great job by Alonso by managing to hold up everyone! I think he's still leading the drivers championship as well

and big boost for Renault to have Kubica 2nd

and of course inspired pit lane change for Button, sure everyone thought it was a huge mistake when he came out and went sliding

The first lap was great. And plenty of wheel to wheel racing, with even Alguersuari fighting with Schumacher to retain his place.

Vettel was unlucky again. Sutil disappoints, while Liuzzi does the needed for Force India. And, for the Hispania RT, Chandhok does well by finishing the race.
