I didn't see a thread on the race this weekend, but it was a damn good one to watch.  Lots of overtaking, crashes, wet/dry strategy.  Loved it.     Button took his slicks before the field and turned it into a nice victory... and Hamilton is just a wild man, that is all.  Too bad for Schumi getting caught up in the first turn crash.  He made a nice recovery for 10th after heading to the back of the field and taking 3 stops.  When is the luck going to go Vettel's way?  Poor guy.

+1. There was some good passing and it was nice to see the overall aggression.

I can see how no refuelling can put a team at a disadvantage in certain situations.  Look what happened to Shuey.  Lap 2 nose change and now you can't top off the tank and change the fuel strategy to get some position back.


FAIL.


Great race tho...     

Much better racing this time. Both Alonso and Hamilton having to come back through the field. Button making the call to go out on slicks (which I thought at the time, "they should have done that with Hamilton instead", and then when Jenson was sliding all over the place I thought, "Oh that was a stupid call, he's going to bin it for sure" and then he wins!!

Great drama, great strategy, and great racing.
