I give it to Vettel for soaking up the pressure today. But he was fortunate that Webber had his pit stop woes because I think he would have given Vettel a real race today.
Kimi had a great race, as did Grosjean who just seemed to fall away in the final stint. The Frenchman showed us today that he has the talent to become a GP winner.
Drivers of the race was Kimi and Seb in that order. Kimi was thrilling to watch in the closing stages IMO. More races like this please :)
Hard for me to pick a driver of the race. Many, many good drives today, esentially all the points paying positions and then some.
But I'll nominate Lotus and Ferrari as teams of the race. Both for using differing strategies to make it a race at the front. I thought Lotus were brilliant in that they took the race to Red Bull at the end by making the best of the strategies of both drivers.
Some good drives throughout and given that he had a KERS issue I'll give drive of the race to Seb, Grosjean and Webber for managing to storm back to 7th after amateur hour hit the RBR crew.
All in all, this was a good race. I enjoyed the fight between Vettel and Lotus cars in the second half. I think the race might have been different without the safety car. Right before safety car, I thought a good battle was brewing between Vettel and Grosjean. Granted, Grosjean still managed to catch up with Vettel later on. It's nice to see Grosjean on the podium again.

But I have to say Grosjean, who didn't put a foot wrong, was quick and consistent despite the pressure he's been under and the reaming he has been given for his (numerous) errors, he deserves some praise for what was a very mature and impressive drive
There was one bit where Grosjean was getting close to the back of Vettel and would have made it into the DRS detection zone but missed out because he was 1.035 seconds behind... that's 0.035 of a second out.
At 300km/h it's a distance of 8.3cm. That's roughly the same length as a credit card.
I don't think that's quite right Rollo. Even a tenth of a second is a car length or two, and we're talking about a third of a tenth there. I get 2.9m, still well under a car length. 0.001s would be 8.3cm.Quote:
