Excellent coverage by the BBC, no adverts plus a whole hour extra of chat and interviews with all the key people afterwards under the guise of "red button" (really just a spare digital channel they have access to).

Well that was fantastic.

My only wish is that Anthony Davidson was in with Brundel. Other than that - fantastic.

And.. What a result!!

That is so that they can now ban the diffusers and take first and second from Button and Barry Chello without giving Hamilton the ten points.

The "sport" is now so politically corrupt that it's nearly as bad as Westminster...

But the corruption and subsequent fights brings in the viewers.... and hence the cash....

First race was too good they have got to find a way to make it 'shitty f1' somehow.

I think it was the Ferrari rule, whereby they didnt get any points so therefore Mclaren can't either.

Much better with no adverts...I only have 3 complaints though. Boot Eddie off...boot that commentator off.....finding I have to wait 2 hours until I can have a piss!
DC was actually quite good, non biased too.
The new 'Louise' is spot on! Forgot her name...quite fit.

I thought that it was quite exciting. Nothing you can do about the weather. It would have been more of a joke to let them keep going.

Agree totally - Webber was the man to watch wasn't he?! - Great battles with everyone.

Fun race - but I don't really understand why they put races in stupid countries with mad weather - a bit of rain is fine, but lets be honest.. that wasn't a bit of rain!

If you ask me I taught the weather add to it. Webber Played a stormer made for a good race. Enjoyed it :)

The only sensible decision.

It's funny how all the teams that were complaining were adamant that they were illigal, but have already developed them, some for this weekend....Hummm

Some teams already had them in the windtunnel last year, UNTIL THE FIA TOLD THEM THEY WERE ILLEGAL!!!

The whole thing stinks to high heaven, as i said before, the 3 teams most likely to pull out of F1 if they didnt get anywhere soon have been given a huge advantage.

The other teams have enough resources to catch up, but will they do it in time???
