I was a little sad that he took so long to get this win, and it didn't look likely if we see the lack of pace/reliability in the last part of the season.
But hats off to Jenson - he's joined an elite club with very few members and i hope this is the first of manyCongrats indeed - its just the thing he needs to get himself high again, and help him push for his next victory. 8)

Glad to see Jenson finally get that monkey off his back, I can't imagine how relieved he must be...
Absolute shitter that Schumi had some sort of failiure... Even if he'd taken fourth, it would've been something. Oh well, at least Alonso didn't increase the lead either.

Pff, Jenson really has to enjoy this as much as he can because never in his life is he going to win a race when all the big players are still in the run. This reminds me a bit of Rubens first wins. He won Germany and England after somebody ran on to the track and fucked the race up. Well this is sort of the same lines. Button is worth absolutely nothing when racing against Alonso, Schumi & Raikkonen. :fist:
How amazing that so many drivers made so many mistakes, seems like nobody ever really learned how to drive in the wet. Like when the teamradio came on of Speed confirming the time was right for slicks :roll:
But thé loser of the race was Michael, i mean after the thing that happened to Raikkonen at the Nurburgring last year you'd think they would pit just one last time to make the finish but no. He's definitly lost the championship here, just add two more points at the end of this season and you'll see he would have been champion
@bultaco: phahahahaah, alonso out - so in your face! It aint over till the fat lady sings...

This was one of the best F1 races I saw.
You guys mentioned Alonso, Schumi and Kimi. But I'd like to congratulate the bigest suprises of all... KUBICA!! 
This was Kubica debut on the F1 race and he finished 7th! He is 21 years old and is great.
This was a huge suprise. He made great lap times at fridays as a 3rd driver in other races at the season. This time he started in a race and he made me as excited as seeing a dream car on the street, speechless while watching it.
in the f second lap he did a spin landing in a 16th position. Then he did a pit stop and manage to climb into 10th place. Then again spined and landed on 16the place. After that he climbed to 7th overtaking Ferrari driver and Michael brother. This was a tremendous race.
I don't want to say "what if" but imagine this race with a nice worm weather. I wonder where then Kubica would finish the race
Looking forward to next races with Robert Kubica

Crazy race I must say. Its been a long time since we had a wet race and it made a typically tight and boring circuit come alive with lots of overtaking.
The Top Ten finishers today (apart from Massa) looked like the typical finishers from 11-20 - no Raikkonen, Schumacher, Alonso, etc. If one just joined in, they would have thought Speed TV skipped a page.
I missed the first 20 minutes but the rest was mayhem. Unfortunately it was too early in the AM for popcorn but it would be been perfectly appropriate given all the drama in today's race.
I thought today was a repeat of Indy 2003 where the Bridgestone vs Michelin runners went forwards and backwards depending on the amount of water on the racetrack. If memory serves me right in 2003, the Bstones were atrocious in semi-dry conditions but came into their own as it wetted up. This race was the complete opposite rom a tire standpoint.
I think the best drive was by Alonso today - he was the fastest runner for most of the race and particularly the moments when the track was really wet. Michael was splendid too driving hard when clearly the tires were not the best rubber on the track. i think Michael should have changed tires to slicks at his last stop - it could have perhaps kept him ahead of Heidfeld if not De le Rosa. I wonder what caused his retirement?
Both these guys made their #2s look extremely ordinary today.
Fantastic drive by Button to win under difficult circumstances. He was fast and mistake free and that's how you win wet races.
De La Rosa did a great job too - I liked his remark to guys in the command center - "Dont worry guys I know what I am doing" - I guess the nervous nannies behind the pitwall must have been advising him too much on the radio
Great debut by Kubica

Schumacher retired due to suspension damage, incurred when Heidfeld made a move on him in the same chicane where de la Rosa had a few gos, and Schumacher wound up hitting the back of Heidfeld's car.

Last time I checked, you don't 'let' someone pass you in the dying laps of the race. If he was that much slower, then the competitors have to find a way to get around him. He was racing for points and position, and he was holding his own with de la Rosa pretty well for a while. Not his fault if the competitors can't get by him. Hell, Alonso got by him pretty well.
