Sauber-Ferrari. Excellent result. Ferrari got an unexpected victory, but a team with lots of resources shouldn't be relying on bad weather for race victories. Special mention for HRT!

Ferrari - called the shots for Alonso absolutely right, driver never gave up and they made the most of the opportunity.

Sauber great job but the mistake on being one lap too conservative on the switch to dry tyres j-u-s-t edges Ferrari ahead of them in my view.

I'm having my doubts about Sauber, because I feel they made a blunder. I'll re-watch the race and decide, I think.

I can't give it to Sauber for that "Checo, we need this position" call. It may have ruined Checo's flow.

Another close call. I just gave it to Sauber, for putting the medium compound tyre on Peréz's car. Otherwise it would have been Ferrari for switching to slicks a lap before the Sauber team.

Would have been Sauber from me until that radio call. And if they brought in Perez a lap earlier...

Ferrari gave a text book lesson in winning with a poor car. That seperates the great teams from the good ones.

Yea, I'm voting Sauber but I'm quite disappointed they made him pit 1 lap later... He might have won otherwise, who knows. Losing so much time in the pits probably put him in a rush, which might have led into that mistake later on.

deeks6 User has been fined for unsportsmanlike behaviour!
No doubt Ferrari ... crap car but great driver and great strategy and great intimidation of customer.
Red Bull probably cost Webber the race with poor strategy and eagerness to help Seb who was struggling.
McLaren drivers cost themselves the race.

Why are people voting for HRT?
Turn up, just about scrape inside the 107% and finish last adn 2 laps off the pace. Hardly team of the weekend, unless you set your targets very very low.

I'm pleased to see them make the race finish, but team of the week?

Maybe for starting the race on full wets? That was a fantastic strategic move. Narain was 10th when the race was stopped, remember.

Shame that no serious team tried that(no, Perez' lap 1 pit doesn't count) because it would've been a free pass to the lead.

Ferrari acted the part of a top team. calm, controlled, super fast pit stops (aside from the Massa one), amazing in and out laps from Alonso to get into a position to take the lead, and generally keeping their heads in changing conditions.

Sauber were good but i suspect when they examine the data they will be pretty mad at themselves. their final two pits stops were poorly timed and with the pace they had and what i can only guess was a already a forgone conclusion to run the harder compound for the final stint they should have undercut Alonso's stop.

i can understand not wanting to risk all and battle Alonso on track but they could have won this race from the pits.

forget the conspiracy theories...this is just an example of a small team not being able to handle the challenge of being on the sharp end of the grid imo.

It also seemed to me that the Sauber, on hard tyres, had a faster car than McLaren and Ferrari had.

We should also take note of the fact that we haven't yet really got a good idea of who is actually fast and who is not. And this three week gap to the next race, might see some big changes to the cars.
