Fantastic performance by Lewis. Just glad he didnt cock up or say something daft.

F1 in the wet with no TC is fantastic, why did it take the FIA so long to realise that.

Massa was comical

Raikkonen did extremely well to pull back what looked like a shocking result to remain ied for the championship. Hamilton really did look good today, but I reckon Heidfeld did better, given his equipment. Barichello really did well too.

That Ferrari really doesn't like the wet does it!

Massa once again proving my point that he cannot drive in the rain...

I think it really highlighted the gulf in talent between Massa and Raikkonen. The Ferrari was oversteering all weekend - I'm amazed Raikkonen kept it on the track in the wet - must have been a handful.

I admire how Hamilton seemed to be able to dodge the standing water that effected everyone else.

Raikonnen was off several times too. And as you say they had problems with power oversteer all weekend, and I think Massa was probably just trying too hard. Quite entertaining watching him spin every 5 minutes though.

Worst performance was Kovaleinen. Lapped by your own team mate when you started on pole. Oh dear.

And on reflection his pole time wasn't as impressive as it seemed as he was several laps lighter than Hamilton and the other front runners.

Well done to him.

Credit is due to Hamilton - he drove a good race

Whether there are any form lines to be drawn from the race, I'm not so sure

Some bad tactical errors by the teams

But I thought Rubens was really Mr Unlucky
