7 as well. Started incredible, but had a little dull phase and was a little anti-climatic at the end. But still excellent overall.

Adrian deserves it. Best drive of the year for him, wasn't flustered by Button or the Mercedes, and gained some solid points to gap the STRs and Williams.

Lewis did very well at the crunch points and deserves the win because of it.

Felipe soaked up a lot of pressure from Vettel only to be let down by the Cirque du Soleil.

Kamui turned a bad qualifying into more points.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

So Vettel spun, ran wide, locked tyres at virtually every turn, had a brake problem and spent most of his day going slowly.

And still took 4th.

8.
No dominating but a real and lengthy fight for the lead between 3 drivers. Some other fights occurred too, most remarkably outside the DRS zone. Too bad the long-anticipated rain never came. Well...not too long until Spa. Next week race can be Valencia-esque.

He'd have been 5th if the other McLaren had been reliable.

Since I always pick someone from midfield, I go with Sutil. Highest-placed German who didn't buckle under pressure.

8. great first half at the front, second half of the race no more changes at the front but still good battles behind.

Incredible to see 3 cars so evenly matched though.

Bit of luck though. Jenson was no where, then retired when he got unlocked from behind others. Then Ferrari choked and gave him a position. Decent damage control (especially since Webber was only 1 position ahead), but luck helped a lot.

Pretty good race with the top three in close distance for most of the time :)

And if the FIA are going to be their usual selfs, it'll be 2nd when they DQ Webber for carrying a passenger and DQ Alonso for not having enough fuel :p

Great race and nice to have Vettel struggling. He'll still win the title though because he only really needs another 50 points from the last 9 races.

That was fun, lots of battles at the front in the first half. And that's what it's all about
