It is a bit weird seeing the likes of Hamilton and Alonso on the podium, where you would expect them to be of course being among the best F1 drivers, but knowing that they have nothing to do with the championship this year which is busy being fought down in 4th , 5th and 6th.
A great spectacle this Singapore race, amazing to watch even if the racing today hasn’t been the closest. There was some drama with cars and cars, cars and walls, cars and hosepipes, brakes and mirrors, but Hamilton held on from pole to take a convincing win. Button holds onto vital ground, Vettel making a tiny gain, still in the game but unlikely to overhaul the Brawns now. Webber definitely out of the championship picture. Disappointment for Rosberg and Williams, athough they didn’t seem to be expecting much Rosberg looked on for a great podium finish. Glock did pretty well though to drag that Toyota up to the podium, haven’t seen too much of him for a while.
Anyway what sort of state is the sofa in now?

Blimey. So if I miss practice, qualifying AND the race, I score big on points? Clearly I know nothing about racing, even though I've been an avid fan since birth, and "winging it" is the only way to go if I want to move up the sofa. As long is it doesn't mean I have to work all race weekend every time as well!
