Wow what a race, I nearly turned off after Jenson and Lewis went out on the first lap but I'm glad I didn't.

I'm not a big Giancarlo Fisichella fan but I was on the edge of my seat watching him stick with Kimi Raikkonen for most of the race, it's just a shame he didn’t have one more laps worth of fuel to pass him on the last pit stops because the Ferrari with its KERS was impossible to pass on the track and it was clear to see the Force India car was the fast car overall.

Good race

Same here, not a fan of fisi but I was cheering him on.

Did you not think Kimi should have been penalised for making no effort to stay on the track on the first corner?

I went out about 5 laps after the safety car went in.

All the drivers I'm interested in went out. Hamilton and Button crashed, Barrichelo right down the field.

Meh.

Didn't see it, but what a great season it's been so far.
Sounds like this race shook things up a bit more as well. Nice to see the smaller teams getting further up the grid than usual.

That bit of the track never used to be kurbed off. It used to be the actual way :D

There isn't anything they can penalise him for anyway. It isn't like taking a short cut. It makes the route longer and makes his tyres dirty.

Yeah, I use that bit of the track all the time when playing Euro Touring Cars online in GRID on the PS3 :lol:

Is that track on GRID?

I have GRID on my PC and I don't recall it??!?!?

Out of interest, does anyone know ofr a decent PC racing simulator with a similar graphical quality to GRID on ultra high settings and has real world tracks (i.e. the F1 circuits etc...)?
