I don't normally get excited about 6th place but, YES, YES, YES, finally on the board!

Over all a good race, some really great battles in the opening laps. I don't remember seeing cars running in groups like that in a while. Glad to see no funky weather effecting the out caom of the race. Button finally gets the checkered under green flag running.

Also, Ferrari will make a play for Alonso before Vettel IMO. In the meantime both Kimi and Felipe will be there through 2010. They're not going anywhere...

winning is one thing tripling your pay is another, plus i wouldn't expect Ferrari or MM to be down for long

Webber didn't help me to much ether, at least both my other pics scored me points.

Yeah the pole should be SV instead of "someone else" but WSB had to step in and remove the old one last time. He's said it was a pain to deal with....

Easy to add one option, hard to completely redo a poll.

What do you guys think about Prodrive bringing back an Aston team for 2010?

I bring it on... David Richards know what he is doing in F1 and I think any team ran by him would have a decent amount of success. I think the more cars on the grid the better for the sport, hard to argue with that.

I just saw this...

Now I just read that it won't go into effect unless new evidence comes into play or the team has another breach in sporting code.

Agreed. It is very refreshing to see that Ferrari and McLaren are not dominating the grid this year.
