Best race in a long time!!

Tracks should always be wet! Makes it such a more exciting race.

Great result for Button and great race!!!

I thought De La Rosa did really well too - pulled off some great moves, and was gaining on Kimi before he crashed.

The very reason that made me watch it, glad i did, lots of nice moves from many drivers lots of over taking round the outside

Schumy is still a **** taker, should have moved over for Pedro but decided not too, or should I say left a gap for him and then prompty slammed the door in his face.....

Schuey should be penalised for a blatant disregard of rules. He gained advantage and did not give way - for the second time in the same weekend.

One of the best F1 races for a long time. I thought Jenson drove at his best, he had the tyre advantage in the wet and his smooth driving style allowed him to take full advantage.I am delighted for him and his first GP win. De La Rosa is a very good driver and he certainly proved that today.

I also think that Kubrica did outstandingly well for his first F1 race and he will be a star for the future.

Well done Button The first of many now you've broke your duck


I've said for ages that they should have a sprinkler system around the tracks. A decision should be made before each race when they will be turned on and for how long. Give each team boss a copy of the times in a secure envelope in case of race fixing disputes, and if it is returned opened after the race they would be disqualified.

I've thought the same thing myself for years. Its not coincidence that the most exciting races always involve rain is it!

been waiting for this for years! i've been getting very bored of watching schumacher/alonso win although i did feel for alonso this afternoon. if only montoya had been as impressive earlier in the season as de la rosa was today, apart from the spin of course)
well done jb!

Schuey should be penalised for being an arrogant ****, who thinks he is above the rules.

I'm convinced the incident where he lost his rear wing with Fisichella (how inconsistent is he, by the way??) was a blatant attempt to tip Fisi into a spin that went wrong.

He may be a star behind the wheel, but he is also a cheating *******.

Anyway, Well done Button, cracking drive and not forgetting Coulthard's 5th place either

Interesting that winning by 40 seconds is considered a great race in F1.
