5 hours of my life wonderfully wasted. I enjoyed every moment - aside from the 2 hour wait, of course.

Glad Jenson won, there were some great battles and the race itself was one of the best I've ever seen.

Amazing race from start to finish...except the 2 hours break in the middle! :D

I wish we saw a real battle between Vettel&Button instead of Vettel making a mistake. But Jenson deserved to win the race, though so did Vettel :lol:

I wonder now what will they do about Jenson's pushing Hamilton to the wall, maybe 5 place grid penalty for next race?

And how I wished to see Schumacher back on podium instead of Webber, nevertheless he was so fierce today/tonight!

Finally, it's so nice to see people talking here 8-)

Wow @ this race, so many battles and everything :o

Glad to see Jenson won, better he than Vettel.

Only bad moment (imo) is Nick's crash with Kobayashi. Koba slowed a bit to much in that moment. :-?

Totally daft race at times - it had everything

Amazing win for Jenson, who would have thought it, Vettel making a mistake on the final lap!! Jenson is good at looking after his tyres more than most

Schumacher and Kobayashi weren't helped by the dryer conditions late on so they were swallowed up eventually as were in slower cars, which I guess resulted in Nick Heidfeld's scary moment

Can't believe they let the race take so long, I thought there was some sort of time limit?? As for Lewis, yet more stupid driving sadly

Still 22 laps to go, but the race is kinda boring. Vettel leading as always 8-)

Yeah that one wasn't exciting as the last few. Vettel is just too dominant at the moment.

Not sure what happened to McClaren in that one!

Well you can't have thrills and spills every race - but that was really uneventful with yet another Vettel win, another Schumacher collision and somehow Alguersuari finishing top 10 and that's about it

I know we can't expect every race to be thrilling but that was fairly dull.

What a race! Congrats to Alonso finally a change on top! Bad race for McLaren. But in the end Lewis 4th.
Good to see Nick in top 8, I didn't though that he will be in points today! Congrats to him! And well done to Perez!

An all round good race. Glad someone finally managed to win over Vettel, but sad to see Button retire. Wasn't keen on Red Bull telling Webber to back off at the end. He and Vettel and professional drivers, they both know what they're doing so the team should've put more trust in them.

Solid race though.

He's been handed a 5 place grid penalty for next week's Hungarian GP. :wink:

Good race, and it made a nice change not to see Vettel on the podium.

It's completely ridiculous from the fans' perspective. I've watched F1 my whole life but can't afford SkySports so I'm gonna have to just watch the highlights on BBC. The BBC have done such a fantastic job with hosting F1 coverage, now it's all gone and been spoilt by frickin' Sky.
