Didn't know there's a "job" like that.
Top teams rock.
BBC commentator's referred to him as a senior member of Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA).
Quote from Wikipedia:
Currently there are three directors of GPDA, one of whom is the chairman. Since 2008, Pedro de la Rosa has been the chairman,[5] with Mark Webber and Fernando Alonso as the other directors.[6]
Does anyone have a highlights link?
Homepage of BBC Sport has a highlights clip.
Well it would seem my prediction about BrawnGP and McLarens performance in the wet was pretty much accurate. Brawns seemed to cope well and the McLaren was even worse than it was in the dry.
Amazing race though, what a call by Glock to take a risk on Inters. What a screw up by Ferrari putting Kimmi on full wets. Hamilton desperately trying to keep Webber behind him in vain, (If you wanted proof of the advantage of KERS cars over faster lapping but non-KERS cars you just had it).
Great race, such a shame it was so short.
Edited to add - Is it just me or do the Brawns have issues with launching? First Barrichello at race start in Australia, then a suspicion of a problem with Button in Malaysia? plus Barrichello seemingly having problems pulling away from a pit stop. All very odd.
Also, I don't believe we've seen Ferraris true race pace yet. Kimmi was pretty competitive until the stupid tyre choice error.

Where?
All I can see is the press conference and the red flag clip
EDIT: Nvm, found it, was looking at the wrong page (F1 home page)...why don't they update it?
So bizarre yet so awesome.
Driver of the day? Nick Heidfield!!!
1 stop anybody?
1 stop anybody?
More like pit stop strategy of the day than driver of the day. And there's competition for him in that category as well from Timo Glock.
He also wouldn't have finished at all if the race had been restarted.

"I dunno lol. Wats for dinner? Ice cream? great!"
Top marks to that shot of Kimi in the Ferrari garage in shorts and a t-shirt whilst all the other drivers were getting saturated on the grid. When he stood there with his magnum and can of coke, the funnyest moment I have ever seen in F1. Legend!
Sucks that the race was rained out. I could've sworn there was actually some passing at this race!
They would've been allowed to change the tyres, as was pointed out by McLaren over comm I think, but what do they know about rules...
Do you mean Heidfeld?
That wouldn't have helped him anyway since his car was parked at the side of the track after he spun and the electronics to prevent stalling stopped working or something like that. That's what I meant.
Button did a great job again. Kept out of trouble and was always quickest when on the right tyre.
A shame that he couldn't profit fully from it.

Ferrari destroyed Kimis race
At least he got to eat ice cream so he should be thankful!
That was the Alonso train. Seriously though, he put up a good fight.
lol!
