Buddh seems to be a good circuit. Let's hope they can make it stick, unlike some of the other Asian tracks.

Massa made a silly mistake. I am beginning to wonder whether he may have some residual periphery vision problems, especially to his left, from his big injury last year.

Hamilton seemed to hold back and play it cool as he approached two or three times. He must he having allergic reactions to Massa, and vice versa. LOL

Red Bull have a very smooth car for their boys. Congratulations to Vettel.

Yawnfest. They seriously need to shake-up the regulations in F1 because one driver winning 11 (and possibly 13) races in a season - sure he is brilliant - is just booooring.

Many people say that F1 is boring. Much has been done to loosen things up. I wonder whether some of the saloon car racing ideas such as reverse grid races might not be workable.

I do a bit of circuit racing myself, so I know how exciting it is for each driver behind the wheel, even if that does not come across on TV. Every corner needs to be finely recalculated, every twitch of the steering wheel is different and the tyres/tires are living and dying things. The fuel needs to be constantly monitored. The driver needs to work out in milliseconds what is happening on track up ahead and what would be the best decision to make as flags are being waved. You need to be spatially aware of who is coming up behind or alongside and why.

Viewed from outside the cars all look solid and predictable, but from the crew and driver point of view, nothing is guaranteed, anything could go wrong at any moment and the adrenaline is simply amazing.
