Lewis wasn't on his flying lap, he was on his out lap approaching the chicane. The protest was rejected.

Lewis did do an excellent job to get P3, considering the lack of track time he's had and the apparent ear infection. Still, can't help but feel that the Championship is slipping away from him now and the last two races have had a pivotal effect.

Fantastic from Seb, strong here as usual. Great job from Mark to dig deep at the end and get so close to him as well. Awesome from Kubica again, he's just been on fire so far. Alonso could be a menace, and so even could Jenson later on.

Quality race in prospect :D

I think Jake has ran off to India with the iPad as lee is using a clipboard!

Just watched qualifying, got work at 9am though so gona feel tired later, will be worth it to actually watch a full race though

Meh, I'd personally prefer the clipboard anyway TBH :P

I do not know if people watching the bbc coverage but hearing lewis mention about not talking to anyone for three days reminds me of a story i heard of a villa football fan. When they lost to Birmingham he didnt speak to anyone for two weeks including his wife he was so annoyed

wow what a shunt for di grassi on the way to the grid

I think that Di Grassi's gonna be sent the bill for those parts...

Yes LOL

Kobayashi, man of the race... Lewis looked strong but I doubt he could've passed Alonso

Nice to see some pace from Michael.. Wonder why they didn't repeat his pass on Rubens considering the history those two have

Was alguersuari trying to spin Kobayashi??

Wow... I'm still awake despite not having slept in over 24 hours. Fun race many lols :P Kobayashi!

Awesome race!

I think Alguersuari was a bit impetuous. Kobayashi steamed past him early on down the inside, and I think that Jaime decided to push him into the gravel when Kamui went round the outside, perhaps expecting him to yield. He didn't, and Kobayashi was lucky that Alguersuari didn't spear him off.

Quality race altogether, Red Bull were very dominant. Rosberg had rotten luck, and Schumacher didn't do a bad job.

On a side note, who's interviewing in the press conference?

God Bless Kobayashi! Man of the race! Alguersuari should get some kind of warning or penalty for the second hit on Kobayashi, the second touch when they accelerate out of the hairpain is a deliberate move from Jaime...

Awesome race thoe! =)

nice race and great kobayashi

My GPGSL Career

Kobayashi! :D

I think Jaime just got on the throttle too soon given Kamui's position. Luckily no harm done!

Great race! The start accident was all Petrov's fault unfortunately, but I think Massa made more of a dog's breakfast entirely and I'm a little confused as to why there was a penalty for Petrov and not Massa?

Anyway, great job from Red Bull, shame Webber never caught Vettel. Kobayashi and Kubica in the last two races have shown that there is no overtaking problem in Formula One, just that most drivers seem to be pussies and won't risk anything. So we need more drivers like them.

Unlucky for Rosberg, did anyone else think Michael had pushed him off at first??

God I love Suzuka.
