A genuinely good race IMHO, some silly pit mistakes maybe cost us some entertainment but there was some good racing going on there right through the field. Gutted for Lotus.
Hoped Weber would do one on Vettel at the end, but the RB team made the right call on strategy. C'est la vie.

Indeed, was disappointed with Lotus as well. Heikki had done well in quali and as he said in the interview, he was revelling in the conditions.

I enjoyed that race, action all the way from start to finish. Just a shame Vettel's championship lead didn't get dented any more and Button couldn't finish a bit higher to help out McLaren in the constructors. Good to see Massa still managing to keep it together though I obviously Alonso's still head honcho. Seb was lucky to get past him in that last dash pit stop.

Just watched the highlights, god knows how they chose them, seems to have been action all the way through. Hopefully Hamilton, Button, Alonso and Massa can do more damage to the dominance for the RB's. Gotta feel for Button having to be retired due to hydraulic failure considering most cars are showing high levels of reliability these days.

Jeez, shows where my head's at the now - had forgotten he'd actually went out lol He was coming back as well and looked like he could even perhaps get a podium but it wasn't to be :/ Seems McLaren are getting the most DNFs this year of the top teams, mostly through human error than reliability it has to be said.

Was a shame to an extent that Webber couldn't get past Alonso. I don't like the RB's dominating, but Mark I think's the most deserving of a championship chance and I think he needs a win to take it back to Seb. His standing in the team's been a little off for a while and though they know he's a great racer, I don't think he has full confidence in RB. Only reason he's stayed is because he knows they're still giving him the best chance to win the championship and I don't think he'd perhaps work as well in a Ferrari/Mercedes/McLaren team environment.
