lol yeah it was a great race.
I was torn between wanting to see him and raikonnen going toe to toe and just wanting him to take an easy (thanks to his rather impressive driving) win
What a fun race to watch. Very impressive driving by Hamilton.
More races should be like that, lots of spins and mistakes. What on earth went on with Massa? He was like some sort of F1 n00b today.Heiki seemed to just drop off the pace too. Strange...
Just to reiterate, that was some driving by Hamilton in challenging conditions. Enjoyed watching this GP.
Was a very nice drive by hamilton, some brilliant passes from heidfeld too.
They should just hose down the track before every race
Heildfeld was brilliant - who says he's boring?
How many spins did Ferrari have?!
Hehe, yeah I think all the wet races are more exiting and require greater skill. I also like it when the weather changes mid race too, that way strategy becomes much more important. Can't believe that Massa span 4 or 5 times in the last corner, seems Ferrari don't like the full wets same as McLaren.Originally Posted by chuckskull

Great race, I really feel for Mark Webber. He entered a mountain bike race last week and my brother and his mate's business did the timing. When they were entering the entrants and numbers into the timing system they noticed a one Mark Webber - Red Bull Racing and wondered if it was him, so they checked the DoB on wiki and it was! Him and his mate are big F1 fans and because the events are on Sundays it always clashes with F1 so they have rigged up an aerial with a PCTV card so they can watch it as they do the timing. Webber came over to talk to them and my dad spent a good 10 minutes having a chat. He was a really nice bloke on all accounts, laid back and jokey. Anyone who wanted an autograph got one and he would even suggest to people they take a photo with their bikes alongside him. So I'd like to see him do well.

It was an interesting race not pleased how heikki blantly was given team orders to let hamilton through though ... Not a fan of decisions like thatWhat a fun race to watch. Very impressive driving by Hamilton.

Massa was fantastic in testing I thought, although that was a bone dry track! Shame he did as poorly as he did would have liked him to have a far better result.

Massa was awful in the wet, wasn't he?
Well we've seen Hamilton pass like that many times, nothing to say it was team orders and with heiki on the lighter fuel load the team orders were more likely to favour him.
he was an absolute mess.
Whole Ferrari team was distinctly amateur today. Amazed they got a 4th tbh. Horrid tyre choices and Massa was all over the road and a lot of the grass, didn't see them even trying to fix the setup, just hung him out to dry with a horrid car.
World class driver losing it in a straight line more than once; something was very wrong with that car.

I can't say I've ever seen him pass like that... :\
Peerless drive, but clearly he had something the others didn't. It's fair to say Ferrari made that a lot easier than it need be too, though they just didn't have the car to challenge when there was standing water, even after Kimi had changed back to fresh inters. Good to see Hamilton get his head in gear after 3 awful races (Monaco included).
Not one mention of Rubens yet? Was already in a strong P5 when he was one of the few to have the balls to make the change to extreme wets, and probably would have had 2nd had it not been for yet another Honda cock-up with the fuel hose.
I'm not an F1 fan these days, and generally find races boring, and rarely watch more than the start and about 10 minutes during the race. Though, not so much this year.
That, however, was the first full race I've watched, and actually enjoyed, in years.
Why? So much happening. Some action, and some real racing.
Right until the end, despite the lead Hamilton had, there was still the possibility of a screw-up and it all changing. And, further back the field, there were some start performances, Barrichello and Heidfeld for a start. Shame about the fuel-filling problem.
Makes me think maybe F1 does have some prospects, after all. Maybe.
Taking a long dive up the inside.. It's pretty much his signiature move by now.
Is it a dive when the other bloke brakes early to let you through? Pantano's move yesterday was much more impressive.
I can't think of any examples of him taking a dive.
Proven by the fact that the rest of heiki's afternoon was such a good drive?
He's done it to kimi himself from a country mile away, can't remember the particular race though.
Re: Hooray for Hamilton!
They've forced Silverstone to spend all that money on upgrades over the years and what do they do, steal Donington Park off MotoGP, and will probably ruin the circuit to make it 'good enough' for F1...whilst we get lumbered with Silverstone...BAH!!!.
