On Track:
Button and Barrichello are driving the car of the field. How easily they outmuscled Alonso's KERS equipped Renault shows that the advantages of the KERS system is still not outweighing the disadvantages.
I realise the likes of Alonso was heavy, but he just couldn't fight back, nor slow down. The Renault is totally ill-equipped, and I fear it is going to be a very very poor season. (Granted the start by Alonso and Raikkonen - KERS only real clear advantage - but Rosberg was hardly shabby)
Heidfeld used his experienced head to stay out there in such terrible conditions, well done to Glock and Toyota for their tyre gamble.
Infact there was a good number of stars today - Rosberg, Webber, Glock, Heidfeld and Barrichello all have to be given credit to adding to the show and scoring some good "half" points.
But Kudos to Jenson, the Brawn team faced so many unknowns going into today's race, but they handled themselves very professionally and excelled. If they are allowed to keep their Diffuser system they will be fighting at the front for sometime yet and by the time the other teams catch up it may be too little too late.
The race start time was totally unjustified and spoiled the race from my point of view. However lessons have been learned and we will surely not see next years race start in the evening again.
