I think Coulthard is doing a good job - he's mostly shutting up and letting Brundle speak, but joining in with some decent comments. Mostly.

Improvement from last year, anyway.

[myoozikk]

Eeeeep hold it together Lewis

[Sidewaysbob]

Well thats the end of the race then, unless Petrov can take the fight to Vettel

[dayte]

Uh oh Lewis

[zxcvbnm]

Just wait until Hamilton hits a kirb and rips the undertray off!!!

It'll probably be Massa behind when that happens and he gets it full in the face....

[Sidewaysbob]

DRS just like its a bit of a waste of time then. Fun for qualifying and not much else. ho hum

[PaulM]

I can't make my mind up about how DRS has gone in this race really. I don't think that anyone really wanted something that would automatically get a driver past the person in front of him every time he used it, and to be honest, right now Webber doesn't look like he has a faster car than Alonso (due to lack of KERS?), so I'm kind of glad that he hasn't just whizzed past him by using the DRS.

[PaulM]

Nice one button Redemption!

[dayte]

FINALLY!

[Velse]

Hurrah! Button finally beats Massa.

[Halkyon]

If DRS was 'push-to-pass' it would make it very artificial. It looks like it's just a small speed boost to "enourage" overtaking rather than cause it.

Working as intended IMO.

[PaulM]

It certainly looked like it helped out Button on that last pass.

[JPR]

Impressive from Perez especially with only 1 stop, looked good from Massa to begin with, all seems to have gone wrong though.

[dayte]

Perez is the new Button re: tyre wear

[myoozikk]

Haha the Infiniti loo on the front of the red bull looks a bit like a moustache.

[Sidewaysbob]

1 stopping whilst the likes of Webber 3 stop is pretty impressive.

[myoozikk]

His pace is still on point as well.

[Sidewaysbob]

Glock currently last 9 laps behind Vettel.

[Halkyon]

Come on Petrov, fuck up Alonso agian!

[JPR]

If the Renault is decent you don't want to be left with just Petrov, you'll get nothing...

[Sidewaysbob]

Just what is Petrov doing up there ? he supposed to be rubbish !!

[Halkyon]

Petrov on the podium, amazing. LOL 'reliable' Heidfeld. Russian Lada beats arrogant Spaniard again.

[dayte]

Well done Lewis

Russian champagne for Petrov

[Sidewaysbob]

It'll be finger time then

[dayte]

lol Petrov, you're doing it wrong

[Ivanho]

Vettel is the new schu At least the Button/Massa and other stuff made the race interesting.

[PaulM]

Not a bad race at all in my book. A decent amount of overtaking, and a few surprises in the form of Petrov and Perez. Either way, it's great to have F1 back, even if I didn't really want to get out of bed when the alarm went off

[Sidewaysbob]

indeed, it should be a good season.

[Eighthours]

Hey, Mark Webber: not bad for a number two driver.

[Velse]

I really do fear (and I know it's early to say this) but Vettel could (and should) have this wrapped up by August. He appears be a lot calmer after his first Championship and his car is clearly a class above the rest.
