Worth the wait

It was stopped for two hours in the middle, but that was an awesome race in the end. Stacks of real edge-of-the-seat stuff despite the innumerable safety cars. Well done Jenson! Last to first with six trips to the pits and tussles with four other world champions thrown into the mix - not bad! :o)

From what little I've seen this morning, the stewards are taking no further action!

Yes, I heard that this morning too, and a damn good thing too. The stewards have been meddling far too much of late IMO (and not just against drivers I happen to support). Too many harsh penalties for what in the past would have been deemed as "racing incidents" makes a mockery of the on-track drama and discourages the drivers from taking risks.

I was a bit torn - Jenson was amazing and really deserved his win, but I felt for Vettel leading so long and losing the win right at the end. Poor Schumacher as well though, just missing out on his comeback podium - there must be so much pressure on the poor man...

Ah, Seb wins almost every race anyway. He'll get over it. It's time someone else had a turn!

Schumacher on the podium is not something I need to see ever again. I was almost as pleased when Mark got past him as I was when Jenson did ;o)
