    Vettel for showing the nay sayers he can race without a dominant car.

    Perez for starting last and should have got 6th if it wasnt for the final lap

    Alonso for out-performing that car yet again.

    Vettel's overtake on Rosberg
    Perez keeping Hamilton behind for a couple of laps.
    Alonso being so close to Vettel at one point.

    Räikkönen for showing great pace and race craft throughout the entire race.
    Schumi for a great weekend, looks promising.
    Alonso for driving the socks of his Ferrari as usual

    Are we not doing the 'best team', 'best overtake' thing this year then?

    -Rosberg-Webber-Maldonado scrap
    -Great race for Maldonado, where the hell did that pace come from? Just a shame about the final lap, he was just pushing too hard
    -Sauber, fantastic
    -Alonso does it again. For Christ sake Ferrari, give this man a decent car!!!
    -Button drives flawlessly from start to finish. Shame it wasn't a McLaren 1-2.

    I just asked about that in the race thread and was told that it is Sportydan who usually creates that thread, though he haven't logged in since yesterday. He probably haevn't watched the race yet. It will come soon enough I'm sure

    Vettel's overtake on Rosberg was excellent.

    Have to say my favourite moment was Maldonado's cheeky little flick on Grosjean <laugh>

    I didn't have a specific outstanding moment. The start was probably the most exciting because I knew Button had it the instant the lights went out. Vettel probably made the race for me by threatening so menacingly throughout. It felt like a very short race. If I had to nail it down I'd say McLaren's double pit stop - confidence bordering on arrogance.

    Throughout the weekend, I thought there were several highlights deserving of Champagne. But these were the most special:
    • Button's win
    • McLaren's super-slick tandem pit-stop
    • Grosjean's qualifying lap
    • Hamilton's near-perfect pole lap
    • Räikkönen just being himself


    I'm not in the habit of celebrating other's misfortune, but these two things did not upset me:

    • Schumacher's retirement
    • Massa's dreadful driving finally causing his own demise

    Despite my dislike for him, I was rather hoping for a Schumacher podium.

    - Jenson bolting it after the restart
    - Hearing Kimi on the radio once again
    - McLarens double pit stop, cheeky stuff
    - Maldonado hustling the Ferrari on raw pace
    - Alonso getting the maximum from the Ferrari
    - Giving us no idea who will take this title
