I thought the whole race weekend was great. The announcers had great side information, Hamilton ran great in early practice, great race strategies that yielded unexpected results and the weather held up. Altogether pretty cool event.
I am however tiring of all the tire talk. I wish they would make a tire that let the drivers go full noise.
The announcers tried (through technical illustration) to explain the Coander Effect as a possible reason for the different sound that Vettels car makes. They also suggested the this effect primarily creates down force around 50-60 km which may explain Vettels confidence in the car exciting corners. Earlier acceleration.
Hulkenberg rocked.
The one stat the announcers made that floored this fan of Vettel and Prost was about Alain Prost's 4 WCD. If Vettel wins his 4th this year, he will be younger than the age Prost won his first. Quite a statistic.
