    Those flags are the most exciting thing about today. Still, well done Mark.

    Well done mark you didn't crash. Other than that you could have gone as slow as liked without being passed.

    If Hamiltons start worked he may have grabbed 2nd, still would have fallen back probably. Vettel was fortunate to make a few easy places at the start with the crash.
    Well done Webber <ok>

    Button has been really terrible recently. He will be a close 2nd for my worst driver vote on sporty dans poll

    Really disappointed with the Perez/Kovalainen collision(s). Into the first corner, I don't think Kovalainen did anything wrong, but Perez touched him and broke his front wing, then the second time out of the tunnel, Perez cut the chicane to overtake, and I'm pretty sure he didn't give the place back. Kovalainen finished 13th, but without the incident he probably would have caught Vergne (Perez did), and probably would have taken 11th, which would have been a massive result for Caterham.

    oh now it starts raining hard <doh>

    JB was just frustrated at the pace of the car and stuck behind a Caterham for 70+ laps. Canada next though!

    His race was ruined because he did not cut the first corner like some other drivers so he lost places. And then he almost got hit by a flying Sauber.

    Button had got up into the top 10 before everyone overtook him by cutting the corner. <grr>

    Mclaren pissing their title chances down the drain. I'll admit Seb was fortunate with the early crash, but he made the soft tyre work well to get infront of Hamilton.

    They're lucky Lewis is able to limit the damage!

    Yeah and the McLaren traction was poor that he could never pass anyone. When the caterham pitted he was held up by a torro rosso and couldn't make up any time. Nothing he could have done.

    Given that Buttons spent half of the races out of the points, that not as big as i expected.

    Lewis putting a brave face deservedly, but he does look annoyed with his performance.
