Nürburgring, the European Grand Prix is over.
Alonso, Massa and Webber finished the race but if u watched the race. This was the most chaotic race I ever watched. And in F1 if the race is chaotic it means a test for not only the best of the car and team but for the strategy. The ability to take risk and it is one of this kind of race where the experience matters.
There were few turning moments of the race and legendary drivers and teams moments:
a) After the qualifying crash Hamilton was back on track racing - in the first part before the race came to the start had to be craned back on track and still finished the race. And boy those two overtake maneuvers against Geancarlo - you are too good to be called a rookie now. You are the wonder boy and your time will come just wait and be patient.
b) Safety Car and Race Restart - what do you do when it doesn't rain - there are heavy rains and a hailstorm. You cannot do anything really. Everybody crashes. F1 cars are not made to sustain in this kind of weather. Excellent decisions by the F1 managers - great going.
We like speed but not at the cost of people getting hurt and injured.
c) The Ferrari Reliability problem sent Räikkönen packing. In case Ferrari wants to claim back the status quo they need to work on reliability. Would it be wrong to say that somebody has bought his luck to Ferrari !!`
c) Massa you are a brilliant driver. Thats all I will say. But, Alonso you are a bloody matador. You ripped part the race leader as if he is no one. Too good man. That was one of the best overtaking maneuvers. Alas, it was Massa who had to take the matador's sword.
d) Schumacher - you were really missed today. This was the race you would had produced a stunning performance. "Rain God" was there but as a delegate - handling over the award to Alonso's Engineer.
An awesome race.
Waiting for the race repeat telecast tomrrow....
