*SPOILER WARNING* or maybe not

Got up and watched the race this morning.

Hamilton claims that he was told to hide certain things from the stewarts which in turn made him lie. I am guessing by him driving today that they decided he was telling the truth about having to mislead them.

I noticed when it rained Hamilton did not have as good of a handle on the car as he did before.

I agree that Kimi's team choice of full wets before the rain was even appearant was a failure.

It was fun to watch the teams switch from soft to full to intermediate. It was anybody's guess as some turns were under water, the pit was dry and other parts had a slight amount of rain on them.

After all that swtiching in the end the race had to be called early due to the large amount of rain and unknown amount to come.

Good wheel to wheel action. I enjoyed the race. Looks like Button is the man to watch this year.

Congrats to BMW as well.

I was listening to the chatter about the F1 having to much rule in the race and thought about how many complain about the SCCA in the same way, especially the power of the stewarts.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
