Fair result for Webber, although a LONG way off the pace set by Alonso - 2.5 seconds slower, which in F1 terms is a lifetime!

Trulli must have had problems?

Must be just the set up of the car.

I think Raikkonen may be the new Shumacher! Good driver in an awesome car. Webber had a shockin pit stop. Prob could of had a Top10

Yeah Webber should have finished top 10. I would love to see how good he could be in one of those infallible Ferrari's!!!

Very impressed with Robert Kubica. Qualified well, showed good speed, then surprise, surprise, his BMW fell to pieces.

Lewis Hamilton has a LOT of backing up to do over the next few races. I've never seen anyone talked up so highly so soon. Sure he had an outstanding result, but give the young fella a little time to show what he's got before saying he's the best thing in F1 since Fangio!!! Seriously, there were some silly calls made about him. The Poms love talking their sporstman up early!

Dunno what DC was thinking either!

It's pretty easy to look shit hot in a top flight team but how impressive would he be in a lesser team. Jenson Button & Jacques Villaneuve where both held aloft and neither has set the F1 world on fire.

Despite one being a World Champion

OOPS! I meant the lad, what was his name?

'What's his name' is a great driver, met him, great person as well.
