Williams cars will start at the back, talk about a downwards slide.

It can't really get much worse this season for them really!

They could be beaten by HRT in the race

That would be hilarious.

Nice steady drive by Hamilton. Alonso out drove the car and did very well. Shame Button had some problems as he could have given Alonso a go.

Some terrible blocking by the back markers this race, I see some got time penalties as well - http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/96195

This not on iPlayer? Wonder why just not been encoded yet? (trying to avoid reading posts)

Nope, Skeeter is waiting for it as well.

one thing i never understood about the race is why no-one (that i noticed) was clever about the double DRS. pretty much everyone we saw made their overtake after the first DRS zone while braking into the corner, and was immediately overtaken in the second DRS zone. what i would have done, especially after seeing it happen a couple of times, is to do the overtake into the chicane, fake a bad exit and make sure the other driver is ahead of me by the second detection point, meaning i got the advantage of DRS when i was already very close to the driver ahead of me.

can anyone think of any major flaws in my plan, or am i just the only guy that thought of it?

I wondered this too.

Really didn't need Alonso finishing 2nd, my bets are wobbling at the moment
