Re: F1 2008

I would have thought that with no less than 5 Germans in the field + 2 major German manufacturers - the crowd would have been up not down. The crowd did not appear so noisy and demonstrative as is usual. That's strange considering that it appears to be the reverse of what happened in Britain. Surely it is too early for a "Hamilton Effect" but I do agree, Massa's feeble defence of his second place seemed more worthy of a rookie than a title prospect (I notice that NP jr "defended" in exactly the same way and he is a, er, rookie yes?)

The Piquets are not my favourites by a long way but I should not visit the father's past sins on the son but what an amazing result for Renault. Clearly a lot of teams missed that strategy completely...

The last 2 races have certainly rekindled my interest and not just because of the winners but it did take take rain and a safety car to generate that excitement....
