Yep, Well done boys, Podium for R. Kubica & lead in the constructor's champ......I'll take that.
Clean race for BMW and consistent results.
Moreover it seemed only a bit slower than the Ferraris and faster than Mclaren. I like the way BMW stand true to its goals and they aimed for poduim finishes for 2008 and competing on par with the top teams (not only as a third force in F1).
Hamilton under pressure
and i think the team too. Kova probably smells some more room and things might get worse for Mclaren.

I like Hamilton, but I hope it's now clear to those blinded by his early success that he is less of a Shumi, Senna, Kimi, Mansel and may (it's early days yet) be more (of a drive from the front while in the best car) like Massa & D. Hill, but a bit more talented & consistent.

You get all of this from one race, in a driver's second season? Please. Even Schumacher was prone to the occasional very basic and unforced error. The guy had a bad start. Everything else followed from that.
It's not about him making mistakes, I'd say it's more remarkable that he dosen't make more,........the problem I see with Hamilton (...and granted I didn't spell it out) is that he has the tendency to have these long periods (often during the middle stint) where he turns mid pack type lap times while the elite drivers are banging out fastest lap times. This has happend in almost all his races, regardless of his position but most often when he is down in the order like he was today. Next race, bring up live timing from Formula1.com & watch his lap times, vs. that of his rivals & team mate.
