I thought that it was OK.

The Hulk had a fantastic drive, the drive of the day alongside the Lotuses.

There was some fantastic racing down the order and a lot of it had nothing to do with DRS - a clue to what might be needed for the future?

It was a shame that Hamilton said that he and Nando were better than to be fighting for fifth place. You were fighting for fifth because that is where you deserved to be. Had Ham not cooked his tyres by constantly trying to over take the Hulk, lap after lap, he might have had better tyres towards the end.

Ah well, the old Lewis is still in there somewhere. As you can imagine I was thrilled, thrilled, thrilled for my Sauber boys, especially Nico. I hope he stays at Sauber. It makes me sad that they are preparing a drive for the Russian rookie due to money, Sauber were never like that once upon a time. That said they only have Esteban because his management paid them to release Perez.

But blimey how a team can turn, i.e. Lotus, no love lost there for Kimi is there? Mind you I was screaming for Romain to overtake him. I would love to see Romain at Sauber. I can't take to Lotus, I still feel it has Briatore's DNA running through it

Poor old Mark a puncture then clattered by Sutil.

I feel sorry for Mark.

I honestly do think that Red Bull give him exactly the same equipment as Seb, but maybe his engineers and pit crew do not work quite the same way, they are human after all.

As far as luck goes he only gets one type - bad. Had he not been behind Perez and got a puncture in his brand new tyres he would have been third on the road with no more stops to make. That would have put him in a different place at the restart and well away from Sutil. You couldn't make that combination of events up.

Kimi is claiming that Lotus haven't paid him what they owe him. Lotus are saying little on the subject.
I read somewhere that the long points scoring run that Raikkonen has had triggered a performance related clause which in now costing Lotus an arm and a leg (or would be, if they were paying it, obvs!).
btw - another good drive from Grosjean. Last year's pile ups seem a long time ago now.
