    Great drives from Vettel and Hamilton, and also Button getting third after his bad start and finishing 12 secs ahead of Webber.

    WTF was Vettel saying on the radio?

    So unfortunate the Ferrari was so slow

    Well done, Vettel. Brilliant Hamilton. Great race Button. Webber - get yourself a bucket for when Vettel needs to spit. Alonso - such a shame but you don't have the car to race Vettel.

    Michael Schumacher take a bow.

    I think, it was crazy frog. I also think my respect for Vettel has dropped significantly...

    Good race though, I'll echo the sentiments about Schumacher, he did well today.

    Great drive from Kobay to finish 4 secs behind his Team-mate and score a point after losing a set of softs first lap. Button, poor start but managed to make his tyre strategy work. Hamilton, good drive, the McLaren looked strong, and he drove it perfectly, I think RBR will win in Monaco, but after that I suspect McLaren to take over.
    As for Vettel, he looked to have been screwed by his first pitstop, but I think he dispelled the "can't overtake" myth today, forced his way through to take Alonso and ultimately win the race.

    Button: "Fernando's start: unbelievable!"

    Seriously, Sebastian Vettel acts like an arrogant piece of ****. Very lucky to have such a fast car.

    QFT.

    It's great seeing McLaren take it to Red Bull in the race but, if Webber shows up so poorly against his team mate, things are starting to look grim for the WDC.

    Well, the good news is that Seb's not just running away with it now.

    Feel a bit sorry for Fernando, should have saved tyres though, I think

    So who had the faster car Red Bull or Mclaren? Vettel and Hamilton were evenly matched but Button was faster than Webber.

    Alonso deserves a faster car than Ferrari are giving him.

    He is, though. He might not have been dominant in the race but he continues to increase his WDC lead while others are taking turns in second place.

    Button and Webber had different strategies and Fernando had no tyres

    Will Alonso rue signing such a long contract with Ferrari? Definitely third best team today, by some distance.

    What happened to alonso, he was right on it then just suddenly fell away. Great drives from vettel and Hamilton. good effort from button and the saubers too.

    Yeah but they both had the same last stint and Button finished 12 secs ahead of him.

    wasn't Button on 3 stops, Mark 4? If so, 12 secs is less than a pit stop
