Vettel is an extremely talented driver. But in motorsports you win and lose as a team. It's not about just the driver. It's about the total package. Good car, good driver, good team behind the car and driver and a lot of good luck.

Button was shot out of a cannon. I think RedBull might go ahead and work on its KERS for the next race.

Best race of the season. Who says there's no passing in F1?
Who knew that short life Italian tires were the answer to more action? I guess they won't have to install sprinklers on the courses after all.

Seemed like McLaren tuned their cars for the hard tires instead of outright speed on the softs and it showed at the end. I yelled at the TV when Lewis was closing in on Rosberg running 1:41's still and they pitted for the hard tires, but they were prepared for it this time. Poor Webber is not getting any help from Red Bull. The guy is driving his behind off.
Impressive group of young guys this year. Great racing! These tires are really going to test the engineers over the course of the season.

BTW Lewis passed 4 of the top 6 cars with 4 of the top 6 drivers in them on his way to winning the race.
But I'm sure Pete will get mad because Senna and Hamilton were mentioned in the same sentence again during the broadcast...........

Great race! Without a shade of bias, Webber's drive was the best of the season so far. Pity there wasn't one or two more laps to overtake Vettel. Now that would have been legendary!!
Nice to see another team win also. Makes the season much more exciting.

Absolutely awesome drive from Webber. It was amazing watching the gaps between him and the cars in front closing so quickly lap after lap. To come from 18th to 3rd, with most of the gains in the last half of the race was extraordinary.

Great race, the three stopper of Hamilton was superior to Vettel's two stopper strategy. However I am going to have to disagree with Martin Brundle and David Coulthard who said the drive of the day belonged to Hamilton. Mark Webber was the drive of the day. Oh and Red Bull really needs to sort out their KERS problems.

Webber started 18th and fell to 20th on lap 11 when pitted for tyres......he then passed everyone except 2 to finish 3rd......what a race for him!!!
Button got the hole shot but couldnt hang on and Hammy overcame his pre grid issues to come storming to the race.
Superb racing, excellent race.

Webber may be the best driver in F1 right now. Two races in a row he has put in incredible drives.
Vettal is great but he has not had to fight his way through the pack like Webber
