Shame Sky+ missed the interviews as the programmer over ran so I'm recording it again to see them.
Even then I didn't get all the programme.

Think I need to lie down now. 
At least Sky+ got all the race and the podium.
Wet races.
Stange how these things turn around. At the start I was thinking it was going to be another Indianapolis-esque sham of a race. It's pretty clear they were being over-cautious; sure give them a few laps behind the safety car to get used to the conditions but nothing really changed when they started racing, and apart from Alonso's accident, there weren't any serious incidents.
I feel a bit sorry for Vetel.

Best performance of the day has to go to Race Director Charlie Whiting.
He must have been under a lot of pressure from everyone in the pit lane to pull the race, but in the end one of the best races of the year, especially the ruck between Massa and Kubica at the end.
As for Ferrari, they should have been black flagged for blatant cheating at the start of the race.

I smiled a broad smiled when Alonso was in tatters in the wall.
Awesome little last few corners scrap between Massa and Kubica
Well worth recording and watching for a change

Ferrari are saying they didn't get the email until 7 minutes after the race had started. 
I guess they can prove that.
And Vettel has been given a 10 place penalty for the China grid for crashing into Mark Webber.

I guess they can prove that.Maybe they didn't open the email until 7 minutes after the start of the race, but I can't see how they cannot have got it in a timely manner.

Maybe none of the other teams bothered because they were going on extreme wets.
Can't see how race director can make teams go out on certain tyres, surely it's up to the teams ie their risk.
