Late response to the last race...
Just as I thought, Vettel took it
An excellent race by the RBR boys (1,2), and a thoroughly enjoyable race for the spectators. Will this fun fun fun continue, or will the fears of the "no refuelling = boring races" crowd prove to be true. So far not
Good to see Nico Rosburg on the podium, and doing well so far this season (5th in the drivers championship). He seemed to do well last year during pre-qualifying, but failed to make good during qualifying and the main race.
Button done well to keep the Farrari boys away from threatening Hamilton, and making any further gains on the lead, not that that was his intention.
I had to feel sorry for Alonso, all the effort, and genius, to make such great gains, from a starting position that most other drivers would not have improved on by much, only to suffer mechanical failure not far from the race's end. But, then again, PHEW. It gave RBR and McLaren a much needed boost.
Who will win ?? Who the hell knows.... anyone's game at the mo
If they could guarantee no mechanical problems, I reckon this would predominantly be a 2 man race: Alonso vs Vettel
All other drivers seem to either have less quality cars, or let their emotions get the better of them.
I can't recall seeing Vettel starting from the back of the grid. It would be interesting to see how he would fare, as we know that to Alonso, most that are in front of him, no matter how many, are farely soon eliminated. Except for Massa
A job well done by my fave team - McLaren, and a nice positive response by both boys in front of the camera... keep it up
