It certainly was an entertaining race.

I think Massa's drive through wasn't necessary, I mean, everyone else was doing it too.

Anyway it was very difficult to beat Mercedes, not impossible, but difficult. And I'm glad for Mercedes, for Rosberg specially, he's really nice.

I was left wondering again: "why doesn't things happen to Vettel or Alonso?"

First race of 2013, Kimi won the race for Lotus.
Last race of 2013, Lotus zero point.



Can't wait for 2014!

I have to change my opinion on Massa's drive through. Since I read both Mercedes drivers reported Massa was constantly passing his 4 tyres over it.

But since Mercedes was the team who was most benefitted by the penalty, there are always suspiscious thoughts on my mind. And Hamilton also got a penalty so that made things even. I wonder how much money there is at stake between 2nd and 3rd in Constructors

I can't believe that a driver who claimed once 'if I had to pay for it I won't drive in F1' now talking about 'given podium' as something valuable and worthy talking (crying) about.

Massa eventually took seventh following the penalty, and was certain he had been on for a podium.

"For sure Fernando would've let me by at the end, so I'm sure the situation would've been completely different," he said.

"But in the end, I don't want to think about that, I want to think about the nice time I've had with Ferrari, and the friends I met and all the opportunities I had as well."

Asked by AUTOSPORT to explain exactly what he and Alonso had agreed, Massa replied: "We didn't have any agreement, to be honest, but he came to say 'whenever you are behind me, I will let you by'."

I never had much respect to him and he just confirmed another time why I didn't

have no intention to kick someone who is not in a good position, but last two races just reminded me why I didn't rate Heiki highly. Good driver, but not close to the best drivers.

and more from Mass-idiot he just don't know how to keep his mouth shut and obviously has wrong idea how prostitutes work , they don't pay for service, they are getting paid.

Technically he just called many teams prostitutes (not drivers as he thought)

the guy is an idiot

Yes, hes not very clever with words, as everyone can see.

I also expected more from Kovalainen, not podiums, but at least some points...

I don't like this pay-drivers-era either, I'm glad that drivers with talent and no money can still get into F1. But since the sport has become so expensive, I don't see that happening a lot. Unless the driver is born with a God-given-genius-like talent, but we only see those kind of drivers once or twice a decade.
