Yeah, so were you in Canada 2011 then.
Just what I was about to say. This coming from Button is kind of ironic....

Nico Rosberg: "Narain said that his steering broke so he couldn't steer, went on the brakes and I didn't expect him to do that"

You can tell that's going to be a very popular victory. French TV commenter said during the race that he was definitely supporting Kimi to win it, as any criticism towards him inevitably sparked a bunch of protest letters from legions of furious fangirls. :lol:

Wow!

What an incredible race. One of the best dry races I've ever seen :)

Good job by Kimi, Fernando and Seb! 10 Points, 2 races, hopefully Alonso wins in Austin and we'll have a dramatic last race for the championship.

Too bad Schumi got a puncture, would've been 7th or 8th place I think.

Narain had a hydraulic problem meaning he couldn't steer. That's why he lifted and couldn't move off the racing line.

Schumacher: “Unfortunately we have to say that again we suffered bad luck today. Due to the puncture I had to do another pit stop very late in the race which lost me a points scoring position. Of course this is part of the game and you cannot do anything about it but it was a real pity as we had reasonable pace and could have taken some points. Towards the end of the race I was hoping to close the gap to the top ten, and we were making good progress, but it just didn’t work out.”
