    Once again, great performance by Alonso to capture 2nd with a 'less than optimal' car. The top step even looked like a possibility going into the final pit stop.

    Good win for Lewis also. I'm certain his pop-tart will call to congratulate him while maintaining she's not hooking up with her "new best friend".

    Didn't see that before one of Speeds 5 million commercial breaks, sorry

    Unfortunately, I'm not sure it had much to do with him spinning and he also got his ass comprehensively handed to him by FA today. Not that he should be beating FA, but he should be closer than this...

    Oh well I'm sure Hamilton will feel a whole lot better after today.

    I was going to ask if he could finish in the pits for a second there...

    Fernando and a car that's actually a contender would be a scary combination. His driving right now is better than ever, IMO.

    Fantastic race by Lewis. I think we were deprived of a titanic battle between him and Vettel with the latter's early exit.

    Well done Ham, I'm sure you needed that win, just a pity I did want to see him wheel to wheel with Vettel.

    Great drive from Alonso.

    Great drive from Button

    Webber's lost the plot. Pathetic effort this year.

    Just when FA needs a good, or even just average, pit stop......the boys are on a break or something

    Don't be so hard on him mate, Vet is one hell of a team mate to drive against.

    Would like to hear opinions on Hamilton today. Based on all his past race. Troublemaker 'Lewis'.

    The Massa fight ruined his race...they both lost contact with Button after that.

    Kind of a star-crossed season for Mark. I thought he would be right there in the battle with Vettel after last season. Something's not right though.

    Lewis wins!

    Anyone but Vettel won. Wooo wooo :D

    Happy B'day to Lewis Mum! No wonder he won he was whining pre-race about having no family at races lol.


    Good result for Alonso in 2nd.

    Button lucky to get 3rd.

    Webber unlucky again with a poor stop and weird strategy but he dominated the times all race and did well to be only 9.9 off Button.

    Massa.... errr he can't blame Lewis today :eek:

    Maldonado needs to get the sack.




    The race wasn't as boring as I thought it would be :eek:

    Yes, pathetic, but even considering a good stop that car just doesn't have the pace on the harder tyres...hasn't all year. Even if he had gotten out ahead of LH he wouldn't have been able to hold him off.
