Fantastic race.
Excellent job by Fisi, and once again the title contenders looking like a joke.
Fantastic to see Kimi winning, and not to be considered too crazy, but 2007 kimi made up 30 points in 3 races, he's only 38 behind with 5 to go. Few more like today... Okay maybe thats a bit too optimistic. Grin

Jenson is the luckiest man alive, once again. That could have been much much worse.

You must have been wearing your Ferrari blinkered goggles Craig... it was hardly a great race.

No significant overtaking and Kimi only won because of his KERS.

A boring race in my opinion.

Perhaps, but tell me for instance as a lewis fan his win at hungary wasn't exciting. Yet that wasn't a brilliiant race, same goes for a fair few of Jensons wins once the shock factor wore off it became a 2004 like snooze fest.
I thought from a tactical viewpoint it was fascinating. Could Fisi go the extra lap he needed to have the clear air to pass. Would Vettel have enough pace to make it difficult.
Yes KERS has given him the advantage but thats the point of it. Both Ferrari and Mclaren have gone through a lot of pains and problems getting it to work properly, but now it has, its helped deliver victorys to both Lewis in Hungary and now Kimi in Spa. The last few races the FOTA teams have gone from a "we will ban it next year" to Red bull, Brawn, FI and so on all saying we'll have to run it. I hate the thought that KERS has given an artificial victory. No it hasn't, it was an option to give a car speed in return for the side track of developing it. I cant believe for one second, Mclaren and Ferrari would have been this far back had they not gone with the idea. So its finally paying off Smiley
