One thing I noticed in practice and quali (thanks to speed for giving us all 4 sessions for once) is how Will kept talking about how new the tires looked after a few laps.
I honestly expected someone who is notoriously easy on tires like Button or Perez to do almost the whole race distance on one set, then duck in on the 52nd or 53rd lap to satisfy the regulations. I was kinda surprised when the top runners started coming in on lap 18.
Either way, it was a great race. As much as I dislike hambone, he really did run Vettel down in fine fashion. Fun to watch, and my hat is off to him for a bit of terrific racecraft.
(Did any of you fellers who went to the race go up in that tower? Man, that is a lot of stairs going up and down!)
