What won the race? Dream on! He was 'quick' cause he was low on fuel that was why he was quick. He wasnt 'quick' in China all weekend, Kimi was the boy to beat.

Kimi had the race won the moment Hamilton pitted as it was so early, after that it should have been a foregone conclusion to switch to damage limitation/getting the title, but Hamilton is too much of a pure racer to do that when he believes he can still win the fight.
Gonna be a great final race.Massa's gonna be on fire in Brazil though.
litterally or metaphorically? i wouldnt put either past him
Oh god here we go again...

I really don't want to defend Lewis considering my Kimi fanboy-ism, but I think that's a bit extreme.
Personally I think Lewis just got confused by the sight of an actual gravel trap on a GP circuit. They're all so used to Tarmac runoffs Lewis probably thought he could just drive over it and shave a few tenths off his in-lap time.

With all the praise for Torro Roso, Vettel and Liuzzi, has no one spotted that Button's 5th now moves Honda above Super Aguri?
