We just had one of the most exciting races of the last few years & yet the media is concentrating on the Alonso/Hamilton who, who's father, who's manager said what about who! special mentions to Kimi, Hiekki, Kubica, Weber & even Vettel - prior to his gaffe.

Buried at the back of the pack & blinded by spray he drove through the field to take third, big balls indeed.

A small but important distinction. And how about poor Felipe called into the pits so that teammate Kimi had a shot at the podium to stay in contention for the driver's title? Ferrari and sportsmanship, they are mutually exclusive, aren't they. Both Vettel and Webber may be owned by Mateschitz, but Webber is Red Bull and Vettel is Toro Rosso.
