    Kubica or Alonso I'd say - Alonso came form the back which was impressive, and Kubica did well with the Renault which isn't really up to the spec of the top 4 teams. Hamilton did well too, as of course did Button.

    I'm not sure whether to account the excitement of the race to rain - in fact, I'd guess it didn't. The rain was very limited - a light sprinkling it appeared and they were on intermediates. It probably added a bit but I would say that woulda been a good one with rain or not.

    It would certainly have added to the excitement if the Bahrain F1 the track would have been flooded about halfway the race....

    The rain did effect it simply because it tosses the field around for a bit. People are in the wrong spot and makes driving off-line more trecherous....If it was dry I think it could've been every bit as processional as Bahrain....

    We'll see Malaysia, but that's known to rain too....

    Hamilton is being a brat right now....if he is still blaming the team for strategy....

    Hamilton should learn how to drive more smoothly....Button was faster and used only one set of tyres...

    I heard that, but it was more of a general remark...

    a thorough analysis of the tyrewear used by Hamilton and Button could provide some answers...

    a great race to be sure. more than made up for the procession that was bahrain. but what have we learned? i think there needs to be less control put over tires. with the interesting dynamic of whether to be gentle and preserve, or go hard and use up the tires, it made me think that maybe they need to give more flexibility when it comes to tire choice (2 or 3 stints of just softs, or1-2 of hard).

    but who would have thought that button would get a win before hammy?

    Hamilton's not one to throw the team under the bus but he seemed pretty ticked at the end of the race there, maybe he's jealous Button won before he did this season.

    Hamilton is basically being a baby. Getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar spinning his tires, pouting, insulting Webber, qualifying badly, making mistakes, having bad luck, pouting, getting angry at the team etc...
    Usually I don't mind him, but he's not been maintaining himself well this week.
