What are all y'all views?

Personally I have forgotten what was going on last race but I apparently Red Bull are doing well again.

Hamilton cocked it up, Button aborted a lap that would have got him up to 2nd.
I think the race will have a far bit of overtaking in it. Turn 1 will be clean, turn 2 on the other hand will result in someone fucking up and having to go through the pits for a new front wing (Paul DiResta i bet).
Red bull are running low downforce which is great if you're up front, but makes getting up front harder, but they've managed it. Vettel has a better record of staying on the track than Hamilton, so i think Mclaren are racing for 2nd and 3rd, which they might not get if they get in each others way.

Missed the first few laps, what happened to make 9 people drop out?

Pretty good race with Hamilton and Schumacher

Good race, plenty going on. That said, my interest is already waning knowing that I'll not see any/most of it next year.

Once Vettel got past Alonso, I pretty much forgot that he was in it.

Schumacher still gives value in the "driving like a nobber" stakes though.

Take schumacher out of that race and what would you have had? A thinned pack safety car restart, vettel passing Alonso and another forgettable race. I hated the prick when he used to do what vettel does now, but i'm bloody glad he;s back!

Good race. I like how vettel pushed so hard just because he could, rather than he needs to.

Schumi up to his old tricks, makes it a bit more interesting though.

Button is back up there now so lets hope he can get a win in the last few races.

i love it when button shows hamilton what to do

I've hated hamilton with a passion and always liked button since the early days when he was driving for B.A.R. But i actually gained a little bit of respect for hamilton in this race for not being a nob and keeping his cool even after the comical pitstop where he came out right behind shumy again

good race

Bit of a yawn fest again. The first corner crash was amusing.

Oh, and Hamilton was superb after the race. Drawling that Schumacher hadn't done anything wrong, but with such a look of weary cynical disgust on his face - he's just one tash short of the full Whinging Mansell now.
