Not a bad race. Usual run down, which you can either read or ignore depending on how much you like me
Hamilton: Fairly faultless.
Perez: Great drive. Fantastic watching him hunt down those usually considered the top drivers.
Alonso: Damage limitation, as so often this year. Great first few laps. As long as he maximises points in every race, nobody else will really catch him this year. Lucky not to go off in a big way when squeezed by Vettel, though.
Others:
Massa: Solid drive, but ultimately lacked the pace of people like Alonso and Perez. There's still talent in there somewhere but whether it'll keep him in F1...
Raikkonen: Not the fastest today, but proved himself a hard but clean racer during several passing moves and while being passed himself. A win still has to be on the horizon.
Vettel: I was borderline on the Alonso thing, but the more I watch the footage - and compared to last year, where Fernando left a car's width - he really was being a little naughty. Fairly irrelevant anyway given his retirement, which was unlucky. Result does somewhat vindicate what I said after Spa, which is that it's foolish to say that Vettel will just run away with the rest of this year over the supposedly slower Alonso.
Button: Ditto on an unlucky retirement. Would have had 2nd probably, unless Perez would have snatched it in the last few laps.
Webber: Rare mistake, but not a spectacular drive anyway.
Maldonado: No contact with anyone!
Kobayashi: Needs to step up to match Perez on speed, but another consistent finish.
