"Leave it up to Sebastian Vettel to make winning a Grand Prix boring"
I'd like to start off by giving you my sincerest apologises for the lack of coverage this weekend. I work most Sunday's but that's not excuse for qualifying. Truth be told Bahrain bores me, and I would never have predicted Nico Rosberg getting pole.
It was actually an okay race, a great race in terms of Bahrain. But leave it up to Sebastian Vettel to make winning a Grand Prix boring. How anybody can call that a great drive is beyond me, he coasted because once again he got his luck of everybody else's misfortunes. I've now come to the conclusion that Fernando Alonso is just really unlucky, or some things are not meant to be; like winning a world championship at Ferrari.
Due to Alonso's season so far, Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen is emerging as the only challenger to the puppet boy's title.Even though a solid drive (issues with his start again) from 8th to 2nd is a great drive from my favourite driver, for the second race in a row my driver of the day (joint with the next guy) goes to his team mate Romain Grosjean. Grosjean is showing top form at the minute, like his perfectly controlled overtake on Rosberg on lap 20. He has come on leaps and bounds, and I'm really happy for him.
My other drive of the day has to go to my man, Paul di Resta! After giving off 'Kimi-style' over the radio during qualifying, the Scot took all of his talent out of the box and through it in everybody's face today.Granted with the tyres and his Force India car he was never in for the win, but his 1st podium was definitely on and in a way I am gutted for him. He will be filled full of confidence and will be coming in to Barcelona with a vengeance!
What happened to the pole sitter? The same thing that happened to his team mate (coincidently on pole in China), Mercedes do not have race pace. I knew it was too good to be true, and I thought the occasion may have got to Lewis Hamilton last week, but it's apparent now the car is a little behind in terms of out right pace. Their McLaren rivals had a better race this week. Great inter-team rivalry on track from Jenson Button and Sergio Perez was marred by Button running Sergio off the track, but the Mexican got his revenge by finishing higher than the Brit. Jenson needs to calm down but more importantly, the team need to tell themselves that if one driver has the pace during a race, the other should just fall back. More points would be guaranteed.
After the Grand Prix Jenson has stated that Perez drove dangerously. No Jenson, he drove with a desire for success, you've gotten lazy my very beautiful friend. Get back in the game.
DANGEROUS
Move over Grosjean and Maldonado, there's new wreckin' boys. I have to say, I would not have noticed unless a friend pointed it out to me before today's race, but Giedo van der Garde is becoming a very dangerous driver. An unsafe release was one thing but he completely melted down by t-boning Jean-Eric Vergne. He's still not as bad as Esteban Gutierrez. It's time we found that wee fella's suitcase and send him back, he still has much to learn.
A NOTE TO PIRELLI
I've had enough, and I am finally on board with the rest of the F1 fans, Pirelli either need to make these tyres last or get Bridgestone to show them how it's done, because I am sick and tired of seeing a piece of rubber dictate how the best drivers in the world (and Sebastian Vettel) drive their cars.
Paul Hembry's response to Felipe Massa's wheel falling off the rim was an absolute disgrace.
"Massa's been unlucky"Aye, unlucky to be a customer of yours you fat bast**d.
PROTESTS
I don't care what you're living conditions are, or how badly you're being treated, DO NOT bring YOUR problems into the world's stage. Sport should not be about external politics. These are politics related to a country's way of running things, and all other politics that are not involved inside the sport. Take a look at this guy:
Somebody should tell that dick his photo is from the wrong era. So not only can you not deal with your own problems correctly, you make an arsehole of yourself doing it. Ass hat.
I'm quite content with the result. I'm just gutted because I know the Lotus won't have the luck and fortune over the worlds most luckiest blond boy. I still believe Kimi is the man to win, but he will not have an easy time doing it.
