I watched it live this morning (as i always do), and it was amazing to see the tire just rip to bits, see Lewis go air born, and slam into the tire wall. Glad he's ok, but it definitely spooked him. His legs where shifting up and down in his seat after the car settled, it was very evident he was spooked.

We'll see what kind of driver Hamilton is as he tries to make up positions, this is a difficult track to overtake on so he'll have an uphill battle. It's a pity cos he was looking quick.
I expect an exciting Kimi / Alonso duel tomorrow..should be fun.

"Speed: 'STR bosses want me out'
Scott Speed says he has resigned himself to losing his Toro Rosso drive, and has slammed the team bosses for not giving him or team-mate Vitantonio Liuzzi more support.
Toro Rosso refused to confirm Speed and Liuzzi as its 2007 drivers for much of the winter as it sought guarantees over their commitment and performance.
The team has also given Champ Car star Sebastien Bourdais several tests, and has been strongly linked to BMW test driver Sebastian Vettel, who has a long-term contract with STR's parent team Red Bull.
Speed said Gerhard Berger and Franz Tost had made it clear that he wasn't wanted."

About STR - Did they really think this car is competitive? I guess we'll be seeing Speed in NASCAR huh?
Whether Bordaise will achieve any more with the Toro Rosso car is yet to be seen, F1 is a different ball-game to Champ car, although after 3 titles he does deserve a chance to show what he can do.
Did anyone see the post race "meeting" between Alonso and Massa before they took to the podium ? They were like little kids, bickering back and forth, grinning the "hahaha I won" look.
