Should have dived into the pits! That has to be a mistake surely?

That was a mistake by Hamilton as you don't get your fuel back!

All the drivers are back for a final lap except for Kubica

The gap between Kovalainen and Webber and Raikkonen is huge. If the fuel loads are similar, Kovalainen should have an easy race!

Of course we could have a wet race!

Ferrari must be scratching their heads, and posssibly now praying for rain.

Congrats to Kovi, that was a mega lap. :D
