A while back I shared my observation that F1 was getting more like a tired old soap everyday.
Well hell they've even got around to repeating the same storylines.
Sunday's Brazillian GP saw Heiki Kovalienen's McLaren lunge out of the pit trailing the fuel hose spewing high octane fuel over the following Ferrari of Kimi Raikonnen, which was promptly but briefly engulfed in flames.
Flambeed Finn, anyone?
The start was as action packed as any we have seen in a long while and for once there was no need of a swift shower of rain to perk things up.
In the first ten laps there were more overtaking manoeuvres than we have seen in the previous ten races put together, most of them pulled off by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, Hamilton finishing 3rd from a bottom five start and Button driving superbly from 14th up to 5th to take the world championship, well done that man!
It really does raise the question of why can't the powers that be see that this is what the fans want, and those not that interested would probably enjoy it more too.
Still I suppose it's F1 science.
