Hamilton, Button, Alonso, Vettel and Webber for providing the best dry race of the year.

Ultimately though, Hamilton.

[estheticianI]

has to be Hamilton really, although Jenson and Alonso were very good too. Red Bulls ok, nothing spectacular.

Kubica did well with a damaged car, Buemi raced really well to end up in 8th i think, including being the only one to pass MS without getting into contact!

[hictchewisa]

hamilton, he manged to hold up Red Bull with enough blockingfor long enough so they never got by and built a lead, then went on hards and kept them all at bay....

Not sure how vettel ended up so early on softs??????Ruined his chance at a win right there

And Webber had a prtetty good lead, and they should have pitted him earlier, very much, and got his stint on softs over.......done a button, and might have had second.........n

Freddie should have won, if he had managed his situ better

[Qxkmsxsx]

I wouldn't say anyone stood out really, Hamilton, Alonso and Button did a good job looking after the tyres for so long.

Buemi came out of nowhere to get 8th so good job by him I guess. And Kovalainen easily the fastest of the new boys and was running as high as 6th after all the pit stops.

1. HAMILTON - Supreme performance and showed excellenT pace on 40 lap old tyres

2. ALONSO - Gave Ferrari a great morale boosting podium after a wretched few races

3. BUTTON - Again worked his tyres well and took advantage of Alonso's troubles with backmarkers to claim 2nd

4. LIUZZI - Best ever grid start and recovered from a 1st lap nightmare to take a hard earned 9th

5. BUEMI - Storming drive from 15th and beat Schumacher fair and square in their little battle, a fully deserved 4 points

6. KOVALAINEN - Again best of the newbies and ran as high as 6th at one point, also consistently within 2-2.5 seconds of the pace of the leading pack

I don't think I could put Alonso up there today, he got passed twice on track by cars that seemed to have similar pace to him.

Aside from the usual suspects I think Buemi did really well today. Put a good pass on Schumacher which as we saw was a risky thing to do today!

[Savviioor]

Has to be Lewis. Great drive. Honorable mentions for Jenson and Fred. The race was amazing, clash of titans!

[Anneskobsen]

Hamilton. The only thing I'd mark him down for was the pitlane exit but that's the teams fault and not his. Button was his bitch again.

[Savviioor]

Jenson drove very well and was nobody's bitch. Lewis was simply better, but Jenson also drove a perfect race.

Jenson tried it on and Lewis always had an answer. As always, dry race, Hamilton on top/

[Savviioor]

But he tried mightily and lost to maybe the fastest driver in modern Formula One. And also overtook the crafty Alonso. As I said, simply amazing spectacle.

[nithhysfusy]

Hamilton, button, Alonso, buemi, liuzzi, webber, sutil

there were some outstanding drives today

[MarythePuppy6]

For me Button gets driver of the race. Started 5th and finished 2nd in a crazy, difficult race.

Buemi also gets honorable mention. Started 15th and wound up 8th, and like said above, passed Schumi which was a risky move today since more than 1/2 the people that got close to him got ran off the road.

Lewis Hamilton folowed by Jenson Button... Both Mclarens delivered, and hopefully this is the start of many more..

Hands down: Hamilton. I was cursing McLaren at the beginning because of their tire choice. I figured the harder tires would last a LOT longer than they did, and that soft tire choice would kill Lewis in the beginning. Even near the end, when he was leading, I figured he'd wear his tires out more quickly than Jenson and Alonso, and would end up in 3rd by the flag - if he didn't pop a tire and wind up against the wall. Til I saw him approaching the checkered flag, I still wasn't convinced that he was going to win.

I was pleasantly surprised that the guy with the worst rep for being hard on tires did exactly what he needed to do and scored a bullesye!

I haven't checked yet, but did Hamilton also get Fastest Lap?

[Ingeborga]

Kubica got fastest lap in the end, he finished the race on a fresh set of softs and was about 1.5 to 2 seconds a lap quicker than everyone else in the final 6-7 laps

You're not the only one, even Martin Whitmarsh and Ron Dennis thought the hard tyres were going to last a lot longer.

It certainly seems that Lewis has learned to manage his car and tyres a lot better than he used too. Which has got to be a major worry for every other driver on the grid. Where are his weaknesses now, 3.5 years into his F1 career, and what hope for anyone else when he's accumulated 5 or 7 or 10 years experience
