I’m not quite sure how to evaluate this race. I think up until lap 40 we had a very strong contender for "worst race of the season," then madness ensued for a few choice laps, before the race then quietened down for the finish.

Don’t get me wrong, the two exciting moments were fantastic, and Lewis and Jenson both deserved their finishing positions. However, I think it would be wrong to say this race was anything other than an ultimate disappointment.

Before the race even began there were a couple of technical issues worth a mention. Di Grassi had to be pulled off the grid and back to the pits due to an oil leak and Mark Webber had to have his rear anti-roll bar bolts changed, (as Vettel did yesterday).

However, having said that, there was one crucial maneuver. Into turn one Schumacher managed to skilfully force his way past Button.
