What a cracking race. Anybody who thought Vettel can't overtake or Schumacher should give up just needs to keep replaying this one till the penny drops. I put Vettel's move on Alonso alongside Webber's move on Alonso into Eau Rouge for the sheer awe factor.
Fantastic performance by MS. Pushed it at times with the defensive driving, but it's in the guy's nature and none of the moves he made were exactly Hungary 2010 replays. He seems to have calmed down his defensive driving, there wasn't the element of desperation to it today that there has been in the past. Also his race pace was very strong yet again. He's now, IMO anyway, got himself up to a strong enough level of performance that he'd be a real menace to the RedBulls if only his car was on the pace.
Another great strong drive from Jenson. My joint favourite moment of the race was probably when he overtook Lewis and then MS in quick succession.
Another difficult race for Lewis, but I was impressed by his mature reaction to MS, both on the track and in his interview afterwards.
Webber: ...
Good drive by Alonso, did a brilliant job at the start and then did the best he could with the car he had.
A strong drive by Senna too, and what he needed to do after Spa. Getting past Buemi was what helped make the difference between a decent drive and a good one IMO. Hopefully he's done enough to secure himself the drive for the rest of the season at least. Good to see him score his first points as well.
Also good to see Ricciardo's promising start continuing. Outqualifying Liuzzi here must have been a sweet moment for him as well as a significant one.

Ah, coolio. I'd forgotten about that! My bad then.
