Phenomenal race, my favorite of the year by a long way. I would put this on par with Montreal last year - I never knew who would end up on the podium, let alone clinch the win.
Surprised that few commented about the stellar drive from Massa; for a driver who had only recently been thrown into the '2nd driver' role, he quite convincingly beat Alonso and, were it not for some shoddy strategy from the team, could quite conceivably have ended up on the podium!
Button seemed to have slept on the wrong side of the bed today, and was lucky to end up with 4th. He just seemed completely lost.
And of course, Hamilton and Webber were superb today. Hamilton's drive was the sort that separates a good driver from one of the greats.
