I wish the damn tyres would last longer. Four pit stops???? Ridiculous!!!
Spending too much time watching people pit.
Of course this is just my humble opinion so no need to jump down my throat and tell me how wrong you think I am.

Sebastian Vettel wins the race ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Nico Rosberg, Nick Heidfeld, Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi make the top 10.
Vettel won by just 0.6 seconds from Hamilton as the two fought it out in the final stint of the race. Button managed to get up to 3rd going for a 3 stop strategy while Webber could only manage 4th place after dropping two places at the start and then losing a lot of time behind Alonso.
Worth mentioning is Nick Heidfeld who started 24th and finished in 8th.
The race gave us a number of changes in the lead and also some overtaking which is an improvement over races at this track from previous years.

What does everybody think about the fact that most of the drivers had to do four pit stops?
I see that Alonso was not happy with Pirelli.
Which I can't blame him for after the great start he had in the race!!

Pirelli didn't make Alonso waste a set of softs in qualifying, and didn't make the Ferrari a slower car than the McLaren or Red Bull.
I prefer overtaking due to tyre degradation rather than the DRS, and very much enjoyed the race. Overtaking was eminently possible, but not a piece of cake (as Webber discovered).
