He lost a lot of running time in P3 this morning, after a fairly catastrophic electronic and KERS problem, and made a mistake in Q1 by not going onto the soft tyre like everyone else had. On top of that his lap just wasn't that good.

Has someone been sprinkling those Torro Rosso's in special speed enhancing fairy dust?! Incredible performance.

The Toro Rosso's always looked competitive this year. Like Lotus, they've taken a few risks with their design and that double floor is probably worth almost as much as McLaren's 'L'-sidepods. The difference is that Algersuari's still got a lot to learn and Buemi is rubbish...

I totally expect them to start heading backwards during the race .... due to that fact.

Well done Hamilton

Great race, best one so far!!

Glad to see Hamilton on the top step, instead of another Red Bull. Vettel is a great talent, but always great to see a Brit win!!

Was a shame Button couldnt hold on to 3rd, but a stirling race from Webber!! 18th to 3rd very impressive!!

Come on McLaren!!!

Possible the best F1 race in a long time. Definitely not much "follow the leader!" Webber was definitely driver of the day for that one!

congratulations to Hamilton for a good and clean race. Webber man of the race (as said above) and Vettel on the wrong strategy.
Great move from Button to surprise the guys in the RedBull box:cool:

This was a great race. Thanks to Pirelli for making it much better. Pleased that Hamilton won and at least it was a different winner other than Vettel.

I liked the quote on the fake Charlie Whiting Twitter: Wouldn't it be great if they'd just taken off his tyres and walked away?

It was a great race and a brilliant way to warm up the day for BTCC. :)

Dear Mr Ecclestone,

I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about this weekends so-called F1 race in China. It was an absolute disgrace! There was no way I could take my customary nap between lap 3 and the end of the race due to the constant on-track action. I hope you will be taking steps to prevent any further overtaking and excitement.

Yours sincerely

Group Captain Gently-Snoring (retired)
