You're telling me they had the same car? Sure didn't seem like it.

I haven't done that in some time.

A lot going on, a lot to talk about and thankfully no major injuries. As for it being good race, well there was some good clean overtaking, especially from teams that you wouldn't expect like Sato, which made it good to watch, but I'm not sure there was really a great deal of actual racing. Positions were governed by the incidents which is why drivers ended up in positions they would not normally be seen in. For me it was the most interesting race so far, but I'd still like to see a bit more actual racing. Sato provided most of that in the latter stages which was great.

Best race I have ever seen. If there was ever a time to have a 2 week break this would be it, there will still be stories swirling around by the time the USGP starts.
