Agreed. Not sure what happened with Massa.....it looked like a misjudging of the car in front, or did Perez lift/brake? Hard to tell in the re-play, but Massa was suddenly into the back of Perez's car. And Vettel.....he just got lucky neither car collected him!

As for Hamilton, I think he could've won it if his car held up. He was setting a very good pace. What I also found interesting was how his cars' fuel consumption was lower than Nico's. Clearly different driving styles at work.

Looking forward to this circus returning to the A1 ring in a couple weeks. Nice challenge for good aero set up with those long straights and fast corners.

So could have Nico. Dan would not have had a chance had the Merc been running properly. RBR got really lucky with their grid finishes this week.

I was legitimately quite upset/scared when I saw Massa's hit. He did hit some sort of soft barrier but he's not exactly young anymore and hasn't had the best luck with the whole breaking his skull thing in the past...very glad to hear he's OK.

I thought Perez had the drive of the day up until the last lap. Why did Massa keep trying to go around vettel on the outside? It was driving me bonkers. Vettel schooled massa on how to pass with his dive way inside of Perez.

Shame for Williams racing. They were staring at a podium for the last 5 laps. Hamilton has his work cutout now. He is lucky Brawn is not running it still as he would clearly be a number 2 at this point. Rosberg did a great job of just nursing the car home and collecting points.

Super excited to see the return of a classic style circuit in the A1 ring. Canada helped my try to sway some none F1 guys I know to the sport. Wish Spa was on NBC as I think they would be hooked if it were a wet/dry race, but the A1 is always a crap shoot as well with weather.

And Kimi wtf.

Not good news for RBR...

Anyone else read the Kimi retirement speculation? I had been calling this for a minute now.

Not this season but perhaps after the 2015 season if things don't improve for him.
