    May watch the first few mins so I can laugh at the old git being taken out on the first lap then go for a kip.

    The first 10 laps were ok, but the rest was rubbish. I envy those who stayed in bed!

    Loads of drivers drove with determination, what Michael did was nothing special he simply did his job

    to wipe away the tears of laughter?

    If you call plugging around in around 20th place determination, Karthikeyan is the most determined driver on the track.

    I think DRS and Pirelli's are starting to get the anti treatment again.

    I would like to see Pirelli be really bold and supply the Super Soft and Hard for an event, chances are we would see more overtaking and the strategy would be more fascinating.

    Unfortunately, they have been quite conservative ever since Hungary really I know Lotus were not happy with Pirelli's choices of tyres as it took away the one advantage that they had over the big teams

    yeah, he was determined to ignore the blue flags and try and ruin other peoples races.

    As for the race in general, the battle between Button Hamilton aand Alonso over the first few corners were quite good, there were a few other good incidents, just not at the front.

    The fact it was a one stop race = fail for pirelli who were supposed to make multi stop races

    He was investigated and wasn't even given a reprimand so you're inventing a problem pretty much just because you don't like him.

    Julius: don't you think it's a bit harsh to say Miggins is "inventing a problem" simply because he doesn't like Schumacher? Clearly the stewards also considered Schumacher's driving to be, at best, questionable – since they actually chose to investigate it!

    I enjoyed the early part of the race, especially Alonso battling with both McLarens – and them with each other!

    Vettel had looked peerless all weekend, so that was no surprise but it was a shame to see Webber having trouble with KERS and Button killing his first set of tyres. Hamilton's pit-stop was amazing; but ultimately my driver of the day is probably Alonso.

    I really do hate DRS, another low when Massa passed Raikkonen today, he didn't even get a good exit to repass him, in fact he made a real pig's ear of it and still got past unchallenged.
