Congratulations to Jenson Button on another fine win. He took the opportunity when Vettel made a mistake but given his pace, he would have won anyway.
Mark Webber had to finish ahead of his teammate and did just that. Now he is very close to Vettel in the point standings.
Sebastian Vettel made a mistake on the first lap and lost the lead. 2 mistakes in 2 races won't be good for Vettel. He was clearly unhappy on the podium.
Jarno Trulli finished 4th which is a great turnaround for the Toyota. Still he was a long way behind the front runners.
Nico Rosberg did well too to finish 5th. It was very close with Trulli for 4th
Felipe Massa finished 6th in what clearly is a dissapointing result for Ferrari.
Given the poor performance from BMW Sauber, it was good to see Kubica in the points, his first this season in fact!
Glock made it into the points managing to leapfrog a number of drivers ahead of him and making it a double points finish for Toyota.
Raikkonen, Alonso and Hamilton, all World Champions, all out of the points!
Hard luck to Nakajima who may have scored a point had it not been for his very long second stop.
Your thoughts and the driver of the day ?

Again, I voted for Button. Superb drive and the Red Bulls had no chance. Webber, Trulli and Rosberg also did well
Very dissapointed with the performance of Renault, I thought they will do better, I guess the same goes for Ferrari.
Amazing but it is almost as if we are back at the start of the season. There was Brawn ...... then Red Bull ..... then Toyota and Williams
What a season!
Don't know what Button and Webber were doing at the press conference when Vettel was talking but did they know that millions were watching them!!
Perhaps they thought there were no viewers just like there were no spectators on the grandstands

Yeah, the little private conference between the two was intriguing to say the least...................JayVee wrote:Again, I voted for Button. Superb drive and the Red Bulls had no chance. Webber, Trulli and Rosberg also did well

Webbo imho asked Button something to which he did not receive a wholly satisfactory answer, then Button thought better of it, and added an appeasement, but I would love to know the topic..............Vettel?
They did have the air of two seasoned campaigners having a chuckle about the antics of the young gun on the podium.

It was a good race, even though I would have expected more overtaking and more movements between positions.
JENSON goes as smooth as silk and I couldnt resist to vote for him as my DOTD. MARK did everything right, he is a tad slower than SEBASTIAN(who wants more than the team and occasionally more than the car can deliver) but made no errors.
REDBULL have produced a great car but remain just that bit short of BRAWN especially on race pace. However they could start to get their strategy right, some poor decisions there this season!
Good drives from most of the guys, the manoeuvre of the race however has to be NELSONs pass on LEWIS going around him on the outside. Mind you, might have just secured him the Silverstone drive with ROMAIN firmly in the starting blocks.
FERRARI were a bit, MCLAREN very disappointing...
Where does the difference between REDBULL and TORO ROSSO come from?
