Only atched teh race late last night as I was at Brands all day - very hard to ignore the race when it is on every telly there

Nice looking race but pretty boring to watch for the most part.

Kovalainen did the smart thing at the end. Only an Idiot would drive a burning car into a crowded pitlane at the end of a race.

Hamilton went for it, didn't make it. People would just moan that he's not trying if he didn't try to go for it. can't win with some people.

I hope webber wins the WDC now even though it means i'll have to put up with a load of gloating Aussies. 

+1 to most of that.

Stonking drive by Kubica towards the end with some great moves. Would love to see him in a more competitive car next season.

It is all starting to slip away from Button though -

You need luck to win championships and I think Webber has a few pints of it

Don't like Almoanso but he drove exceptionally well all weekend.  Kubica was awesome in the last few laps of the race too - shame he had to pit for a 2nd time as he could have been a lot further up

but for a handful of crashes....it was boring as hell.

Agreed    Once the McLarens had failed to get off the line properly and Almoanso held off Vettel the result was pretty much inevitable

It can go for all i care , just dont replace it with another 2D boredrome.

Singapore and Bahrain are the two worst for me

I'd like to see the Singapore race in the rain. I reckon that would be interesting. By interesting I mean full of crashes.

Dont they get monsoons and that over there? it would be brilliant for f1! lol

They do, but normally in the late afternoon and they start dying off a bit the month before the gp anyway.

when it rains it rains hard , we got caught out in Kuala Lumpur and nearly drowned on dry land 

speaking of malaysia

Looks like Lotus really mean business. Renault engines , mike g , 2 strong-ish experinced drivers.
I reckon they'll be troubling toro rosso and sauber next year.
