DC was right, thank you Mr Tyre manufacturer!
Well, not a bad race. Well done to the winner and also well done to the 3rd place man.
Edit bit.
Oh and only 1 non finisher, but that was not the drivers fault, pit crew failed to secure his R/H rear tyre at pit stop. Didn't even get one
complete lap after pit stop. The wheel bounced well though, liuck no one got hurt.

I watched the race and enjoyed it.A shame JB didn't get a podium
spot though.
I was amazed nobody got belted by that airborne wheel.

Best F1 race for as long as I remember.

Hell yeah
That was a bit more like I remember Formula 1 used to be like, with my boyhood hero's hurtling round a track 
And by hero's I of course mean...
The High Priest of destruction
The Monza Gorilla
and
Hunt the Shunt
Great race! First I've watched from start-to-finish for a few seasons!
First I've watched (virtually) forever!
I tend to stick to Moto-GP, and more recently the WSBK...
But, very much enjoyed the F1 today...
i clicked on this thread expecting at least one whinging post about racing purity and technological meddling, when it seems, so far at least, we all enjoyed overtaking! to my mind, it could only be improved by allowing the technology to be used more enabling drivers to fight back sooner without waiting for the next "drs" zone to roll round.
Nice and close.
Interesting that the way to bring back overtaking is to introduce tyres that only last for about 60miles. It doesn't make me want to go out and
buy Pirellis though.
Brilliant race, even my Tv agreed (I'm waiting for someone to fix it, it usually only last 10 minutes before it cycles through the imputs or the menus on it's own), I managed to watch the whole coverage on it.

Maybe it is just because I've virtually never watched it, but I feel that the DRS zoning made it very, very Death Race 2000!
And a little harder to follow, but still enjoyed it...

F1 should not be down to tyres, it should be down to the driver.
Until that happens it's not racing!
But the tyres are the same for everyone?
