Just got done watching it as well. What was up with multiple teams not knowing how to pit? To be honest not that great of a race, yes there were safety cars and a red flag, but not much excitement otherwise. The best pass was ham over msc. Had the last 10 been a race to the finish with the different strategies culminating for some good driving that would have added. Other races have been much more exciting for sure.
Can't wait for montreal.

Great race for Vettel. I think at the end there he was hanging back to allow the tires to take him to the end. If the race continued green I bet there was more than a second still in that car to ensure him the win...

If the last 5 laps could have been a drag race it would have been epic.

Other than that, it was a pretty stale race with a lot of stupid mistakes by the top guys.

The Petrov drama at the end did not add to the race one bit.

Another Red Bull win is all I see.

From what I've read, Horner says that Vettel's going onto the soft tires was an accident due to a lack of radio communications between the engineers and the pit crew...they didn't plan on trying to last 62 laps on the soft tires, but after the mishap Vettel took control of the situation and was determined to do his best to make them last.
