Almost as good as jumping two spots at the start, from 4th to 2nd to pass two Ferraris by the end of the first corner. All that, and he set the fastest lap of the race on his second Grand Prix ever.
Massa made a silly error trying to pass Hamilton, but Kimi drove a good race. And Heidfeld got BMW a fourth place spot!
Go McLaren!
Sorry about Honda, Vig. Two seconds off the pace each lap.

Hamilton was nothing short of brilliant! It wasn't just impressive how he overtook the two Kimi and Massa, but was just as terrific to watch him fend of Massa those first two laps...all too well.
It made me chuckle when he said he 'tricked Massa' into running off. I still maintain that Massa is only good in time trials like practice and qualis..when there isn't another car close to around him. Too bad about Kimi's engine difficulties- I think it would've been real entertainment to see him go after Hamilton the whole race, like he did at the end.
As far as Honda goes, it was very bad and sorta good. Barichello got the shaft during qualis, but got to 11th from last..not bad. He called his car 'crap' which isn't far-fetched. Some interesting/excellent news is that Nick Fry/Honda is talking to Ross Brawn about joining. How amazing would that be..
And about you guys getting to watch F1 in HD ......................
