A polished performance by Kimi resulted in his second consecutive Grand Prix win. Fernando finished second and Lewis a distant 3rd after a tyre problem after the first stint. Frankly the Ferrari's looked a little quicker and seemed kinder on their tyres - not to take anything away from a faultless performance from Kimi. Great job from Felipe in 5th - he started from the pitlane after stalling at the start. Kubica in 4th was good value - not allowing Felipe to get past in what was clearly a quicker package.
