Oh, damn it's not till 3:30. I'm still waiting. 

Interesting race. Everyone getting caught out on the wrong tyre. TWICE.

Except Timo Glock. One of the few on intermediates during the light rain period. Ferrari really surprised me when they sent Kimi out on the full wets on a dry track. Almost as bad as not sending Massa back out during Q1.

yup... intermediates would've been the call for that stop, but brawn even sent button back out on softs. look at how that worked out for them. 

i'm waiting for bernie to get some grief for his decisions to run "late" asian races for the euro fans.

the first time, it made racing difficult if not unnecessarily dangerous for the racers.

the second, it timed the race perfectly with the afternoon monsoon and with the setting sun.  the irony of that one is, it didn't help the euro fans at all because it ended being a stupid short race.

i wonder if his approach will change?
