Another great race, and another race affected by wonderful weather!
Although some of the drivers might have been unhappy with the weather during the weekend, I can honestly say that I was really surprised by how well the guys managed to drive in the rain yesterday. It really was a wonderful show of great overtaking and great strategy, topped off with a surprise winner.
Anyway, I think everybody will congratulate Sebastian Vettel on his first victory in Formula One. I think there is much more to come from this 21-year-young kid. Just give him a better car and he will be able to fight against the strongest guys in the field, that's for sure.
In his win, the Germans got something to cheer about. When I saw him on the podium, there was definitely something in his face that reminded me of Michael Schumacher, at least in his attempt at conducting the Italian anthem.
But the best thing about this race was that the underdogs and drivers not normally good in wet conditions thrived.
I definitely saw some major improvements from Felipe Massa in the rain. If he doesn't win the title this year, he´ll definitely be prepared to clinch it next year. But Lewis Hamilton was really flying. I was a bit surprised when he got stuck behind Massa, unable to put some pressure on him.
Kimi Raikkonen was decent yesterday. It was a pity that he did not get at least a point. Kovalainen was also very good in the rain during the whole weekend. I think he might be pretty happy with P2. Robert Kubica was lucky to get into the pits at the right moment and gained a huge advantage after that pit stop, which helped him secure the third spot.
Well, this season is turning into a great one. The seasons that saw Michael Schumacher dominate were incredible, but only for his fans. Formula One after his era is really interesting. And with more drivers' changes heading into next year, we might be in for yet another great season.
I have to admit, however, that I am really getting tired of all the changes in the rules. There doesn't seem to be any stable environment for the teams and development. It's going to be interesting seeing how KERS will affect next season.
Looking forward to Singapore.
