Did anyone expect Nico to have 2 wins while Lewis is still sat on 0?

Hamilton had the pace to win, especially looking at how he didn't pit for new tyres but still came through with Webber and Alonso. If he hadn't had that puncture it would have been his in my view.

Solid job from Rosberg and good finish from Webber and Alonso.

Kimi was right. They should have pitted during the safety car.

Most exciting race of the year, shame about the tyres

Great drives from Hamilton and Massa to come back from punctures to get good points. And how fast was Hamilton at the end even though he'd used a set of tyres less than those in front of him. He still had great pace on older tyres. Without that tyre blow out it doesn't look like anyone would have stopped Hamilton winning.

Good last few laps of close, fair racing. Indeed, most of the racing was fair today - a couple of slightly naughty moves by Sutil on the approach to Copse but other than that it was good stuff.

Mercedes is now standing 2nd in WCC! Who would have thought about that?

Looks like Mercedes may have gone a long way to solving their tyre wear issues. Given that Lewis was faster than Fernando on older harder tyres, they are looking better. The punctures seem to be a totally separate issue to the tyre wear.

What did Alonso say in the post-race podium driver room that Crofty apologised for?

It's not really a surprise to me to see Hamilton get the puncture and not Rosberg.
