yea, in the last couple of races, I've noticed HRT drivers feeling brave and not letting guys through. They should feel lucky to race

[xbook]

HRT are roving chicanes, nothing more. Shit they can't even get a sponsor on the sidepod. It still says "Your Name Here"

LAME!!!!

[Kurohouou]

Good job Button and great race for Schumacher as well, was really hoping he would get on the podium! Maybe next time. He was really flying around that track between laps 50-63ish. Great race all around though!

Seriously a disgrace of Formula 1, the least prepared team.
In Australia, they failed to get the car ready, and only able to get ONE car doing one "flying lap" in Q1. And got kicked out of the race on 107% rule.

In most of the races this season they were lurking around the back and causing trouble to the front runners. They fail to recognize the front runners who are lapping almost 3-4 secs a lap quicker.

They also fail in development race and bringing proper upgrades to each race. Small team structure is NOT an excuse, Virgin, Lotus, STR and RBR in years ago are small team as well.

Sooner or later we will see some pole sitter and front running collide with an HRT or very slow backmarkers.....who failed to get the F out of the way and causing the front runners a championship.

Finally got to watch the race last night. Amazing race! One of the best races of the season for sure! What an ending!

Mark webber last year hit the lotus when they were in a similar situation to HRT at Valencia I think.

Remember when he went belly side up afte the lotus wouldn't let webber lap him?

Some could argue that it was the reason that he lost the drivers championship

Similar but I'd say a bit different....since its a long straight....some would argue that Hekki already moving towards left on the long straight....and Webber kept tailgating him trying to get the maximum tow....then towards the braking zone, heikki braked earlier than RBRs can....

And don't forget, even with the large speed differential...both Heikki and Webber are "fighting" for position, and they are on the same lap....

which in HRT's case....Narian should've just friggin jump out of the way....

I'd be interested to see their operating budget relative to other teams. I'm sure RBR spends more on one car than HRT on their whole team.

Now of course...RBR has grown....I mean back in the days....you can see their improvement year by year...and hiring the right people....
HRT...they are the same position as last year.....

I just meant for curiosity's sake, not for an actual comparison.

Mercedes is just on the pillar of being part of the Ferrari, McLaren, RedBull club...it'll be an interesting time in their development once they get back to Europe.

Seb spun out right in front of our grandstand, everyone was cheering when he spun. Now just have to decide on Montreal next year or the oven at Austin.

I was in the crowd beside that grandstand (general admission) but left when the rain was coming down, I should have stayed!!

We're also deciding between Austin and Montreal for 2012... both?!

That area where you were standing turned out to be a lake, you should have stayed, there were enough trees around to help with the rain. We brought large sheets of plastic and made a tent in the stands and sat under a drank beers. I love how you can bring whatever you want into the track. another reason I will stay with Montreal.

This was my first F1 race!! I am so glad I decided to go. It was really interesting to see how Button kept catching everyone once he had the drys on. I think Schumacher was just in an underdeveloped car compared to Webber and Button. If he had a McLaren or Red Bull he would have pulled away. Overall, great race. Now for next year I'll just have to see if I can swing both Austin and Montreal.

Button's eyes inside that helmet are enthralled. I couldn't help myself.

What an insane race!! Each one this season just keeps getting better! Glad to see that SV is human. I want the WDC to go down to the wire JB was on a mission!! What a drive! Wish MSC could have made the podium. Hopefully this will motivate him and the team to be more competitive.

And to the person that said SV acted like a b!tch, Not sure where you get that at all. Sounds like you're just a SV hater. He congratulated JB and was gracious, admitting he made a mistake and the JB drove a great race. Sure, there was frustration and disappointment in his expression but you try leading a GP for hours on end in super difficult driving conditions and then letting it slip away after one mistake. I think you'd look a bit bummed as well. Thought he handled it with class and graciousness.
