the German newspapers Welt and Bild both described Ricciardo as a "nobody".

And Marko admitted Vettel had a say.

"It is a team decision, so of course Sebastian was asked for his opinion," he said.

The timing of Tuesday's announcement was also odd, according to the Telegraph correspondent Tom Cary.

He said it came "in the middle of football's transfer deadline frenzy", and also with many of the sport's top journalists at the London premiere of the new F1 film Rush.

"Perhaps Red Bull did not want the publicity," said Cary. "The Austrian-backed team have been criticised in some quarters for being too conservative with their choice."

Red Bull, however, insist Ricciardo is not a 'number 2', and that he will enjoy equal status and machinery alongside Vettel.

But Dr Helmut Marko also acknowledged that, coming to the champion team from Red Bull's midfield runner Toro Rosso, Ricciardo will take some time - "three to five races" - to steadily adjust and get up to full speed.

For Ricciardo, the news finally becoming official was a big relief.

"It was a bit of a wait," he grinned on Servus TV.

"I've made sure I had my phone with me all the time!"

Marko insisted Ricciardo's current teammate, the similarly Red Bull-groomed Jean-Eric Vergne, had also been in the running.

"When they knew Mark Webber was leaving us, both of them upped their game," he said.

"Unfortunately, there can only be one. But Jean-Eric will have another opportunity next year at Toro Rosso. He is also slightly younger -- he just needs to have patience," added Marko.
