Not a classic. I'm not against Vettel, quite the reverse, but I grow tired of his tedious processional victories. Not his fault, of course. The McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes designers need to get their act together next year.

Bit surprised Massa got the penalty. Gave driver of the day to Schumacher. 12th to 5th is pretty impressive (he did have some luck with Hamilton and Massa colliding, but even so), and Webber was again lacklustre. Hamilton was not as good as he could be, both before and after his traditional crash with Massa.

Be interesting to see Button and Alonso in a car as good as Vettel's.

Interesting track. Not too keen on all the sand though.
I would love to see what Button could do if he had a car that could keep up with the Red Bull. Gave him DotD. Schumacher did well but I love the way Button sticks to the back of Vettel and at least tries to give him a run for his money.
Very surprised that Massa got a drive through.
