Yeah, it was a really great race for the spectators and some driver. A race which was for the first half wet and a street circuit results such a exciting race!

Some things I want to comment:
The way Alonso, Coulthard and Bourdais hit the wall in Massenet is a bit mystic to me. Was there a kind of aquaplaning? From the cam's angle I think I've seen that the cars "sit" on the track - a bump or something.

WTH made Räikkönen there? He has the fastest car under normal conditions. So what rode him that be didn't smashed the break and get his car slower??? I expect that the wheel stand if a driver trys to stabilize the car. But what did he did? He just alter his steering wheel jerkyly :-# A real pity for Sutil. He had at first the brightest but at least the darkest luck ever.

Thanks to the rain we had a nice race again, I really enjoyed it today =D>

Webber confirms aquaplanning at casino in the selected driver quotes on the official site.

For me it`s that:

McLaren:
Did a great race, but Kovalainen was once more pretty unlucky. I`m sure he can be closer to Hamilton as today. Hamilton made a good race with good tactics and a driving error at the right time :roll: He stayed in the race and the changed tactics lead him to a well deserved victory. Well done!

Ferrari:
Not a good race from both drivers. They made mistakes and where simply not competitive. Raikkonen`s performance was a disaster...

BMW:
Kubica stayed errorless and the 2nd place is really good. It seems that he is constantly faster than Heidfeld at the moment, but I believe Heidfeld will strike back. With a heavily damaged car there was nothing more possible as gaining additional data for the future.

Red Bull:
Day and night. Webber scored a lucky and great 4th place while DC ended once more the race in trouble. Webber made no mistakes and this place is the right payment for his constancy during that conditions. DC had many bad luck that year (collisions without his fault) but there would have been much more possible for him. Really a pity, I like DC and this could be his last season

Torro Rosso:
Again day and night. Vettel made no mistakes, was fast and scored very vital points for the team. I think he`ll replace DC next year. Bourdais was a victim of the conditions early, so he didn`t show much here.

Honda:
Seems like the Brawn-Factor worked once more and Barrichello was another driver who got his points for an errorless ride. I think the team will be really happy with the result allthough Button had pretty hard luck and a damaged car in the end.

Williams:
Rosberg had a real hard race and must be truly disapointed. I think he expected much more from the race and threw it away in the first lap. Really a pity, I think he could have been on the podium. Nakajima keeps surprising me, still beeing much slower than Nico he manages to score all points other teams loose due errors and bad luck. His points might be real precious for Williams at the end.

Toyota:
Glock spun some times and Trulli was on the wrong tires at the wrong time. So they both had no chance for a good result.

Renault:
Alonso made 2 big mistakes and so his race was over far too early. A pity, Alonso vs. Hamilton again for a few laps would have been great :mrgreen: Well, about Piquet....such a race doesn`t help him in strengthen his position in the team

Force India:
That team could have been the great surprise here! Allthough both drivers where at the back of the grid, but they managed to get through the first corner :wink: Unfortunately Fisichella lost the first 2 gears pretty early (his laptimes where still qutie good) and so he couldn`t show his talent. Sutil did a real great job and would have really deserved a fourth or fifth place. Sometimes you have bad luck (I would not have expected such a mistake from Kimi though) but in such races you must get such good points. Really a shame, but Vettel had similar bad luck last year and scored the points next race. Under normal circumstances Sutil can`t make it, but maybe there are similar conditions [-o<
