Great race by Jenson, well deserved win
Great race by Kubica and Vettel, undeserved stupid end for both. That said I don't think Vettels is exclusively guilty of the accident, but he is responsable of having put a hard fight with a too superior car.
But the star of the race in my opinion is also Hamilton. If someone had doubts about his quality when driving on a weaker car, they should be gone by now. He drove an excellent and faultless race, taking calculated risks when conditions favoured him, and took the best out of what material he had. A brillliant and well fought race by the champion
Alonso had bad luck at the start, then dilluted in the mid-field struggling agianst the Toyotas. The great move Glock made on him received a mild fight back, but somehow I saw more aggressive defences from him in other situations. IMO he is already running with a calculator in his mind, in view of the crazy season that has started, and in the end it came out well - he bagged some points. Albert Park also didn't favour much the R29, let's see what happens in Malaysia.

The FIA decision won't really affect the balance of things. Either they'll say the trick diffuser illegal and the Diffuser Gang will drop back to everybody else, or they'll say it's legal and everybody else will build trick diffusers and catch up with the Diffuser Gang. Either way, the DG will lose about half a second to the rest of the field.

Right, but the thing is how fast can the rest cacth up, with the limited testing available right now
Eventually JB could bag enough points to resist the others catching up lately; that's how Alonso achieved his two titles.
