CloseCongrats to Webber, flawless drive. Alonso keeps out of battles when overtaking takes place to make sure of the points, this is why he is first as well as being a great driver. With many teams being quick now qualifying is so important, Button found that out today again..

"I didn't do it"
Alonso today chose to finish a certain second rather than risk losing more points. Hamilton in the same position, would have fought and in all probability either crash or destroy his tyres and be eventually passed by most other leading drivers.
In whatever you do in life you must be clever too.

A fine and reprimand.
Maldonado said it was unlucky today.
"Form follows function"
IMHO - he got off too lightly! He has no respect for other drivers and, if he continues down the same route, someone is going to get injured, or worse..
Williams should do without him... and his government raised money!!

Vettel only lost to Alonso due to bad start after he was tucked behind Massa and lost a contact with the leader. Chould've been 1-2 easy. Other than that it was hard to chose between Seb and Mark.
RB is back where they belong, against all those old time F1 prima-donnas!
Exactly, I don't discredit Vettel for coming in behind his teammate.. at least at RBR there are two drivers going for championship 
It appears to be yet another strong season from RBR and definitely the only contender to take this years is Alonso who is very damn strong in getting the most out of the car, making virtually zero mistakes and driving very smart with his car. It will be an interesting season yet because all three could take it.. I wouldn't mind Mark getting a championship either, he's been such a great guy in his F1 career and worked very hard at RBR in the past years. He's certainly a contender and Vettel needs to give it 110% to take it... the way it should be. I think RBR have a great competitive team spirit and it's going to be very close in the end between them. Now, Alonso will continue to be on his best form, so it could be fatal for RBR to have too much in house competition.
Certainly, RBR is back in very strong form and the only contender seems to be 1/2 of Ferrari.. namely Alonso

That was in part to blame the other guy for trying to go on the outside = very very damn risky. Maldonado's car is just too quick, perhaps he should try HRT out for a while...

Sadly, not just for practice sessions ... Even ticket holders for qualification ...
Of course, the rainfall has been v heavy indeed BUT this is not the first time that Silverstone's car parks have become mud baths and the surrounding roads will be gridlocked. It's a joke.
Welcome to Britain, where things only work when all factors are favourable.
Leaves on the line, wrong kind of snow ... Excuses, excuses, excuses.
We're only good at talking now.
You are being quite unreasoneable mate. You should see how things work in other countries where people drown when as much rain falls as it does over here. The UK is a very well organised country, believe me.

FERRARI RULES!!!
I have travelled a lot in my life. What I have shared on RT is a small proportion of the total. So I am well aware of how things work elsewhere.
The fact that, in some countries, things are worse is irrelevant. It doesn't excuse poor service here in the UK.
Do you travel by Tube? It is one of the most expensive metro systems in the world and yet, it is plagued with delays caused by signal failures and all sorts of other faults.
Perhaps you travel by train? Delays/cancellations are commonplace on the privatised rail network. There is already inadequate capacity but cancellations just make this worse to the point where people actually have to stand on a 3 hour journey because no seats are available.
The past few winters, there has been widespread groundfrost. But there was insufficient salt and grit to apply on the roads. Before that, many councils and the UK Highways Agency were caught off guard. They failed to send out gritting lorries in time. Result? So many roads were like ice rinks and were impassable.
In recent winters, some UK airports had insufficent de-icing equipment for aircraft. Result? Yet more delays ...
This summer is the first summer I can remember when a hosepipe ban ended earlier than expected. Chief Executives of the privatised water companies usually trot out well-rehearsed excuses for why so much water is wasted in leaks that have still not been fixed.
In other countries, if they need airport capacity, they build a new airport or terminal building. Here in the UK, planning applications for presently needed infrastructure gets bogged down in planning enquiries for up to 10 years (e.g. Heathrow Terminal 5, then a 3rd runway at Heathrow etc).
Blair took the UK into Iraq, a total disaster. So many servicemen's lives lost needlessly. We have already had 2 enquiries (e.g. the Butler report, a whitewash by a Whitehall mandarin) and still no outcome from the Chilcott enquiry into the legality of the Iraq campaign.
Moreover, UK servicemen and servicewomen were sent to fight with inadequate equipment. They even had to buy their own body armour since there were insufficient items provided to them by the MoD. And all we heard were excuses.
Do you honestly think anything meaningful will come out of the Leveson enquiry into phone-hacking?
How long did it take for the Saville enquiry to investigate Bloody Sunday, only to deliver a result that everyone already knew and expected?
Don't even get me started on the NHS and State education.
These are just a few examples. There are many, many more.
We have become a nation of talkers who make excuses ... often just to cling on to a cushy job.

Tragically, Maria de Villota has lost her right eye and she has suffered facial injuries.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-18711127
Why did the Marussia F1 car suddenly accelerate out of control and why was the lorry stationed where it was? These are the questions to be answered IMO
Today we woke up in Spain with the tragic news that she, Maria de Villota, was found dead in her hotel room, believed to be due to natural causes. She was doing great, she was very inspiring on how outlook on life after the accident, and she was going to present a book she wrote next week tired "life is a gift". This was so unexpected.
So sad, R.I.P.

It its unknown as of this time until the autopsy is done, but all points to "natural" causes so far, just don't know which one/s. She was to give a lecture/speech hours later, and she just got married this summer. So sad, she was a great example after the accident in which she lost the eye on how to handle a situation like that and rise from it..
