Oh, what an awesome race. Shame all my favourites couldn't catch a break: Kubica and Piquet with unfortunate spins that
really weren't their fault, and Alonso who got ****ed over time and time again with strategic decisions - not changing tyres at first was a big mistake, as was fueling to the finish, since his tyres weren't up to it. He ran top-times whenever he was on a fresh set, but he struggled so hard at the end of the second stint that even Kazuki on the full-wets was closing in on him. At least Barrichello got on the podium, with a brilliant call (by Ross Brawn or someone else?). The Hondas were absolutely flying there, and made up the time they lost in the pits within two laps - and then went on to 2nd place! A third place was so much more than what they could've hoped for - it's shaping up like a great season for the old-timer Barrichello.
I do wonder, sometimes, what sort of alcoholic mixture flows in the blood of a Renault strategist. Every single call they make is wrong, too early, or too late. The drys at Monaco, first on Alonso and then on Piquet. The odd strategies at Barcelona (understandable, since they were shooting for pole), but then also Canada and France. Or not changing tyres, learning that the car struggles on worn tyres, and then deciding to do an epic 32-lap stint. Didn't they think of replicating the Hondas? The Renault was 4 positions ahead, so with the Wets, it could've been a solid podium. They could've at least experimented with one of the cars - perhaps the easier-to-drive tyres for Piquet? I don't understand these guys.
As for Hamilton, that
was a great drive - but dammit, Allen, shut up! The RTL guys were stupid enough to commit virtual suicide by giving him the control over their microphones for the last lap. "Oh and Lewis and he's driven a mesmerizing race and he's fantastic and oh oh oh." Equally good races were Heidfeld's, Barrichello's and a few others.
Or in the first 2 races (both in the dry) this year.
Yet since that, he even drove cleaner than Kimi in a few races, and equals Kimi for the championship lead. Kimi wasn't an angel this race either (nor on quite a few other occasions), and was
very lucky when he spun over the gravel, luckily stopping on the green bits just meters ahead of the pitlane wall. The Ferrari was just atrocious in the wetter conditions, and both drivers had to back off extremely out of the final corner, where that bump caught Massa off-guard three times, and Raikkonen twice.. The only top-driver who wasn't off the track today was Heidfeld.
The commentators are damned if they do and damned if they don't pay attention to British drivers... and it's not a uniquely British phenomenon either. But Hamilton is winning races, and hence he's getting the attention.
True point - the Germans are even crazier at times, especially when more than two of the six Germans are in strong positions. I've had the (mis)fortune of hearing both the English channel about Hamilton's victory
and the German channel about Heidfeld's 2nd place, and they did sound pretty much the same:
"And Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix, what a mesmerizing drive". 30 seconds later,
"Und jetzt kommt Nick Heidfeld, was fur eine tolle fahrt zum zweiten platz!". They even said
"We're going to react just like James did".
nice bit of sarcasim, but it'll still rain in Donnington! 
, but ofcourse Hamilton done well.
That is one of the greatest races I've seen ever! Even better than Nurburgring last years!!!!! 
But wow, I'm out. You all have said it for me, wonderful race and yeah, congrats to Lewis on his dominating win in the British GP. 👍
