Pastor Maldonado has secured the first Venezuelan F1 victory ever and the first Williams win since Juan Pablo Montoya in 2004. Home driver Fernando Alonso finished in second place after a race long battle while Kimi Raikkonen finished a close third.

What money should that be and how much and who should have got that?

so much for jenson being the king of keeping his tyres in tact, he was horrible this weekend all the way through.
awsome drive from maldonando, and a very good effort by lewis, only 2 stops and he was all over rosberg at the end.
I dont think the merc's fast at all, they always go well at china, dont expect many wins if anymore from this year.
Congratulations to Maldonado. Can't say I like the guy that much but that was a very worthy drive and thoroughly deserving victory.
Hamilton was my driver of the day, amazing pace, great overtaking, and made the tyres last better than anyone else. 24th to 8th with a grid that close. I think he would have had an easy win had he not had the penalty.
Good drives from Alonso and Kobayashi as well, both getting the most out of their cars. I was a little disappointed with Lotus, don't think either car really showed it's potential although Raikkonen drove a fantastic final stint. Vettel did okay, Button was disappointing.
But, these tires are the absolute worst thing to happen to F1.
Agreed bring back the Bridgestones...
indeed, they actually hurt overtaking due all the marbles they leave off line, imagine the 2010 tyres with DRS and KERS, it would be just fine and qualifying would be a show again to.
Some people here owe Pastor an apology. On a side note, Hamilton would've walked it easy.
Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.
