    Shame he had his nose taken out on the first lap or I think he could well have been challenging for the win

    For those who say he isnt a racer like Lewis - interesting fact - even before today he had overtaken more drivers in the races than anyone else this season - and today some of his passes were stunning. And unlike Lewis he seems to do it without hitting people very often

    Did feel a bit sorry for Hamilton today though - whilst he may have been partly to blame for not looking in his mirrors I really think that Kobayashi should have backed out a bit - he could see he was heading for a crash and just kept going

    Absolutely

    I'll certainly have to eat my words about his passing. Seemed to have the bit between his teeth today. It was a shame about his nose damage but then again, maybe his race would have panned out differently had it not happened.

    I still can't fathom how deliberately bashing into someone is only a five place grid penalty though. Do the stewards really think that having someone that immature behind the wheel of a F1 car is fine?

    Re: Absolutely

    he only gets to pass that many because he starts that far down the field. did well today though.
