what the heck happened to Hamilton?, he was 2nd when i was draged away from the race!
 
I don't know that Lewis blew his tire so much as the entire wheel just cut through and came undone. thankfully the tethers did their job. Tire did blow too. Race needed rain. :icon_lol:

Poor Alonso

Can you imagine his feelings when he drove around the last lap in third place, and came upon his great mate Hamilton's 2nd-placed McLaren parked in the tyre wall!

Great drive by Webber, that makes 10 pole sitters winning this race.
I find running the playback recording at 30x is too fast, the titles aren't readable.
12x is good, gets you through the race in as long as it takes to eat a bowl of breakfast cereal.

The practice days' commentary chatter is great though, provides lots of insights into this high-tech circus.

Edit: Lewis is hard on tyres...reading the post-race Q&A a moment ago:
"It was my fourth tyre blow-out in my Formula One career so far - more than other drivers in their whole lifetime! "

He really knows nothing of Formula 1 history!!!

An aside:Those 'Cosworth' engines are not very impressive, despite Rosberg being stuck behind Hulkenberg for some time it was aerodynamic turbulence rather than power that caused him grief.
With each passing event I think USF1 are probably happy to be out of it.
IIRC the last time a Cosworth won an F1 race would have been 1999.
