For me, one of the highs of the race was the epic battle between the McLarens and Maldonado's Lotus sometimes around lap 48-49 (the idiotic NBC sports channel covered all of it with commercials and some stupid old throwback footage instead of showing the actual race). The way things were going, I was about to start questioning why we rank Alonso higher than Button, but later Button crashed into the back of Maldonado's car. Unusually, Maldonado was actually a victim in this incident. In the end, it's surprising to see how once mighty Lotus is now struggling against the backmarker McLaren, even after switching to the dominant Mercedes engine.
