Congrats to Kubica for another podium. He was so smart to hang back and let the Mclaren-Ferrari battle carry on in the first corner, then take the inside for the lead. It's nice to see him and BMW so high up in the points. I really enjoyed this race--good and bad.

He still dose not know sometime you don't have to become 1st to win.

Should be a fun race early this morning. I think that again the first corner should be VERY interesting.

Very impressive performance from Hamilton - pole, fastest lap, and a dominant race winner. But for some of his own impetuousness (e.g Canada, Japan) and being blatantly and unjustly f*cked by the stewards at Spa he'd be champion already.
And what a great maneuver from Massa to pass Raikkonen...
:thumbsdown:
Still - will make for a good weekend in Brazil. Let's hope it rains....

I mean it was so in your face that it was really shamefull for the red team. Shame on them, shame on those kind of actions and further more shame on F1 stewards for applying the law only when they please. I mean yeah everybody would like to watch F1 drivers championship going to the last round but NOT by not appling the rules. I mean F$#@ em for applying stupid rules like giving drive throughs when a driver has to pit on pit lane closed but not giving harsh penalization when it was clear that was not a sporty move, not a performance result and for sure in the detriment of not just Hamilton but the whole sport.
