I, for one, don't hate Vettel for taking the place from Lewis. Sure I'd be mad as hell if Lewis lost because of it, but Vettel ran his race, as he should have, and as everyone should do.
i think you're alone on this trail of thought lol...
:? What a weird quote, in or out of context...He didn't need to win, so he didn't bother trying. We need more drivers like him.
That is so true. He wasn't racing for points or places anymore, unlapping himself past the fight that was about to decide a championship, that was quite... rude.I must say I can't believe that Kubica decided to pass Vettel and Hamilton.
I'm not saying that Vettel couldn't have gotten around Hamilton without Kubica passing them, but we never would have known, and it nearly decided the outcome of the championship.
What was he thinking? :?
Think about this, if he had pitted and changed to inters, Lewis would have still finished 5th and we wouldn't have had such a dramatic finish.
I read on another site that Kubica was still on the slick tyres. Any confirmation ?
Congrats to Lewis for not actually blowing it this time around...
WTF. He did blow it. The only reason he got it is because Glock fucked up. He was the luckiest person in the world at that moment.
Also, don't forget that if Glock went for a tire change this situation wouldn't even be possible, he would have rejoined behind. That was pure luck that we got to see Massa within reach of a championship.

IMO Glock should have held them off. He had 15+ seconds on Vettel and Hamilton and even the ITV commentators were saying that Hamilton needs to make a move on Vettel because they thought Glock was too far away.
Oh please, do enlighten me with your "logic".
The only reason Glock was in front of Hamilton is because Timo & Toyota rolled the dice and gambled on staying on dry tyres - that gamble didn't pay off and he was a sitting duck for both Vettel & Lewis. In the end Timo didn't gain or lose any places from his position before that final rain shower.
Or, put another way - the only reason Massa had a shot at the title is because Glock & Toyota took the gamble.
