* Felipe Massa's 7th ever win!
* Sebastian Vettel's third and Lewis Hamilton's 16th podium finish.
* Third points finish in a row for Glock, who before this streak only ever had scored points twice.
* Both Toyota drivers in the top six for the first time since Hungary 2005, where Ralf Schumacher was third and Trulli was sixth.
* Off the top of my head, eleven drivers classified is pretty good for a race with miserable Quality rating (see below).

Meanwhile, Glock and Vettel are both moving closer to Heidfeld for Top German honours...

Bernie struck gold again in Spain, where Barcelona already has established itself as the boringest venue on the calendar. 2002-2007 Quality average there was 4.40, and it didn't improve this year.
