    they did very well, spot on with the tactics, and took advantage of some suspect Mclaren strategies. good job done
    If England ever perform at a World Cup, make sure you wake me up :p:

    I thought it was daft that LH didn't want to get past DC when he had to lap him, poor DC, i bet he was a bit anxious

    If you are referring to the time towards the end of the race, although the guy he was supposed to lap was not mentioned, live timing's guys made the comment that nobody could possibly threaten lewis at that time, so he was just coasting towards his third place finish.

    That's what Ron Dennis said after the race:
    "Lewis didn't make a good start. He was able to hang on; there was no problem with pace, but it was going to be impossible to overtake. We then started to evaluate everything that could go wrong, or everything that was likely to cause us to lose third place, and then we switched him to a strategy to guarantee third place, and that was really what that was all about."

    However, this lack of a kamikaze effort against the red cars does not detract from a wonderful performance from this rookie to record another podium. I'd love to see this fellow win the championship.

    Well done to Kimi, Massa and Ferrari. Hopefully they can mount a serious challenge for the title now
