My weekend involved taking the kids swimming then going shopping and getting caught in all the traffic on Saturday, then washing the car and watching the F1 on Sunday.
As for Massa - started 8 places ahead of Lewis, but only finished 1 place ahead. Doesn't look good for the Ferrari's, does it?
As for the weekend, it should be good. I can't handle a whole weekend of drinking, so we're going go karting & paintballing etc as well.
Yeah, I had money on Hamilton to get first, but because it's on a betting site that lets you take the money early (based on current odds) I won over £4 on him.
Very entertaining, though, the rain always brings out the best in the drivers. Vettel did fantastic, though, he deserved the win. Seems like a nice guy, too.
Yup, Vettel did awsomeley well. Even pulling away from Kovy in the latter stages. You have to wonder about Kovy I think, in the same machinery, he's just not getting the job done, as Lewis is.

Are you doing that matched betting thing that someone was talking about on PM?
Can be very lucrative, especially if you get into arbitrage betting too. Bought all my camera gear with it, and a new PC. Still got some left. I'm having a few weeks off at the moment, with the wedding looming and everything.

A night? That's for pansies. It's a whole weekend :-)

He finished two places and less than ten seconds behind Lewis.

Jackie Stewart mentioned in the build-up that the McLaren is a lot easier to drive in wet conditions (not forgetting that Felipe isn’t exactly a wet weather specialist).

He’s the number two driver, no matter how much Ron Dennis likes to deny it. I think he is more of a wheel to wheel racer, than someone with out right pace, although as he’s normally fuelled heavier than Lewis in quail, so it’s sometimes a little hard to tell.

I’ve been following this guy for a few years now, and always knew in levelling conditions he would come out on top. It was a shame the commentary again mainly focused on Lewis, yet even after some news networks reported that Hamilton finished 7th, with nothing about Vettel becoming the youngest ever Formula one GP winner!
