While we say goodbye to France from the Formula One World Championship, Lewis Hamilton said goodbye to pole position and the race victory.

Kimi Raikkonen – Welcome back Kimi! While not as dominant as his Australian Grand Prix victory, he worked a bit of magic to get ahead of teammate Felipe Massa in the pits. A really great drive to keep the McLaren boys honest.

Felipe Massa – Another strong performance from the Brazilian. Great pole, great start and a fairly good race – only thing that let him down has a handful of slow laps around Kimi’s pit stop.

Lewis Hamilton – Another bad start, but this time didn’t have the luxury of going up against a teammate who will always avoid an accident into the first corner.. Thus Kimi powered through. People want to blame the McLaren strategy, but regardless Ferrari had the edge through the whole race.

Fernando Alonso – Very exciting to watch, but in reality it’s another bad race for Fernando.

Nick Heidfeld – Nick is possibly doing a better job at preventing Alonso from getting a 3rd straight championship than Lewis Hamilton is ;)   Not a bad drive, but he didn’t seem very quick, especially when compared to his teammate.

Giancarlo Fisichella – Fantastic result for Renault! I wonder if Renault are thinking about their driver line-up for next year because both Giancarlo and Heikki have got their sh*t together so much in the last few rounds.. :)

Robert Kubica – Wow! What a comeback! This is the best thing that could happen to the guy to get him right back in the swing of things! :)

Christijan Albers – WTF!? Who on Earth drives off while the lollipop is still down (and absolutely no sign of flinching from the lollipop man)!? An absolute embarrassment and just lucky no-one was hurt! :(

Jenson Button – Quite a good performance for him and Honda in the new car. But does anyone know who Honda’s 2nd driver is because I haven’t seen Rubens Barrichello anywhere for.. well.. all year basically ;)
