Good on him.

Nice to see a Brit win F1 again.

Could be a very weird season if he wins championship in his first season!

The race was a bit rubbish though. Safety car 4 times, but kubiza's crash was pukka!

I find F1 one of the most brain numbing things to watch, next to Big Brother.

oh your in trouble for giving result to people who havent seen it, and also for not giving a full analysis of the race in question

or maybe that was just for me last week on the motogp - any comments 'skull' or whatever you were called?

Congrats to Lewis, i have a bet on Kimi on the championship, but thats not going to happen, so i would prefer Lewis over Alonso

Great pass by Sato near the end Thumbs Up

Great race Very Happy

Louis was solid Thumbs Up

Nice to see a Brit winning something. Even Bonhomme couldn't pull off a win on Sat!

outstanding credit to the 'rookie' held his nerve after 4 Safety Cars being released. Sato was very good as well. Well deserved after all the podium finishes. I think he will win the American race next week.

That was an awsome race, mainly because there are long straights and plenty of chances for overtaking.
Go Hamilton!
Poor Kubica, that was horrific - sent a shiver down my spine!

And to walk away (not literally) with just a broken leg

I love it when people say F1 is boring, I can merely laugh at the basic prejudice you have to an action filled sport. Especially today full of avertakes, accidents, tactics, excellent driving.

''But despite widespread reports claiming that he has a broken leg, the hospital said Kubica has sustained minor injuries and confirmed he will be released after a precautionary overnight observation.''

...just a sprained ankle!

I agree Craig, 10 - 15yrs ago he would have been dead, no question.

Type ertan senna ( probably wrongly spelt) into youtube and watch the accident. Safety is simply amaizing, if Kubica has a couple of wings he would have taken off and left the track.

The biggest impacts are in drag racing, and to a lesser extent Indycar and Nascar. People have hit stationery objects at 280+ mph in what is essentially a nitro fuelled bomb and walked away. Surviving a comparitively slow crash shouldn't be too difficult, particularly in F1 where the safety has become so paramount that the racing is shit boring.

Senna was killed by being hit in the head by a loose wheel, not the impact.
