Also, this has been VERY entertaining to watch. First time I've ever sat and watched the whole thing. Overtaking, crashes, flying cars. Enjoyed it a lot.

Best bit of the Grand Prix was as Jenson Button was driving from his pit garage to his starting position and the team put Fernando Alonso onto his radio feed, direct from the USA.

"Hey, Jenson - it's Fernando. Good luck and have a great race!"
"Hi mate - cheers. You too. Stay safe!"
"Sure - and look after my car."
"I'm gonna pee in your seat!"

:lolol:

What is the point of a race when no car can overtake another one. My paint that I have just brushed needs to be watched.

There's been a suggestion that the win was engineered. For the complete motor racing idiot how did the early Ferrari pit stop help the other bloke win?

It allowed Vettel to build up a gap in clear air, by pitting Kimmi when they did he was always going to emerge in back markers that would slow him up.

As has already been said, completely within the rules regarding team oreders but not exactly sporting either.

That is of course if Ferrari did it on purpose, which they say they didn't, but to everyone who watches they certainly did. You only had to look at Kimmis body language to work out what he thought.
