Crazy race. Really enjoyed it. Don't know how many hours it was from buildup to finish, and I'm still yet to watch the BBC forum.
I think it was a good decision to start behind the safety car. But red flag was silly, especially as they restarted it in the same conditions. The track was never going to improve unless they unleash diffusers at F1 speeds. As proven after 10-15 laps the track was drying out quite well, even with light drizzle. I don't get why Charlie doesn't seem to get that. Sure it may have been "dangerous" but these drivers are the best of the best of the best. I guess they were just scared because it's a new unfinished track.
Anyway, the race itself. Awesome. Total lottery at the end of the day.
Alonso.. Didn't put a foot wrong that I saw. No mistakes from him. Brilliant drive. Could have challenged Vettel at the end I think. He was 3-4 seconds faster then anyone at the end. Crazy.
Hamilton. I was expecting a bit more from him at the start, and then when Nico did him down the straight, I was shocked. Got a bit lucky, but, this race was always going to be about luck. He wasn't going to hold off Alonso for long, but more than one corner would have been nice lol.
Massa. Didn't really do anything for me. Great save to not do a Webber at the end. Good Points for the prancing horse.
Button... No grip anywhere. Funny interview after the race. But to not get past a Torro Rosso. Come on? His title hopes are finished sadly. Has been a good world champion I thought.
Vettel. Initially I was happy to see his engine pop, but, it was a very cruel way to finish a brilliant drive, and maybe his title hopes, unless he can pull off a Kimi!
Webber. Everyone saw what happened. Gutted for him. Was identical to Alonso's at Spa. Sad to see him take out Nico too.
Sutil. Wtf? Worst drive I've seen for a while I'd say. He just seemed to either go off the road, or crash into people. Was actually happy to see him crash out at the end.
Can't really remember anything else.
This championship is awesome. Last 2 races are going to be interesting. Lewis needs to up his game if he wants a shot. As much as I don't like Alonso, he has been driving beautifully recently.
Excited!!!! Hurry up Brazil!
