    Nice job by Kimi all things considering. Too bad the team made such terrible decisions because he looked solid to win this one...just like the last 3.

    Why no full wets for Massa?
    Should've been done if only to test for Kimi.
    Ferrari need a brain with experience in the pits.

    The choice not to change the tires at Kimis first stop ruined the race. This wouldn't have happened with Brawn/Schumacher.

    I WAS hoping ;) ............... for Ferrari's sake (what a stupid tactical error on their part when they kept the old inters on, still it may have been Kimi's call)

    Yes I did-but remember even a broken clock is right twice a day. LH drove a great race, but let him do it consistently in all conditions on all tracks w/o mental mistakes. Canada was only a month ago....

    i can't believe how Ferrari shot themselves in the foot again by not changing Kimi's tyres. does this always happen at all wet races? i think if he did have a tyre change, he might have genuinely challennged for 2nd or even for the win.

    btws, congrats to all top 3 drivers.

    +1 and Id like to know if Kimi agreed to NOT change tires. No matter though, Ferrari strategy was pathetic, hire Ross Brawn back. Anyone but the current strategy team.

    I'm with you steve - good for lewis. Massa had a crummy weekend thanks to it all starting with the big off thanks to one mr alonso. Ferrari should have followed the chassis rule and given felipe a decent car.

    this nonsense by Ferrari only seem to happen at wet races. at least we know what to expect at the next wet race. really pathetic. we had our a$$ whooped by Mclaren.

    KR with a tire change would have come out of this leading the WDC but still Kimi did a good job of damage control...

    This was Kimi's race to win or lose. Its that simple. No excuse. I think Ferrari kicked their own A$$.
