"Interlagos - Wow" Topic

Not to tread on the 'well done Button' thread, but what a race! All the incident, Button's charge, pit lane excitement, and lots of overtaking duels- too many F1 races are decided by grid order/pitstops

Glad my wife put this on the DVR for me. It was quite a race.

Yes, an absolute blinder – bit of a dull first lap, but it picked up after that…. ;-) My drives of the day were Button, for an aggressive overtaking drive that meant he earned the title rather than just having it land in his lap, and Kobayashi, who was a little too aggressive defending his line at times, but gave an awesome drive for a man in his first ever grand prix.

Oh, full respect to the Brawn team for helping out Heikki, when his McLaren, complete with fuel hose attached, stopped outside their pit!
Great race, Button was a Banzai-overtaking monster! And lets not forget Hamilton, back of the grid to 3rd, Button, likewise, and Vettel as well, top driving all round.

Good point on the Brawn mechanics – they were very quick off the mark both with the extinguishers if needed and getting the fuel hose off so Kovalainen could get back out. I also think it's testimony to the general safety levels in the sport that an incident like that was spectacular but caused no injuries, and even left both cars still racing – in days gone by things would've been a lot worse.
