Yes, today Lotus were the best car, but for the weekend it was hands down the McLaren and I am not saying it to diminish the success of Hamilton, but to say bravo to Martin Whitmarsch and the team. In the UK it seemed that it is all over and now they won again.

They still give you 25 points for winning by one second. If you're trying to manage your tyres and fuel load, while also being careful not to take too much life out of your engine and gearbox, why would anybody want to scamper off into the distance? :)

This was not a bad race, but it was definitely the "Valencia 2011" race of the year 2012 so far. Somewhat boring relative to the rest of events. Much of the outcome was determined by qualification result, who changed tires, when, and how fast. I was watching race recording on DVR with my dad after a lunch, and we both were kind of falling asleep in the middle of it. Last year Hungary was good, but that was due to the changing weather conditions.

it`s Good! http://smil.pro/smilies/happy0006.gif

That's one way of looking at it. Of course the other way is: He barely hung on! "Kimi is catching you. Stay calm"! :D
