The second wet race of this year's Formula 1 World Championship saw the first non-Mercedes powered team to claim victory with Red Bull eclipsing Brawn GP and securing an impressive 1st and 2nd overall. Championship leader Jenson Button finished 3rd with Rubens Barrichello finishing 4th in the second Brawn GP car.
Mclaren Mercedes saw their fortunes improve with their drivers rounding out the top 6, Kovalainen taking 5th whilst a mistake-prone Hamilton finished 6th.
Force India driver Adrian Sutil had a very strong showing running as high a 6th before fate intervened and an aquaplaning moment threw his car nose first into the tyre wall. Sutil was unhurt but it was a big blow to the third team using Mercedes engines.
BMW had a trying race with neither car showing the performance expected from the Swiss / Bavarian racers. Heidfeld struggled home in 12th with Kubica finishing an eventful race in 13th overall. That Kubica finished at all was testament to how well BMW build their F1 cars, a coming together between the Pole and Toyota's Jarno Trulli saw Kubica launched skywards in a shower of shattered carbon fibre bodyparts.
Force India's Fisichella finished just behind Kubica in 14th place, a disappointing result after Sutil's excellent, yet unrewarded, drive.
