Frances Fry - "The COTA is perhaps one of the most intense tracks in the calendar. On the Fan Forum both Perez and Gutierrez said sector one is incredible and the third sector was the most difficult. I believe the race lived up to their comments.
This weekends race was incredible! Right from lights out. Lap 1 gave us quite the start with the contact between Perez, Sutil and Raikkonen. From that moment on I found my self scared to blink due to fear of missing some action which I must say seemed inevitable. Not only were there close calls between a few cars but also, the track allowed the drivers to enjoy their racing and get stuck in!
Once again, Button was allowed to show us all the great racing we've missed for most of the season. Jenson Button's idea of wheel-to-wheel racing is never a let down whoever it's with, where ever it is.
In the moments where there did seem an even remotely less than entirely attention grabbing few seconds, Romain Grosjean (who was complaining of understeer) caught my attention as he often found himself battling with corners and I don't think you could count all of the lock ups if you used all of your fingers and toes.
Essentially, the race was great. There was never a dull moment and I really cannot wait until next seasons race! COTA did not let me down."
Amy Hawk - "I really enjoyed this race. Not only is it my home race, but it was super entertaining. I loved all the wheel-to-wheel action and the constant battle between Nico (Rosberg) and Lewis (Hamilton).
It was disappointing to see a double DNF for Sahara Force India, especially for Checo (Perez) as he considers it his home race. It was a racing accident.. And unfortunately things didn't end well. As for Nico, it was an engine problem which couldn't be fixed by settings.
Huge congratulations to Lewis on his win and to the other podium finishers, Rosberg and Ricciardo. They drove incredibly all the way to the end.
Unfortunately for Sauber, it wasn't the results they'd hoped for. Esteban had a great pace, but it was just impossible to catch up after the penalty. As for Sutil, his race was over on the same lap as Perez so.. We didn't really get to see what would have happened.
But on to Brazil now and hopefully things will turn out better at the Interlagos circuit."
