Well that race was astonishing! Sebastian Vettel in a Toro Rosso scored his first maiden victory, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in cheering him onto the finish. Let’s hope we all see more wins out of this driver in the future.
One thing that did amuse me, was the team’s weather forecasts. Several times, if you watched the race, you heard over the team radio things like “Rain in 5 minutes” or “It’s going to rain in 3 laps”
Except it didn’t rain. You would think the teams with a bigger budget that the Met Office, would get better weather forecasts in…Unless it’s a sneaky tactic by the teams to force drivers onto the wrong tyres.
Anyway onto the FF1GP results, good news, no stupid post-race stewards decisions to deal with this week, so the Monza results are final.
And for those wanting to know about the Spa results, they are still provisional depending on the appeal at the FIA in Paris on Monday 20th September. As soon as I know, the results will be updated here. However judging from the news over the week, I’m not convinced that McLaren will win their appeal, but maybe the punishment will be changed.
The next race is a special one, it’s the first F1 night race in Singapore, until then see you then.
