    That was another great race, loads of action thats what we like to see... just need to wait and see now where the next race is going to be, coz if they can't get outta China soon then the next race in 3 weeks time might be in China again!!

    All the good races this year have been rain affected in some way or another, be it qualifying or in the race. In Europe, they will mainly have dry race weekends, so it could be a long slow summer.

    In saying that, good racing so far in all the races. Button has really impressed this year so far, though Lewis and Alonso have proved they are quality drivers.

    Yes, great race and very enjoyable. Button with the correct tyre decision and Hamilton with the wrong one - again! Hamilton was also very lucky with the Safety Car deployments otherwise he would have been well down the order.

    The secret to an exciting race definitely seems to be: dry start, rain at least once, the odd crash requiring the safety car and then all the tyres going off for the last 10 laps .

    Got up early to watch this and was glad I did what a brilliant race and we get a Brittish 1st and 2nd too.

    I think we should start a facebook petition to get sprinklers fitted at all GP circuits, for use at an unspecified moment during the race. Sod the weather radar ;-)

    That would be AWSOME! But as with most things in F1 their would be regulations on the type of sprinkler used, and the amount of water used, and when Ferrari can cheat and use it their advantage blah blah blah
