I haven't watched the race yet...I scrolled down to miss spoilers.
I just finished watching Qualy, and some of the practices though.
I have to say, there are not many things in the world that I like more than watching an F1 car drive in the rain. Its just magic.

Congratulations to Mark Webber, and RB Racing for a fantastic win Fernando was winning; however, it appears his tires wouldn't hold up and Webber over took him within the last couple of laps. I don't like the new F1 rules which has the post race interviews from the podium. It seemed more private the other way Next stop, Germany

Wow, nice drive from Webber indeed.
Alsonso, and really the top 6 guys all drive real well.
With ol' ailing Phil Massa finishing where he did and both Ferraris looking real solid, I think it's safe to say Ferrari is right up there with Red Bull.

Masa's drive was the highlight of the race. We are half way through. I hope the WDC will be settled in Austin.

Would it be acceptable to gloat just a little bit? He mightn't be the best driver ever or even currently, but he's a lot better than people in here give him credit for. Well done Webber!!

Great qualifying and great race. I really thought Alonso would win it with the soft tire option and light fuel, but it appears the prime tire was the one to be on even on light fuel.
The passing on track was unreal!!!
Grojean was on fire!
Maldonado should be parked and Kobayashi doesn't mind hitting others on track including his own crew. WHAT WAS THAT??? And it wasn't even wet.
Finally, I really don't think that the pace shown today by all the teams is indicative of what is actually true. I guarantee that every team ran a wet setup based on th forcasts and what they experienced Friday and Saturday. What you saw today is what a wet set up looks like on dry tires. Did you see how lightly sprung the cars were? Bouncing and leaning through the corners.
Finally, I loved the new SPEED post race show. Loved the inpromptu pit lane interview with Adrian Newey!

Maldonado needs a vacation to reflect upon his idiotic driving. Or he needs to sign with NASCAR
I too love the post race show. This will do a lot to bring in new fans.

Congrats to Webber. He is looking very strong and if the Red Bull is as fast as it appears to be, then it should be a great 2nd half of a season. Both he and Alonso are pulling away from everyone else.

As a fan of Red Bull Racing all I can say is great race Mark Webber!!!
It looked like it was Alonso's race until the 3rd stint, but Webber's race strategy proved to be better today and of course it was also one hell of a *****'y pass Mark made against the Spaniard. Red Bull and Ferrari both have good cars and it should be a good battle between Alonso, Webber and Vettel as the year progresses. What the heck has happened to McLaren? They looked so strong at the beginning of the year. Mercedes struggled in this race and yet Schumi passed Hamilton with ease in the final stint.
Next up, Germany.

Gotta give it to Webber. Great race, the passing this year and general race pace etc is best in YEARS- interesting pre-race interviews with Surtees and Nige, Will is SO hyper!!! His enthusiam is something!!
Don't really like the podium interviews instead of the press conference, even if Sir Jackie is doing it.
What a season!!!
