One hell of a race though. I wanted to see Hamilton pass Weber so bad. How the hell was Kimi passing people in the last couple laps? He was going around them like they were lap traffic.
Much better.

But yeah, it was a good pretty good race.

I am satisfied as long as Vet or Kimi win.

They are reporting that suspension failure is the reason why Massa's car crashed.

It was nice to see them near the top for a second or two, it has to help the morale of the team.

I want Williams to make a huge comeback. They need it.

You'll have a blast. I was there last year and the facilities weren't totally built yet. Did you get general admission or seats? Where are you staying?

I was at Turn 9 Bleachers and if I was to do it again, I would sit there again. You're able to see them come down T9 and get setup for the pass down the long straight plus the sun is behind you for the race. Like everyone always say, the braking is what amazes. We were hanging out by Turn 11 during practice. Through a small gap we were only able to see the 100m board. Cars were going past that before they got on the brakes for T11. My mind was blown watching cars go through T3-T6. I've seen other race series in person, but the amount of grip and braking a Formula 1 car has is just different. Hell even HRT looks fast in person, but you are able to tell they lack a lot of cornering speed. Yea, I was quite excited. If the hotels prices weren't so expensive, I would be going again.
