Excessive amount of adverts today

Hell.. after this race Donington looks like a good idea. Without a doubt one of the most boring wet races I've ever seen.

Although I am a ferrari fan

champisonship looks nice now.

1.Hamilton 48 points
2.Massa 48
3.Raikkonen 48
4.Kubica 46

and 6th fastest lap for Kimi in a row.

Stunning drives by the top 3, but especially Lewis. Watch the media kiss his ass now after the last couple of dodgy races!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hamilton did well today yes but thanks to Ferrari it looked so easy, without the stupid tyre choice Kimi would have challenged Lewis today.

excellent race, and phenomanal drive by lewis!

excellent drive by rubens as well, shame he lost a certain 2nd with the pit problems

and massa just proved how @#$%& he his, i hope for his sake he had some sort of mechanical problem

Great drive by Lewis no doubt he drove very well but his day was made too easy by Ferrari cocking up their strategy whenever it rains yet again.
Man of the race for me was Rubens but the top three were all great drives.
Nice to see three drivers with the same points, haven't seen that for a while.

don't know what tactic Alonso's and Kimi's team were trying to pull off. It was too much of a risk to stay on thesame tyres and they payed a heavy price for it.

Lewis really did it for this race. Well deserved win.

Massa... well... you know...it's just too bad to really talk about it.

nice to see a jolly Rubens on the podium again

Great race! Great drive from whole top3, even tires were in main role.. Just wondering how different results would have been if BMW would have listened Nick and choosen rain tyres, or if Kimi would have changed tyres already in first place..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

eugh i'm sick of james allen and his crap


Andrew. Australia.

Great race today great drive by Lewis and the top 3. Kimi was still spinning on new inters so I dont think he would have challenged for the win. At times lewis was 4 secs a lap faster than the guys on the same tyres.

Massa god knows what was up there and Kovy had a bad race. So much for Lewis being lighter than Kimi and Kovy.

Kovy needs to work on his passing of people he spends to long thinking about the move, the same happened in Canada.

But yet again another great GB gp on a track that allows over taking.

Great race, Rubens! I wish it had rained for a little bit longer, so he could finish 2nd (and maybe have a go at Hamilton ).

(I wonder how Bruno will manage to bash him and praise Piquet.)

LOL at:

-The rabbit rounding the circuit faster than Massa.
-Honda and Barrichello, whiping the ass of the whole field (except Hamilton) with a car not even able to compete in the GP2 under normal circumstances.
-The honda engineers crashing into the parc fermé (which wasn't fermé anymore after).
-The race.
-The championshipstandings.

FAIL for:
-Massa, being slower than a rabbit.
-Mark Webber, if he only even smells a podiumchance he immediately does everything to eliminate himself.
-Massa, for not being able to drive at least a hundred meters in a straight line
-Kovalainen, for not getting on the podium (however not entirely his fault).
-The director, for missing trulli overtaking nakajima.
-Glock, for imitating Massa, but did too well and crash
-Ferrari, for having the slowest cars on track at a certain point.
-Massa, driving one of the slowest cars on track and still not being able to be faster like a rabbit or drive it in a straight line.
-Heidfeld, for looking like a crossing between Jenson Button and Chewbacca on the podium.

A special comment for Piquet; Going of when racing in 4th position should be considered as FAIL, but hey, the guy just did what he always does.

And last and least: EPIC FAIL for ferrari, just because they don't get things right if it is not going as planned this season.

Indeed it does and i'm loving it now. Whatever problem Massa had, it really doesn't matter as he and kimi are still the top three. A great race in hockenheim and its back on track :D

Oh yeah, that is definitely going to be annoying for these two weeks. I'm not even going to bother reading the Metro 2morrow seeing as it will just say how Lewis won a wet british race-sennaesque blah blah blah. Hope he effs in Hockenhiem then it'll be a very different story haha!

Yep a phenomenal drive by lewis, glad to see he kept it on the road. What a shame for Rubens though, everytime something is going good for Honda they manage to have a Nick Fry moment. Still 3rd isn't so bad for him. Reminds me of the Monaco race last year when everyone except the top three got lapped. From the interview at the end, Felipe said he just kept on Aquaplaning and had no grip as he kept his worn down inters in the first stint. Very bad technical decisions from Ferrari.

Yeah me too, hope he saw that Banner that Dan was going to put up . Another good thing is that he didn't go into a big frenzy like the time Jenson won the Hungarian GP

That summed it up for me. Driver of the day was the 2 rabbits / hares playing chicken at 150 mph!
