:stoned The F1 race was ball bouncingly fun

Anyone watched it? Man what a race, lots of drama and excitement and self-ownage, it had a bit of everything...

A wet track start with some rain caused alot of silly spins
Raikkonen who was leading smashed himself into Liuzzi and out came the safety car
Couple drivers changed to dry tyres midrace but owned themselves
Alonso could have the win but the right rear wheel screw came off after changing to dry tyres wich sent him flying to the tyrewall
After everyone had changed to dry tyres, Schumacher tried to hold on to his intermediate tyres and defend his position until the tyres turned into slicks followed by steering failure and retirement
Jenson Button took the win, his 1st ever win in over 100 GP's
And it was the 1st win for the Honda team in over 30 years
As if all this wasn't enough, there was alot of mid turn wheel-to-wheel close action with some touches and close shaves.

Wish all races were like this one, real edge of the seat stuff.
