I would first like to say all those who said there is no overtaking in F1 should take another look at the race.
May be DRS or KERS or tyre wear but there were some brilliant overtakes like Webber(without KERS) on Massa.
And I think Pirelli are doing really great not to thing like what Bridgestone did like softs could last entire race. Current tires are very good I think.
Also I'll like to say Congratulations to Vettel on winning and Button having a good sensible race finishing 2nd.
And what about Heidfeld, where are all the people who thought Heidfelds career was over. Where are they now. He had great start, then overtook a compromised Hamilton, did not do a mistake and got a podium.
Good race by Saubers who are proving that they can save tires. Kobayashi only driver on 2 stopper.
Also good race by Di Riesta to get another point. And he seems to be doing much better than Sutil so early in season. All credits to Paul.
About Mercedes, I think, they were very bad, bad car, bad strategy. They kept out Schumacher out for couple of extra laps when he was clearly losing time, sometimes almost 3-4s a lap. In 6 extra laps he did before his 3 stops, he lost around 10-15s. And cost him place to Kobayashi.
And about Hamilton- Alonso incident. It was just racing incident.
And good to see that Massa finish ahead of Alonso, no team orders early on in season.
