Damn, I am so extatic about Kimi winning because he so deserves it. And I hopefully I'm not jumping the gun here but Kimi is most definately Champion material and McLaren is now starting to back him with cars that can withstand his ledfoot.
Yeeha for Kimi, but dammit for Montoya (unlucky)

Was definately an interesting race. Well done Kimi, MS and Rubens.

And to think I was going to have to write something good about Monty. I have to hand it to him, he rarely dissapoints my expectations.

Congratulations also to Massa. nice for him to be so far ahead of his teamate.

Webber seemed to have an uninspiring race. Makes me wonder what could have been. Been doing that a lot this season. Two mistakes (that I know of) and he lost valuable race positions on both. It would have been interesting to see where Nick finished if his motor had of held out.

I seem to remember Renault having a similar performance last year.
