My DVR cut off right after Louise crossed the finish line. Boo. I need to remember to always set it to record whatever comes on after the race.

Been there before....I feel your pain. I always set the DVR to record an extra 30 minutes past the normal broadcast schedule just to ensure I don't miss any race footage. Doing so certainly paid off today - the safety cars definately added some time. Be sure to do it for Suzuka next weekend....Japan's unpredictable weather could make it an interesting race.

Crucial point: If Button's result at Japan yields 5 or more points over Barichello's result, Button will claim the Driver's title.

Good work by Glock and Alonso. I imagine Sutil will get a grid penalty next time out. Bonehead move of him to pull out into traffic.

So, sounds like these seats are set so far:

Ferrari
Massa, Alonso

McMerc
Hamilton, Kimi

Renault
Kubica, ???

Brawn
Rosberg, Button (??)

Red Bull
Vettel, Webber

Beyond that, sounds like it is a cluster f**k . . . .

if not for that drive through i think vettel could of won.

bad driving on rubins part, lost some ground to button.... lame

[Jon325i]

Overall a very good race. Glock was consistant and pretty much error-free. An excellent drive for him.

Heidfeld was taken out by a spinning Sutil

Oh, now I know. I missed that part. Thanks.

Good race, but caught the middle of it. Hamilton walked away from everyone taking 1st followed by Glock and Alonso. Vettel, Button, Barrichello, Kovalainen and Kubica round out the point spots in that order. Heidefeld DNF'd by what I heard was a gearbox issue.

I hope the race tomorrow is interesting, Qualy was so so.

really? you didn't think the qualy was interesting? Im now starting to pull for Rubens so it was all well till he had his moment with the wall. as for Nico and Sebastian getting back up there at the top... I thought it was a eventful qualy and cant wait to see the drama that unfolds tomorrow.

not to mention the fact that there was construction work being performed right next door, bringing dust and dirt on the track.

i was wondering why they mentioned button was complaining about the construction.

[E-Thirty]

It was mentioned that the track surface was cleaned last year as apposed to this year, not to mention the fact that there was construction work being performed right next door, bringing dust and dirt on the track.

I noticed the bumpy behavior of the cars too. And to think the guys on Speed said some portions of the track had been repaved :!:

I'd hate to see how the Singaporians define "rough road".

Bumpier than Sebring, I think . . . .

What a crappy surface.
