boring procession from start to finish enlivened a little by an occasional
crash but this year the race was actually quite exciting until the stewards
managed to turn it into a non-event when the race was restarted.
OK, I can see that stopping the race after Petrov crashed was the right
option & I would have been only mildly disappointed had it ended at that
point however when it was announced that the race was going to be restarted
to complete the last six laps I thought we could be in for an exciting
finish with Button on his fresh tyres right on the tail of Vetal and Alonzo
whose tyres were much older and about to pack in completely. The race was
then ruined as they allowed a change of tyres before the restart which
effectively cancelled out the race strategy differences chosen by the teams
during the rest of the race and just left us a six lap procession of evenly
matched cars and drivers all on new rubber.
Why did they bother.
