5hrs 17min of F1 watching is a new record in my house!!
Great race eventually but a few things that annoyed me with it too! They should have always started the race as normal without the safety car, there wasn't any need for that as it's a fairly slow first section anyway so no more dangerous then any race at the start - These guys are the best in the business after all so let them go and fight it out....
I think Lewis was incredibly unlucky this time, he was soooooooooooo much quicker then Button on Wets and proves to me he would have won the race pretty comfortably if he hadn't been put in the wall... Fair enough Button said he didn't see him coming but he knew he'd made a mistake on the last chicane and saw Lewis in his mirrors so surely knew he was going to be carrying a lot more speed!
DRS didn't work IMO, it was too much of an advantage and certainly didn't need to be in 2 places as people were over-taking using it, then using it again to pull away which seemed a bit unfair (But it's all a learning curve i know)!
I was really pleased for Michael, but he was never going to be able to hold off Button or Webber, as it dried their cars were just sooo much faster but i think he proved a lot of people wrong and showed that he can still mix it up when the car is quick, and if you gave him the Red Bull or Mclaren he wouldn't be far off Button, Vettel and Co!
