Epic facepalm for Raikkonen though, 2nd to 14th..., and Vettel mugged by both McLaren drivers AND Webber on those last few laps, ouch...

Brilliant race though, shame it was spoilt (on the BBC anyway) by the dodgy repetitive commentary by Ben Edwards, getting cars mixed up and patronising us with basic things we already know (I think the average F1 viewer knows the difference between the tyres thank you very much, we don't need to be told about 20 bloody times that one is softer than the other...)

Well done to Leonardo Di Caprio for his first GP win tough, superb drive.

The bloke on Sky is always getting it wrong. They have much fewer ad breaks on the Sky coverage than I expected them to have, ie today they only had just two short breaks in the hour and a half build up, and then just one (iirc) in the post race analysis which went on until about 2 hours after the race.

As for the tyres, they have to cater for viewers who have never watched F1 before.
