This has been a fantastic Grand prix so much entertainment. The DBS is awesome givng the advantage to the car behind is great for 2 cars of similar pace, means they end up figthing all the time.

Ferrari where much faster than I expected and Renault too very fast today. Red Bull might be a bit unstoppable once they get the Kerrs working properlly. But I think this seasons gonna be all baout tyre wear and tyre stratergies. It didn't work out well for Hamiltion. Was that because he used to many tyres in qualifying yesterday?

I like the new DRS but the new wheels are just too much, so many freaking stops!

Pretty great GP anyway, lots of fun. LOL at Petrov's attempt at flight.

Good race by Button / Vettel / Webber / Heidfeld, shame about Hamilton's retirement.

Alonso: 'We hit each other.' - Gold!

Another awesome GP, very solid from Button, and its great to see Di Grasi scoring points.

No, he used the same as everyone else. The only reason Red Bull and McLaren did two runs in q3 yesterday was they didnt need to use softs in q2. I think his problem today was just tyre wear, due to him following Heidfeld through his first stint he burnt them out faster than his rivals which he didnt recover from. To counter this McLaren put him on hard tyres before the others which lost him his advantage over Button and Alonso. All in all it was a frustrating day for him.

They should have let Button past as soon as he was within 1.5 seconds of Hamilton imo.
If Button wasn't held up behind Hamilton I think he would have been able to challenge Vettel at the end.

Kobayahshi was real fun to watch.

Shame on Perez. He was doing well, but debris from Buemi's car lead to a power failure.

Congrats to Heidfeld. Great race.

Vettel is the Lee Young Ho of F1.

during that time, im sure they wanted to avoid a team on team situation. prob why button wasnt hitting DRS down the straight.

Good race. Still too many pit stops for my liking... It's really hard to tell what's going on at some point because even if you're 15 seconds ahead and you have bad tires you can lose that time in minutes. I like the wing change for sure... And I'm hoping to see more from MSC, I wasn't too impressed today, but I'm sure he still has it. Also poor Hamilton goes from 3rd to 7th in a few laps >

No. More pit stops is good it makes there more tactics and ensures the race isn't over to much latter. I'm all in favour of lots of pit stops. I guess it can be confuesing but thats kindave half the point.

Btw, Alonso and Hamilton each received a 20-second penalty, all the data in the op reflects Hamilton's change of result (2 points). No change for Alonso.
Alonso got penalized for moshing into Hamilton, Hamilton got penalized for changing lines 3 times on a straight while defending his position.

On an unrelated note, we got ourselves a Petrov special:

Looking like another Red Bull weekend. McLaren close in practice, will still be behind in qualifying (assuming Red Bull get their KERS working).
