I switched off the second Lewis crossed the line but fuck, if SV makes the podium in Singapore I'll be there booing for sure.
I think I'm hating Hamilton less this year. In fact anyone of those top drivers finishing races ahead of Vettel at this point is awesome.
I don't hate Hamilton at all anymore - if anything he's now one of my faves. Funny considering how much I hated on him 07 to 09.
The only one I truly hate is Vettel. There's a few I dislike such as di Resta (whiny) and Vergne (French), but Vettel definitely stands above them all as the villain of this generation.
I still have a massive disliking of Hamilton, but it's not as big. He's growing up. If he'd get rid of his shit facial hair in some way or grow it out a bit then I may discount the hate even more.
Yep, usual useless strategy by Torro Rosso. Someone over on the autosport forum said it the best:
Every single DR race seems to go like this:
DR qualifies the car higher than it should be
DR keeps all/most faster cars behind him for the first stint
Everyone else pits while DR stays out
DR eventually pits and is undercut by the 4/5 cars behind him and ends up about 13th/14th
DR pits and comes out behind the rest of the midfield but still in front of JEV
DR maybe gets 1 or 2 positions back on track with fresher tyres
Everyone pits and DR stays out
DR is undercut again and ends up behind them all including JEV.
The end.
Man, what a snooze fest. Almost as bad as the cricket. Too bad the Maldonado incident didn't warrant the SC... could've mixed things up a little back at the front.
Loving the boos again on the podium tonight. What a cunt.
I'm just excited I can continue following F1 next season backing an aussie in the front runners. No different, really. I can't imagine any immediate success but the kid has got my full support. Also Hulk to Ferrari would be something special.

He laps pretty damn well once he drops The Fear... but all too often you can see him ease off ever so slightly when he should just be pushing it that little bit harder. I think it'll come to him this year now that this announcement's been made, but it'll take him a while to relearn it next year after officially being in a top-tier team.
Give him 6 months, I reckon he'll be consistently qualifying in the top 4 no sweat.
that's incredible.
