Awesome drive from all involved to be honest. Was good to see Vettel not pull out his usual lead and face competition throughout the whole race.
Usual Vettel moany-bastard over the team radio though. This time it was Karthekayan's fault that Lewis overtook him (despite there being nowhere safe to pull over on that section), still doesn't retract from the fact that Lewis was on fire yesterday, he would have caught up enough within another lap or two so Karthekayan merely accelerated the inevitable, and when passed, Vettel couldn't take the place back from Lewis.
I think until he learns to grow up and accept that these things happen he won't become what I would class as a "great" racing driver. One thing that will always stick in my mind is him ordering his team to do something because he couldn't overtake traffic earlier in the season.
Impressed with Button and Massa too - got a lot of respect for Massa to accept the gearbox penalty with his head held high.
Shame for Webber, when will Renault fix that alternator?
Got to say though, the American's really pulled it out of the bag - what a great track, and a great watch last night.
