    Yep, will be interesting to see the development of the protest about the Brawn cars.
    Some finish from Hamilton

    Brilliant Race!

    Brilliant Achievement from Brawn, Button & Rubens - that car is good!

    Lewis got lucky with what happened ahead of him - but hats off to him for his 2nd half race pace, his over taking maneuvers and for taking full advantage of those not finishing! And looks very likely he'll get promoted to 3rd

    As for Ferrari - HA

    Brilliant coverage by the BBC, great commentators and pundits, and the current extended Forum on Interactive is brilliant. DC, Eddie Jordan and Brundle really know there stuff!

    I'm a Brawn fan this year, time to let go from Ferrari, not overly keen since my all time fav, Schuey left and their wingin ways.

    Expected - harsh on Trulli as he had a brilliant race, but he broke the rules and can have no complaints!

    Vettel's punishment is a bit harsh though - that was a acing incident. Both were a stupid as each other!! Once again, complete inconsistency from the F1 stewards

    Just watched it all back as we'd taped it (we were at a wedding this weekend), great to have F1 one back. Very harsh on Vettel, don't think Kubica gave him as much room as the stewards claim. You feel he was punished for trying to finish rather than the accident. Still, what's F1 without stewards...

    Great drive from Button, his style will really help with those soft tyres.

    Coverage - Legard will get better, he did sound like he was doing a radio commentary though.

    Well, that is the best start to an F1 season for YEARS..

    the changes in the regs seemed to have given a much more even playing field and it's great to see some of the smaller teams getting up there in qualifying and the race

    I'm with you Gismo - Mon the Brawn Team. Button and Barichello did very well and I am amazed that a car with soo little track time was so reliable. Full marks to the engineers.
