Webber wasn't unlucky
He got what he deserved when he was taken out.... prick
Vettel you can't deny hes a bloody good driver (ok there was some luck involved) Unlucky Hamilton he had it in the bag
Championship is getting tight

how the hell did vettel go from last to 3rd, I watched highlights, he had to come in for a wing as well, making his way through backmarkers, then around lap 33 ish on highlights he was suddenly behind Button ! most entertaining though was race radio Kimi "leave me alone !!!" "I know what am doing..............."

Was a very good race, much as it pains me to say it, Vettel drove AWESOME, got the strategy right and deserved a podium. Great to see Kimi winning again and Alonso, Mr Consistent again

Vettel, lost time starting in the pit lane, lost time for a wing change, so, how many seconds behind the leader was he at that point and how many seconds per lap faster did he drive to catch the leader.

I'm going against the grain here, Vettel didn't have that good a drive to be honest. He lucked out, big time.
He only really had to overtake slow drivers that his Red Bull overtook with ease. It was all luck with the safety cars. The only 'difficult' overtake he had to do was to take Button for third, and even then it was a no brainer with the RB geared differently, and Vettel on newer tyres.
Had a third of the pack not been taken out with various incidents Vettels job would have been much harder and he wouldn't have been up in third.
Red Bull and their bending of the rules is ruining the sport IMO. They were given a penalty meaning they had to start from the back of the grid. So what do they do? Create some bullshit story about bringing the car in to the pits from Parc Ferme to "diagnose" the fuel issue (I would guess they've been running quali with less fuel for a while now, it's only because they aroused suspicion by stopping Vettel on the track, leading the FIA to do a thorough check on the fuel), when in fact they brought the car into the pits and modified downforce and gearing so that it made it easier for Vettel to overtake (thus almost circumventing the penalty!).
Christian Horner is a slimy git IMO, and don't get me started on Vettel swearing on the podium. Given the amount of times he's been up there and not said a word, Kimi does his standard and drops in a swear, and suddenly Vettel has to "prove himself".
Sorry - they've got on my nerves a bit this season.
Kimi had a good drive, Alonso had an excellent race, shame for Hamilton, Button did OK considering, Webber was lucky and unlucky at the same time (he shouldn't have taken those risks but did well to avoid reprimand). Nico Rosberg must have had pretty brown trousers after his crash, and very unlucky for Hulkenburg and Di Resta IMO.
All in all a very exciting race - however it does nothing to improve my respect for Vettel as a driver. Hamilton or Alonso in the same car would wipe the floor with him.

RB haven't broken any rules, Adrian Newey is an absolute genius
When they have been told to change things they have (diffuser, engine maps) They were the ones clever enough to find the loop holes in the first place
As Alonso said hes not racing Vettel, he is racing Adrian
Can't remember where di resta came but he seems well off form at the moment?
