What an incredible race. Started by an incredible practice then qualifying and topped off by this. I was glued to the TV set as never before. The start wasn't as good because Lewis started 18th and Heikki was taken out at the first turn. That first turn is so dangerous, everybody knew it was gonna happen. Poor Heikki.
The Brawn of Jenson was straight out of the grid like a bat out of hell. Not much to shout about for Rubens though except maybe he was too aggresive (or in a rush) at turn 1 and caused that accident which took out Heikki..and Webber. Surprisingly the car was quite tough as he went on to finish second with a couple more other run ins with a few other cars. I'm surprised there was no penalty or reprimand or fine or anything.
Lewis was attacking like mad as expected. I already knew he would do that as I've seen him before being relegated to the back and fighting his way up. It was incredible watching him lining cars up and overtaking them. That KERS has it's uses during the race as one can see him clearly using it coming out of corners and overtaking. That is what a champion is made of.
Before this race, a lot of people said that Lewis had a good car for the last 2 years, that's why he found it easy. Well, this years' car suck but he still managed to do what he did today. So suck it all up to all the doubters.
My only regret was towards the end when Kubica was somehow out of his mind and caused the crash with Vettel. i was looking forward to Vettel on the podium. And it didn't help to see my favourite brand - BMW - end up with no points. Mario Theissen needs to have a chat with Kubica.
All in all, a great race. I'm so looking forward to Sepang next week.
