A great race, even without rain.
It was fantastic when we had Vettel and Massa coming out of the pits, in the middle of Hamilton/Webber Alonso all battling and sweeping around turn 1.
That first corner really is great for overtaking, lots of room for drivers to either come up the inside (and consequently go deep) versus drivers taking a wider line and coming up in optimum line for turn 2.
Looks like McLaren were the first to spot the primes being worth going onto, although given that why didn't Redbull put Vettel on? Although his and Massa's options were fresher than the front three's.
Nice to see Massa coming back so strong, he made the best start compared to those around him, but got squeezed out onto the outside of Vettel who himself was outside of Alonso letting Rosberg through.
Not sure about Alonso running out of fuel, I think that was only for qualifying(the rule forbidding it)? As they didn't want drivers stopping and ruining any drivers behind still on fast laps.
No need for the DRS is there? The drivers appear to be able to gain extra grip now, I don't think the DRS is allowing passes to be made that wouldn't have happened, all it's doing is making passes that would happen anyway easier.
Ferrari's struggled with the colder temperatures, applied to both Massa and Alonso when coming out on newer tyres, their outlaps were tentative.
Solid work from Kobayashi, and clean from Sutil seeing them both in the points.
Poor luck for Jenson, too retirements in a row.
Poor race from Vettel though, lots of small mistakes.
