Well done Hamilton!

[Paulos G]

Well that made things interesting!

Pretty much a flawless drive from Hamilton, and his last stint was amazing, one of the best drives you'll ever see.

[Darwock]

I couldn't give a monkeys about Hamilton but I was really over the moon to see Barrichello back on the podium.. it's about time!

[Richard.John]

Did JA die of orgasmic shock or something? I imagine the gushing would have been nauseating. Still, a good job from Hammy. Massa was embarrassing.

[Shez]

It makes me wonder about Massa - It's been said he is totally reliant on pit to radio information, and falters when they can't give him the info he needs to perform.

This can range from a multitude of things, not just track position, but also car set up (bias etc) - He was making the same mistake over and over and whatever the problem was, he struggled to drive around it.

Absolutely! Great drive by a great driver in an average-at-best car. I don't think i've seen a happier looking driver post-race all year and as always with Rubens, comments from his heart during the driver interviews.

As you all are, pleased for Rubens, was a top performance by Hamilton, what were Ferrari thinking of with Kimi though, not changing the tyres and then not bringing him in sooner were bad errors - ones Ross Brawn probably wouldn't have made.

Massa is a right n00b in the rain, really showed himself up badly. Again.

Such a close championship, every point counts from now in. Shame Kubica didn't get anything, would really like to see him pushing the others.

[Dazzyman]

Well done Rubeno. Hamilton noooooooo now he wont shut up about his talent again for months, cant fault his drive just keep gob shut please Massa seems to be the usual when hes out on his own he is great when he isnt he goes to bits.

I was on Copse for this one, best GP I've been to in a while. I vote trackside sprinklers be fitted at all circuits to makes every race as interesting as this one. Great to see Hamilton not just win but have to fight for it too. Even better to see Honda & RB getting some points.

[Roddie]

+1 for trackside sprinklers

[stormbreak]

Raikkonen is getting bad press after he shoved a photographer to the ground two minutes before the race.. The guy was crouching on his stuff, so he pushed him and obviously since he was crouching he fell on his backside.

[Malc]

+2 for trackside sprinklers!

-1 for Raikkonen!

[VR46]

Melandri has got the boot. Just a question of when he goes. Monday probably.

No surprises there, I always find it funny when Stoner's in first and his teammate's dead last, but is there anyone else who could ride that Ducati?
