Wow...! Hamilton won! What a race.....a LOT of action.

What a crash he had Kubica, good to hear he "only" broke a leg from that crash.

The sight of the day though must have been Massa doing "thumbs down" from the pit garage after recieving the black flag! Learn the rules and pay attention dumbass!

Massa and Fisico should have known better since the red light is NOT new and Montoya was victim of it here last season (I think) but I don't remember what kind of penalty he got (stop-go I think but really unsure).

I'm sure Alonso will be hearing about this one for a VERY long time...

The pit close and open as soon as drivers are regroup, is to avoid any kind of race like in champcar, and create situation were some get lucky and take a too big advantage of if they are close to pit when it hapend. This can bring a driver from back to front if they dont do this, im in favor of this. They even regroup lap driver in back field now, better improvement. You notice a car stop at 'red' out of pit waiting to pit exit to open? yeah, they all know about it.

Whats the difference, the situation stays the same that some have bad luck or good luck. You saw it today, some pitted just before the SC, others not and they where screwed you saw it with youre own eyes. I think its complete senseles rule, because the outcome stays the same, some have bad luck some have good luck with it

About regrouping thats at least one good point they took over from champcar.

Anyway i enjoyed the race but again it proves that something has to happen to make the race entertaining.

About Hamilton, well what to say a true talent. If its for me we saw today the 2007 champion winning his first race.

Some news I just read on Kubica: He only has a light cranial trauma (concussion) and a sprained ankle.

In the next days he will undergo a medical evaluation by the FIA medic to EVALUATE IF HE CAN RACE AT INDIANAPOLIS!!!

One day, people think he's dead and the week after he could be racing. I'll never cease to be amazed!

yeah guys i understand the rules but as DP says, it doesnt eliminate the luck factor and still feels silly. and having cars racing full speed to catch up the field during a SC...which is deployed for a reason - to stop cars going fast, is also beyond me. and as we saw with trulli, pushing with cold tyres can difficult.

also gotta love trulli this race, everyone who tried to overtake him more or less ended up in tears. sweet

They refuse to let race Kubica at USA GP. Will Vetel bump Kubica like Kubica bumbped Villeneuve when Villeneuve had his crash and was out cause doctor said no?
