Here are the top 8 finishes:

1 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes
2 Fernando Alonso McLaren-Mercedes
3 Felipe Massa Ferrari
4 Kimi R?ikk?nen Ferrari
5 Heikki Kovalainen Renault
6 Jarno Trulli Toyota
7 Mark Webber Red Bull-Renault
8 Sebastian Vettel BMW

Nick was out after 55 laps due to hydraulics damage and look who just managed to get his first point in his Formula 1 GP debut...BMW's test driver Sebastian Vettel. He is the youngest in F1 history to place in a scoring position.

Hey nice drive by Hamilton. Above all i like the fact that he didn't get intimidated when Alonso pushed it hard. That's some cold blood.

I didn't see also when Alonso showed his fist. How could i miss it?! I must see this. Too bad he didn't make it. I expected him to win here but he didn't. When i saw the gap shrinking i said ok this is time but it appears that at 0.2 of a second behind Lewis his talent ran out (or smth ran out ).

Feel bad for Nick and what did he do there when he went out?!

On the German pay-tv it was shown and reviwd in slowmotion. He showed his right fist to his team and with his left hand he was pushing the radio button. We couldn't hear what he said, but I think we all can imagine.
It was the next lap, after he was pushing so hard. When they were coming to the straight they were on the far side, and he drove up to the wall, looked strange and it was clear that there was something. Then they showed it again, and then in slowmotion from his cockpit cam.
Those pictures are coming from FIA, the TV stations buy the feed from Bernie.

Alonso was clearly beaten on track!
