Well this is just a stupid way to end a race!!! We dont know really what is happening and with half points being awarded for this race life is just going to be even more confusing I am gutted as Mark was driving an awsome race and he deserves better that 6th out of this. His drive was awsome.

good race by Mark, minimal mistakes and confirmed the car was good in wet and dry. Not much negativity from this one

Well at least Mark finished and also he was being very racy and pulled off some great moves both offensive and defensive He had a great battle with nando and lewis and that was great to watch. I may watch again on channel 10 later when they show it on normal TV as oposed to HD Just to see those battles

Confusion for us but pretty straight forward for stewards I fear. The result will stand, they wont be making exceptions for all the weird situations within the race.

Well I can live with 6th A podium would have been better but such is life Jenson joking that he cant see a checkered flag without a safety car atm I like that 1.5 points is still more than 0

Great drive by Mark, just a shame he gets shafted for being in the wrong place yet again. Very positive about the car speed so hope it continues. The starts are a bit worrying though. Even if Mark gets away well he just gets swamped by cars with KERS on board. They have the potential to ruin our race every time if we get stuck behind them. Guess Mark will just have to get pole every race from now on

With how it ended, I wouldn't be surprised if results change again.

Guess Mark will just have to get pole every race from now on I think he got a pretty decent start but was in an akward position and was cautious and broke early so he wouldn't be squeezed again. I would have like to have seen him in the inside or outside going into the first corner instead of the middle where you can get into trouble

Besides the start, Mark was epic. His 2nd dry stint pace was awesome, his wet pace was untouchable. I'll check later but of the people on the full wets he was just monumental.
He was really aggressive too, his battles with World Champions Alonso and Hamilton will be something I'll remember for a long time.

I don't think anyone can reasonably doubt Mark's wet pace now, absolutely glorious.

I agree with everything LoudHoward said. Start wasn't that bad though, just that the KERS cars made benefit and he got squeezed out on the first corners. I'd prefer him be cautious - we all know how heartbreaking a first corner retirement is.

The stupid thing is... mark pitted on Lap 31 (then 1 lap later on 32).
How on EARTH can they count that as his last lap? If you are racing, and it is the last lap of the race, you do not pit. you cross the line.
If he crossed the line... he would've been podium.

stunning drive - taking seconds per sector off everyone for awhile in the wet.

Well Mark was almost matching Glocks pace and glock was on the inters and Mark was on the full wets!!!
The Red Bull sure is the best of the non difuser cars and showed it even more in the wet!!!
This is going to be a nail biting season as with the pace in the car atm we know that Mark is finally in a car that could give him that win!!!

I'd prefer him be cautious - we all know how heartbreaking a first corner retirement is. I think cautious can be good as well but the position he was in wasn't ideal (middle of track being swamped from both sides). Would have preferred inside or outside

(in about 9th spot?). He came out in 7th... not too bad.

Well I think if we saw a replay Mark did actually get himself to the inside of turn one and then was able to take advantage around the outside of turn two
