Congrats to team Red. Another good drive by Massa. I love how he almost wrecked in the pit and then proceedes to blame Sutil during the post race press conference. Real class act! Let's hope Ferrari can produce engines that last longer than two races for the rest of the season. If so, he is my choice as Ferrari's go to guy.
On another note, the vote question on F1's site today is "Is the world drivers' championship now a two-horse race between Lewis and Felipe?" I believe no and it is way to soon to tell. With Ferrari popping engines and dropping transmissions and running over their pit crew, there is no way to know for sure if they can continue to compete with MM. Lets hope for some more low contact corner to corner driving in the remaining races. Go MM!!!

I really feel that it is a 2 way race for the championship, Im not even sure how KR has managed to stay near the very top with his performances (performance not finishes) in the last 6 or so races. I really feel that alot of his issues at this point are mental.
I am curious to see what Ferrari says is the failure of this motor... not saying that i buy into there reason of why FM motor failed.
But all in all a good win for Ferrari, a very nice showing over the course of the weekend by some of the young guys, the only thing that could have made it better is if Lewis would have dnf-ed

Ferrari better get their $hit together in the next two weeks. I was glad to see Felipe's engine hold together, but losing Kimi's sucked.
I like the track for the most part, it's got some really quick corners. Coming in to the last hairpin before start finish is awesome.
Overall I think the race was OK, no safety car witch I think everyone was expecting. I think the Ferrari still has the pace over MM provided the thing doesn't grenade before the end of the race. I hate to see FA go out of the race so early. Vettal had a real nice run, Kubica, Trulli and Rosberg. The BMW's are still way off the pace though.
Moving forward, I look for Ferrai to own Spa, Kimi's going for his 4th win in a row.

I almost felt as if this track was more of a fundraising event or glamour track for the beautiful people. It seems like its on the calendar to display the cars. I don't know if I would consider it a place for "real" racing. Maybe it should just rain at every event for the rest of the season.

Absolute BS!!! "Ferrari International Assistance!!!" All the F'ing way. I've never seen more rubbish in all my life. It's getting ridiculous. That was a righteous, fair, and well deserved win. And to think the FIA could just strip it away???
