McLaren for giving Alonso (although not Hamilton) the strategy he ultimately needed to win. Red Bull for having the first promising race of the season, and managing not to break down. Spyker for their brilliant tactics at the start of the race - shame that Sutil threw it off and that Winkelhock broke down. In fact, if the red flag hadn't been shown, and Markus hadn't retired, how high could he have finished? |

Well, he retired through a mechanical issue so it doesn't matter really. But he was so far off the pace over the weekend that I doubt he would have got points. |

31 seconds is a big lead, though - although in the dry it would probably have disappeared within less than ten laps. I think there could have been points in order for him, though, if the right strategic calls were made and so on. |

Well, we will never know sadly. But I wonder if Albers would have led in the same situation! Anyway, top teams are Mclaren, Ferrari and Red Bull. Decent reliability for once. |

Redbull mainly, i was amazed both cars ran trouble free for once. Toyota look even more in the duldrums, with only 9 points and a fairly distant 7th in the constructors. |

Just thinking about reliability...the Toro Rossos have crashed out so often this season that their reliability is probably not quite as bad as first seems. Liuzzi hasn't finished outright since Malaysia. Which is 8 consecutive retirements, a shocking record. |

I thought Liuzzi did a far better job than Speed last season, but this year there's very little between them. Sadly it seems that it's Liuzzi moving back rather than Speed moving forward that is making the difference. |

Red Bull only. A Ferrari broke and McLaren completely screwed up by putting Lewis on drys after the saftey car. |

That was his choice, by his own admission. |
