I love when F1 does back-to-back races. And the fact, that this is a night race makes it even more interesting.

Some good choices in there but I'd have put 2000 German GP in place of one of those races (not sure which). The mixed conditions which allowed Barrichello to win dominated the headlines, but Button also stayed out on slicks and despite starting 16th was a top 6 contender from early on. He comprehensively outraced Ralf Schumacher and finished 4th, a little over 1 second off a podium spot (Coulthard, who had pitted for wets). A very competent and mature performance for a rookie in only his 11th F1 race.

Of course Perez is bored, I would be too if I wasn't driving in the GP I was supposed to. Watching it on TV just isn't the same.

A quick correction for you...

Button didn't inherit the lead at the 2006 Hungarian GP when Alonso's wheel nut came off, he'd already overtaken Alonso through the pit stops.

Ah thanks, not sure why I thought Alonso was still leading.
