    Lots of drivers to pick from. Sebastian Vettel was stunning, his perfectly timed qualifying effort set the tone for his victory and even though many, including myself, expected Red Bull to be disadvantaged by lower top speeds the German never put a foot wrong and took another well judged victory even though his strategy was badly affected by blistering in the opening stages.

    Mark Webber finished second after a great recovery drive a terrible start. His race was highlighted by a superb move on Alonso through Eau Rouge. Even so Webber's performance seemed to lack the sparkle that was needed to make his strategy work but this was another solid showing from Webber.

    Jenson Button salvaged a podium from 13th on the grid with a series of stunning overtaking moves. Once again Button showed that his repuation for lacking the ability to dice wheel to wheel was completely unfounded and his stunning performance surely gives him confidence ahead of Monza.

    Michael Schumacher's drive to fifth from last on the grid showed that even though he will never regain the heights of his former greatness this showed that even after 20 years the fire to race still burns brightly in the seven times world champion

    Schumacher for me. Great drive from him. I think dropping out of qualifying was probably the best thing for him. Had he started further up the field I don't think he'd have drove the way he did.

    micheal schumacher for me ,kept his head down and had a great race and a good finish which is no harm as he tends to get a lot of stick.

    on another point lads,what about vettel for me i think his a ok driver in a fast car and when his out in front yea u could not catch him,but when his not on pole and behind his driveing is in question?

    Brilliant drive schumi!! proof that he donsent need a wet race to be competitive or retirements etc, first race in a while where he didnt get caught up in any shenanigans and best possible result behind the much quicker red bulls mclaren and ferrari

    Absolutely Schumacher, Pity his drive through the field didn't get more coverage though.
