FERRARI
MASSA: Absolutely peerless out front, rarely bothered by Raikkonen and always seemed to have some time in hand. Certainly has answered the critics, even after being out-qualified by Kubica.
RAIKKONEN: In the shadow of Massa all weekend as he never really seemed to find the ideal set-up. However, was always bound to finish second, particularly after the first lap shenanigans. Now leasd the Drivers Championship.
BMW-SAUBER
KUBICA: Kind of blew it at the start by being out-dragged by Massa and was always going to find it difficult to keep Raikkonen behind him. However, he always kept the Ferrari's in sight and kept his team-mate behind him.
HEIDFELD: Showed to be rather racy today by passing a few cars but never had enough to pass his team-mate. Second in the Championship is just reward for a solid start to the season.
McLAREN-MERCEDES
HAMILTON: Blew the start and it got worse from there. Was he brake-checked by Alonso? Only the Spaniard would know, but that blew any chance of points after being put on a one-stop strategy. Still proved racy with dices down the field.
KOVALEINEN: Blown away by the BMW's in the first two stints, but got to grips with the track and car by the end. Set fastest lap.
TOYOTA
TRULLI: Best of the rest again and he's proving the Toyota is a competitive package. And he's no longer leading the 'Trulli Train'. Car still needs development but they are going in the right direction.
GLOCK: Finally finished a race but never looked likely to score points. However, a top ten finish in a competitive midfield is still good, but he needs to get a point or two.
RED BULL-RENAULT
WEBBER: Putting DC in the shade with another competitive outing and more points. Finally starting to back up his qualifying speed with points. More development should surely put this car higher up the grid.
COULTHARD: Early lap shenanigans then another clash with Button mid-race put DC behind the 8-ball. 50/50 incident with Button. Were you looking in your mirrors DC?
WILLIAMS-TOYOTA
ROSBERG: Will be disappointed with only 8th but another competitive showing from Rosberg and Williams. But the team seemed to have slightly lost their speed since the winter, but that could have been due to conditions today.
NAKAJIMA: Probably caused one or two issues on the first lap, but after that got his head down and at least finished the race.
RENAULT
ALONSO: The only talking point will be his incident with Hamilton. That compromised his race and from there never looked fast enough to score points.
PIQUET: Third race in and yet to prove his worthy really. However, a gearbox problem seemed to end his race.
HONDA
BUTTON: Compromised after a first lap collision but certainly showed pace. 50/50 with his incident with DC - he was committed to the pass but would he have made the corner?
BARRICHELLO: Certainly more competitive this year than last but needs to get closer to his team-mate.
FORCE INDIA-FERRARI
FISICHELLA: He's doing what he did at Jordan and Sauber - putting the car where it clearly shouldn't be. Why couldn't he repeat these performances during his time at Renault? Should score a point this season.
SUTIL: Seems to have lost out this season as Fisichella is clearly leading the way. Uncompetitive.
TORO ROSSO-FERRARI
BOURDAIS: Mixing it in the midfield but the team have already started dropping down after looking really strong in Australia.
VETTEL: Not much to say. Taken out on lap one in other people's accidents.
SUPER AGURI-HONDA
DAVIDSON: Did the important thing. Beat his team-mate.
SATO: Clearly the package is awful and the accident in qualifying didn't help.

All anyone is going to talk about is the Hamilton/Alonso crash. I hate Alonso but that was Hamilton making a stupid mistake and then pushing too hard without a wing.

I love the part when they thought Alonso spun almost had a heart attack then the reassuring 'ohh its only piquet.........its only piquet'
