As great of a race as it was, and as happy as I am that 2 Ferraris were on the podium, the thing I can't seem to get out of my mind is a Toyota passing a Renault. Holy crap, how the mighty have fallen. I said it last winter (oh wait, it's still this winter by the amount of f'ing snow we have here ) I just don't think GF is driver #1 material and the team is going to suffer because of it.

Speed tracked Flavio down in the pre-reace show, and Flavio made it real clear, they have a problem, and they know it.

It was a great race, now there are 3 drivers leading the championship with 22 points, close fight is always fun to watch.

It was good to see Kimi having troubles passing Alonso, understeering like mad. He looked a lot like Massa, except for not having the big off! Makes Massa's mistake last time not quite so bad.

The top pit teams are just incredible. I keep expecting one of their stops to make the difference in the race but, so far, it is down to drivers and cars.

Nico Rosberg's performance was disappointing, for someone who did well on this track before. Seems like he lost his patience?

So, any amusing Jenson Button quotes this week? And what was up with Davidson not pulling over sooner when his car blew?

Too bad we didn't have a post-race interview with FA. Would have been interesting to hear his comments on why LH was faster all weekend and why he lost places during the race.

I think Hamilton has been Ron Dennis' protege for the last 10 years. He was groomed a long time for the McLaren drive.

I like LH but at the same time hope for FA that he won't be slower than LH in his home race next. That would be real tough for FA to deal with.
