    Yes it certainly was. It's at times like these that F1 anything other than boring. Mark Webber's live comment was a classic too.

    I got up to watch, but was too shattered and went back to bed. Thanks for no spoilers, be watching later if possible.

    Wow indeed! Can't wait for China next weekend 6am
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    What amused was all the comments before the race about how Hamilton had no F1 experience in the wet. He ended up stuck to the track with super-glue (apart from the one incident when he was hit) while the experienced drivers behind him were repeatedly sliding off the track. He definitely sent out a big "Who's the Daddy" to anyone who questions his skill.

    I really hope Ferrari get their gearbox problem sorted out, they seem to be having problems getting their brain out of neutral.

    I'm so glad I stayed up all night to watch the race live, it was amazing! I'm so gutted that I won't be able to watch the Chinese grand prix live next weekend

    I should have just stayed up to watch it when we got home this morning, as I've missed the rerun too, will have to record the highlights tonight.

    Ah well, Lewis won, so I'm not too fussed.

    It's always worth getting up at silly o'clock for an F1 race, its fun!

    Not the result I was after, but well played Hamilton and perhaps more so Kimi Raikkonen, top drives!

    Very disapointed for Mark Webber with the Vettel incident, but theese things happen I'm afraid.

    Yeh, feel sorry for Vettel. Great drive by Lewis, and a big point and laugh at Alonso!

    That's a matter of opinion. After the recent fiasco, I've had it with F1. It'll be nice if Hamilton wins (local boy), but beyond that, I've given up on F1. And I'm certainly not interested enough to watch it if. If I happened to be watching the TV on the right channel and F1 came on, I'd turn over. And that's coming from someone that spent years (no, decades actually) following it, and even going to races.

    It's had several dire years, and was just starting to show a little promise, but the recent farce has destroyed whatever vestigial interest F1 held for me.

    Re: Wow! That was worth getting up at 4:30!

    Was a great race, almost spoiled by James Allen. I can understand why he loves Lewis. I can understand why he thinks we all love Lewis. I can't understand why he thinks that the other drivers love Lewis... "Heikki will be keeping back from Lewis so as not to interfere in the champonship race". No, he won't.

    Also, the endless comments along the lines of "the light cars are going faster than the heavy cars" drive me nuts. Maybe he's just there to explain things for the new fans that only watch because of Lewis, but still.

    Anyway, well done Lewis, very well done Heikki ! Great last few laps with the both of the Ferrari cars involved in battles.
