    Max, what a drive!

    Mercedes handed Seb the win.

    Max was amazing today. His lines, his positioning... just wonderful.

    Vet was obligated to win with all the circumstances.

    Vettel simply seized the race with both hands today. There were a lot of good performances, but only one DOTR, and that's got to be Vettel.

    Seb - it must have been very sweet for him to lap the Red Bulls towards the end :P

    Kimi - great recovery, which also showed that Ferrari had genuine pace this week-end.

    Max - impressive drive from the teenager in his second GP.
    Oct. 31, 1999 - one of the blackest days in motorsports.

    Never thought this would happen, but I voted for Seb. Beat the Mercs on merit all class. Well done Ferrari for putting the right people in the right places and turning last years pile of crap into a decent car.

    To give credit where it is due, I think that Vettel would have won regardless. If you look at the times before the safety car, Lewis wasn't pulling away from Seb at all. In fact, Seb was actually closing in on him, so I don't think Mercedes handed Ferrari the win, I think Ferrari would have taken it anyway. It may have been a different story had Hamilton a better weekend in FP sessions, he might have had a better car balance but I think Ferrari have done an amazing job with this new car and I'm really excited to see what is going to happen over the coming races.

    Personally? I thought it was Grant Elliott, despite being in the losing side.

    Raikkonen lost downforce with puncture damage
    http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/196227.html

    to be +53.822s behind after about 3 minutes for the first lap and lack of downforce it may have been Ferrari 1 - 2
