Superb by Lewis. For a man who's made a litany of errors lately, you have to applaud him going through that race with only one relatively innocuous off-track excursion.

Ferrari really messed this one up. Leave Massa to one side, there's no analysing his weekend really. With regards to Raikkonen though, keeping him on the same tyres was a gamble, considering another shower was forecast - but it wasn't completely from left field either, there was some rationale underpinning it. However, not correcting the outcome when the gamble failed and leaving him wallowing around 5 or 6 seconds a lap off the pace was incredible. Then, not changing him to full wet later on - which would have put him a least the same amount per lap quicker was, well, McLarenesque.

Kubica will be kicking himself, Kovalainen will be nervous about his position, Webber should have pitted for full wets as well, there was 6-10 secs to be made per lap and he wasn't risking anything.
