    How many safety cars were there?

    I had to do a 24hr shift over the weekend, getting home just in time to watch the GP, but was half asleep.
    So I was confused when in a post race interview with Jenson Button on the BBC, he was asked about the two safety cars. He looked puzzeled and said "were their 2 safety cars?" Now I've watched the replay, but I can't see it, anyone else? or am I just going mad

    This is a trick question, right?? OK, I'll try "three", a Merc, a Toyota and a Datsun.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    Apparently Renault had scheduled 2 in the pre-race briefing but hadn't realised Piquet wasn't driving for them any more.

    seriously though, I was confused by the interview, i only ever saw 1 safety car. Button is off the hook!
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    One real safety car, one "phantom" safety car. Several teams pitted to cover themselves in case of a safety car after Webber's crash, but it didn't appear.

    Or the smart-arse answer: if it had appeared for the second time it would still have been the same safety car, so it's one anyway
