Looks as if the safety car is going to win the Grand Prix.

Fantastic race, sad to see Schumi not make it onto the podium though.

Great to see not Vettel winning.

Well that was worth the wait.

Should have been a 1-2 for McLaren, Hamilton is just a bit too eager at times.

I agree actually, to see Schumi make the podium would have been quite something.

Hats off to Button. Pressurised the newbie (!) and showed his class. Not over yet of course..."investigation" re: his fun with Alonso earlier in the race. Well as I was advised by our various tame racing drivers after Monaco, the driver under pressure should have given room if there is any kind of overlap, so we'll see eh...

Go on button you good thing! If he's get punished it would be a disgrace.

Was hoping schumi would make it to taste the champers.

I hope for the pussy cat doll Lewis isn't that impatient in the sack :damnfunny

Shame for Di Resta as well, inexperience cost him some decent points today.

What an amazing last 20 laps, for sure Jenson's best victory. Last to first, just amazing. Was sorry to see Schumi not making it to the podium.

Indeed I've not enjoyed a race that much in I don't know how long. Admittedly during the interval the kids were bathed and put to bed which gave me time to sort out drinks and crisps for the second half of the race before it started :thumbsup
