Don't worry, nothing happened, despite the frantic comments in the booth ;-)
The only impressive parts of this race were Raikonnen's bonehead move trying to get back on track at all cost, and wrecking 3 guys' race (I dislike Masa but I'm starting to feel sorry for his bad luck), and the Alonso/Vettel fight which was at least as impressive as their whining on the radio ;-)
Although in fairness, Alonso wasn't whining about the pass but about the fact Vettel put 4 wheels off track to get into DRS distance (great mirrors on the Ferrari!!), which Charlie Whiting did not pick up on. Still, no matter, I'm glad they let them dice for a change. Too many penalties in the past.
Now I'm really interested in the dynamics @ Mercedes. Can a calmer Rosberg put another nail in the excitable Hamilton coffin, or was this HAM's resurgence (admittedly he's more talented over a lap, but seems more easily rattled). I didn't think ROS had a shot, yet he impressed me of late. Let's see if he can do it again... Oh, and Valteri, please win one for Williams !!! (Gotta go get me a Martini T-shirt)
