a great race
Posted by markofthefells on April 10, 2011
another great F1 weekend from quali through to the race.
Very exciting stuff with the new technological changes. Like them or not they’re definitely mixing things up and, it seems, making more things happen – from pit stops to overtaking.
It also seems to have meant that a few spanners can be thrown into the works throughout the race – always helped by Alonso driving into the back of people, too.
I was stuck for a driver of the day, with Vettel running away with the race without even the help of KERS, Webber stuck through things despite his issues and JB and Heidfeld getting on the podium with really solid races. But my favourite had to be the Superman-impersonating “rudderless Russian” – Vitaly Petrov:
Oh you pretty Chitty Renault, Chitty Chitty Renault we love you
Roll on China. The Mclarens have closed the gap on Red Bull in Quali – now we need to see them match their pace in the race.
Thought of the day: With Renault being so successful in 2 podium finishes, where would Robert Kubica be in such a car?

on the flat grey bit, I hope!
