    Save Schu's misfortune, that was an AWESOME final 10 laps of the race. Kudos to Nico for getting the win (with a little help from Button's pit crew) and from both Button and Hamilton for getting 2nd and 3rd on a possibly ill-advised pit stop (I felt it was at the time, but they regained their positions).

    Brass ones on Webber also...he drove like he owned the track and took it to his teammate.

    As for Ferrari, Fernando gave away a couple of positions with his off-moment, but I think he's earned some forgiveness for it.

    Take away the final 10 laps, and I was going to complain about how they've seemingly taken away passing in F1 this year.

    +1 to all. :D

    'If Schu didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all'

    Good to see him smiling on the wall though. Class act ;)

    Schu was already passed by the McLaren duo before his misfortune, but it would have been nice to see him in the mix with all of those other F! champs.

    Agree about the "most intense boring race ever". If not for the final 10 laps...

    "been there, done that...."

    He's probably the ONLY guy on the grid who would smile in that situation. Sucks that he was foiled by the racing gremlins. TOTAL class act, giving his teammate that big gap by controlling the cars behind him.

    True, plus the fact the others will be playing catch up with F-duct pipes a plenty.

    For all of the hand-wringing about Red Bull, they are right there in the championship mix.

    Lotus expected to lodge a complaint with Ross Brawn's mother about SuperDRS.
