We'll still have to see if they end up banning blown diffusers. But even that won't stop Red Bull from taking the crown.

I'm no Vettel fan but if I had a forelock I'd be tugging it. He's winning on merit, so best of luck to him. It's up to the others to up their game.

That's true. It was also true in 2002 when Schumi and Ferrari swept all before them. We saw how the FIA, not to mention the media, reacted then. The stupid rule changes brought in after 2002 have taken years to rectify.

I know. We need even more battling and overtaking, put the cars on ovals.

The best driver in the best car winning the races and in time the title its how it should be.

Agree.
What do people want, why can't people enjoy seeing a currant and future champion at his best.

Catering to the occasional fan is the worse thing a sport can do, but then again they are many, too many.

A lucky win. Certainly in the dry this year's RBR isn't as good as last years, IMO.

Lucky?! Based on what? Certainly not track position.

Yessss. He was so lucky to get himself into the lead based on speed and strategy.

Of course you make your own luck but I was more interested in whether Vettel would've lasted 60 laps on a set of tyres. If he did, then it would have been a great win. But hey, a win is a win.

There were only 6 more laps to go and the RBR was more stable and with better traction then the Ferrari and JB was not even trying to threaten Alonso. Vettel was set to win it anyway.

I agree. Had there not been the set of circumstances around the first safety car, I am sure Button would have won, but given what happened late in the race Vettel's win was fully deserved.

Weren't there about 10 laps still to go when the second safety car came out? The big unknown was whether Vettel would reach the "cliff" on the tyres.

Button didn't exactly look as if the passes were guaranteed though.

he never ever even tried a move on Alonso even though he was close. Looked to me that he was waiting for the tires of Vettel and Alonso to go off. Not the right attitude to earn a driver of the race nomination, let alone the race win.

The safety car was out for 2 laps before it was red-flagged so it was 8 laps to go.
