Comments: Well deserved victory for RBR-Renault, for a car without diffuser and KERS. They manage to keep the Brawn GP cars at bay. It was a wet race throughout and only the wet tyres were used for the whole duration of the race, except Nico Rosberg, whom gambled on the intermediates during the late part of the race, only to have off track excursions as the track is still pretty wet. Ferrari eneded with no points again. Force India has a chance to score a single point towards the end of the race, but unfortunately, Adrain Sutil spun the car and has to nd the race with only 6 laps to go and with points on hand. With the 1-2 victory, RBR-Renault has replaced Toyota for 2nd spot on the Constructors' Championship table, closing up on Brawn GP.
