He drove a great race.. a great weekend, and this thread is not just about the race, it says Grand Prix, so you should take the FP and Q into account as well, he scored pole, a brilliant result. A shame you (shämito) rate on 1 lap, on 1 result, without looking at his performance over the whole weekend...

I think results matters and even Kovalainen scored more points than him

While it's true that a race can't be won on the strength of one corner, and that a race can be lost on one corner, I think Joost is fundamentally correct in saying you have to consider the whole weekend. One error can cap the weekend, but Hamilton's weekend up until that point was very good (arguably he had the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th> best car, so quantify his performance by whichever you think is correct) and I agree that since Hamilton has nothing to lose as he's not a title challenger, the mistake can be forgiven in light of the rest of the weekend, and doesn't necessarily make him the worst racer of the day.

(This is just my opinion. Not trying to change anyone's opinions. )

9 - General Comment: It was an exciting race, until the second pitstops there was a lot of confusion who would win the race. I was hoping for Kimi, but great for Rubens of his former home-grandprix for Ferrari. It was great that Hamilton crashed, so Kimi stood on the podium.
