    I have to agree. The amount of time the commentators spent talking about this, virtually every time anyone was passed at one of the chicanes, was ridiculous.

    VERY BAD for TV revenue and all, so Bernie will ask MaX not to let that happen.....
    What I meant was that there will be no penalty on Massa cause the spa deal and a massa penalty...combined.....would be bad for keeping fans interested

    NO WAY, stuff like this is what generates controversy and makes fans get fired up and watch races and so forth......face it, in the absence of such crud, the races are too boring to keep the interest up and revenues high

    Sad though as I am about that...

    Why do you keep watching, then? There have always been good and bad F1 races. Today's was excellent.

    Today was great. I'm not sure why anyone is bitching.

    Terrific race, a lot of passing, and great results.
    Then I come on here and people are crying. What gives?

    Today's race was amazing. One of the best I've seen for ages. Very happy for Vettel also, and for Massa closing the gap in the championship
    Forza Ferrari!

    Bad habit from the 1964 and on...hard to break.....but in the last few years i have gone to recording the race, that way I can fast forward and watch the five minutes of the start, the pitstops and the finish while fast forwarding thro the rest.

    Today instead of videotaping I watched because of the rain, otherwise nore:

    And for those thinking best race in ages, what??????Let us see, how many passes for the lead in this race?? None
    Big Question: Would it rain hard.....no
    Would david Hobbes wake up enough to say something almost intelligent or Funny.......no, but "I do remember when I was racing sixty years ago, it was terrible to drive in the rain around here....TERRIBLE.......
    Would Seb V do something stupid and run off track or do a Seb. B and stall out.......(sad because my gut tells me that with Seb B there was a chance for a Hamberger "one-two finish").......no

    And the big moment of suspense at the end, could KIMI get the record??
    "YES, HE DID IT"(to quote speed tv) Last lap fastest lap of the race!!!!!Again. "WOW."
