Webber was on for 3rd with the pace he had

But he had a fantastic race and made it much more enjoyable as he traded blows with Alonso & Hamilton. Passing the two of them, rain experts, will do wonders for his confidence.

...China next isn't it? We've had a decent bit of rain there in recent years.

Yep, They defo need to change this race time start next year

can someone tell me what was the main reason of nico falling from 1st to 7th?

was it his pit stops which took up more time than the others?

What a huge dissapointment, all thanks to Bernie as I have already said. We were having a good race with plenty of passing and cars following closely before the rain came down. It then messed up Nico's and a lot of people's race as he was driving brilliantly and on course for a certain 2nd place!

Let's hope for a more sane race in Bahrain without any thunderstorm, darkness mayhem from Bernie pissing about with different race start times!

...China next isn't it? We've had a decent bit of rain there in recent years.

Today was a bit of an anticlimax in the end.

Damn, I forgot China is early this year... well that's not good, Shanghai is a crap circuit but the new cars will probably make this race good as long as the rain doesn't show up.

The cause of Nico's drop through the field was solely the rain and the lottery it caused, once again Williams have been robbed by Bernie.

Bernie is out of his mind, this thing really backfired on him.

In other news...

TWO IN A ROW!

Must have been or he was on the wrong tyres because Button was way ahead of him Nico has he exited the pits and all he put in was 2 more laps

Lol, Rosberg doesn't even know himself...

I think thats it. He came in for his first stop and put on slicks then came in for inters shortly after?

what a race lol haha i loved jenson's face when he was sitting in the car when the told him he won hes was like wat lol nico , glock and jenson wow 3 amazing drives still cant belive the FiA and Charlie waited near enoff an hour.......i really do think the FiA are a load of monkeys but well done jenson !

Well, I said it was going to happen and it happened. If that race had been started an hour earlier, it would have run its full length and the closing laps would have been affected by the rain, creating some excitement like at Belgium last season. This has proved just how stupid Bernie's ideas are. Congratulations to Jenson on another victory, and indeed congratulations to the few guys who didn't end up leaving the track when it was pouring down.

Also, Nico's pace does show that Williams have built a good car this year and it is unfortunate that their current points do not represent their true position. Trulli also showed just how good the Toyota can be. And Glock, well...I feel sorry for him. Had the rain held off, we could have been looking at Toyota's first win.

Whatever racing we did see today was very entertaining. It's no surprise that Brawn won another Grand Prix. Button is a solid performer and the car is great. The only time the Brawn is under threat is when another car with KERS is following it; but if it can hold off the other car, then it will drive off into the distance. Heidfeld drove another good race. In odd situations, his smooth style and racing savvy really pays off. He's handy to have about the place. I don't know what Ferrari were thinking of putting wets on Raikkonen's car. The track was bone dry and their pace was so bad they actually cost themselves much more. Desperado stuff. Since Brawn left, Ferrari's strategy department has made numerous gaffes.

And final word has to go to Ecclestone: slap it up ye!

[Robert182]

i was wetting myself when kimi was swaning about the back of the garage in she shorts with ice cream and a can of coke and that luca guy (think he name was luca no disprespect to anyone i just cant remember his name) was saying he's deadacated to the end of the race .........he isnt a very good comunications director with the press of the drivers lol and rob smedley(legend btw) "chill man chill , were in a good position"

[Rivelution]

What even happened with him?

He lost the car in a corner on the first lap. I dont know if it was from the McLarens lack of aero, or just the fact he was way off line.
