Don't the lights at the end of the pit lane flash blue to warn people exiting there is a car approaching down the straight?
I still don't think SB did any thing wrong though & messa should have waited for an easier chance to pass.

Everyone wants to talk about three incidents, penalties, unfairness of FIA and no-one wants to cover the rest of the race... and racing.
Well, Räikkönen's highly-praised race pace wasn't quite visible today. I don't know, how much did Turn1 affect his performance, but I do think the lower temperatures today hindered Ferrari's and Toyota's pace a bit. Although I think with a Ferrari it still could have been possible to challenge Alonso more. After qualifying I hoped Toyotas could give some competition to Alonso and Kubica and fight for podium, but today's cooler conditions made the task a bit more difficult for Jarno. So overall I'm quite satisfied with P5.
A shame Sutil retired. He managed to make most out of the chaos in Turn1 and rose into Top10, so it would have been exciting to see, where he could have ended.
Red Bull is a bit thought-provoking . They complain about the engine, but Renault has found giant steps in their performance, showing that engine may not be the that bad at all. On the other hand Toro Rosso with the same chassis has had some clearly better performances recently. It looks like Red Bull has managed to make quite a competitive chassis, but obviously not a top drawer (both STR and RB are losing quite clearly to their engine supplier) plus I'm wondering whether Red Bull Racing hasn't managed to sort out the car as well as Toro Rosso, which seems strange especially as A-team should be in better position in this area. The design team of RB has done a decent job, but what about the level of engineers at the A-team?
And no pitstop blunders by Honda and their new lights system. :

Unfortunately I can't comment on the start much because ITV kept going on about the incidents! I did hear that Button had got "upto around 10th place" but it appears that he didn't stay there, and that was pretty much it commentary-wise..
Once again Raikkonen seemed to be asleep until he was coming in to pit for the second time, and well done to Kubica for keeping him behind. I really can't figure out what's wrong with Raikkonen, all we know now is that he won't be #1 next year.
Red Bull and Honda appear to have given up on this year and are looking forward to 2009, but Honda said that in 2008 and it didn't exactly help them a lot! I can't see Alonso leaving Renault now they've made a massive improvement, and he seems happy there, so I suppose Honda are stuck with Button + Barrichello again?
Finally - green stripes on the tyres? What a rubbish idea! I couldn't tell the difference between hard and soft tires. Thank goodness they're gone next year

Apparently most of the improvements on the R28 come from tinkering with the front and rear suspension, plus a bit from the new front wing, plus some new frog oils giving the engine 5-6 more donkeys.
United in diversity !!!
