Great race! Renault are competitive again, Kubica shows his talent in worst car in top 3 today, and Hamilton shows that he can suprise us just as he did at the end of last season. Hamilton did too much mistakes\unnecessary moves today; he (and Massa too) wanted to be at the lead too much. Hamilton lost today due to his hot head – again :/

Well done to Fernando. Compared to last season, (where I really loathed his behaviour) his conduct and driving, monaco aside, has been excellent.
I’m a Hamilton supporter, but Alonso in a Ferrari next season, should the albeit small chance of Kimi’s contract being bought out be realised, would be great for F1.

Williams team is extremely disappointing this time round.

Alonso is showing he is the best driver in the field, meanwhile Lewis and Massa look like bumbling idiots.

i used to hate fernando because i think he used to be as selfish as hamilton. but i also think last year he lost a kinda psychological battle inside Mclaren – and he has been dropped to earth. hes showing some humility this year – based on that f1racing article 2-3 months ago.
so im happy with his results. hes doing a great job indeed.
no comment on the title contenders…

Way to go Alonso! hope he’ll be back to fight again next year, in a renault. He fits so perfectly there. :D As for Hamilton & Massa.. I’d just love it if both of them failed and Kubica won the title, would be awesome! :D
My two favorite fans: Alonso & Kubica :D gogo!
