Once it got going it was brilliant.  Good result and shows that Jenson Button can mix it up and get the to the front!

Yeah Button when he is on it is brilliant. Shame he can\'t drive like that most of the time.
I\'d have liked to see what Lewis could have done had he not had the coming together with Button.

Nice to see fingers not on the top step too.

Whats the betting Button get Fooked over by the stewards and gets a 20 sec penalty dropping him down the positions and giving Vettel the win.

Well certainly an eventful race on and off track! Gutted i turned off after Button came out at the back with his coming together with Alonso.

I do get the distinct feeling there is a little too much caution nowadays though, i have no idea why the race was started under a yellow and also, when re started it stayed under yellow for so long! I completely understand the safety aspect and also the problem of aqua planning due to the rubbing board height, but they all knew it would rain so surely they should raise the cars up a bit to compensate! I know completely different but even the commentators had tweets from fans saying the Moto Gp went ahead in the same conditions and they just had to get on with it and when they come off, their not in a nice safety cell!

So what do you guys think about Hamilton, too much and a risk as Lauda says or would we like to see more of the same? Whichever way, he isnt helping himself too much at the minute and taking a lot of heat. Very similar to Simoncelli in Moto Gp, having the finger pointed at him for "causing" accidents and now he is watched like a Hawk!

The guy isn\'t making it easy on himself but thats what he is there for. He is driving in the pinocle of motor sport. He got there by winning and passing people in the process. If they keep handing out penalties etc for attempted passes that don\'t come off no-one will overtake. It\'ll end up as a precession and a joke. The way things are going they will be limited to 70mph like my work van before long!

The gentle tang of aged gent who may have forgotten where the toilet is wafts from Nik\'s direction as this rant tails into the distance.

It only really bothered me cos then the missus had nothing to do but nag the living fduk out of me instead of sitting watching octogenarians blather on about wretched old tat lol :rollin. I was sat here at the poooter trying to ignore it all, like every evening I have the misfortune to be at home. Television, pfagh! It\'s not even a proper word, half Greek half Latin. No good will come of it :(
