Quite a spectacle. Not sure I can call it a race. More like Russian Roulette and Demolition Derby. Spectacular crashes - Button spearing the wall, the Weber and Alonzo disintegrations, and the parking lot where M. Schumacher went off. He was lucky to miss the front-end loader that was removing the prior parkees. Feel sorry for Fisicella, Barrichello and Weber. We certainly are getting off to an interesting start this season. Nice to see McLaren, Jaguar and Renault doing better, even if I am rooting for Ferrari. Dunno about why you roll the race two laps back for a red flag but maybe that's to prevent the guy who caused the race stop to become the winner, if he were the leader.

Oh, and does anyone know more about the safety car and its driver? Very impressive, to haul a$$ like that around a very wet track for lap after lap, without losing it. Ever see the lap times for the safety car? How fast do you think that Merc sedan is, compared to some of the board members' track cars (like BB2, etc)?
