Incredible!

My driver of the day is probably in a BMW. Well done for Coulthard too.

I don't understand the pitlane accident, why did Lewis come so fast? :(
A bit disappointed in Heikki as well. Vettel is obviously having a great time in the new Toro Rosso, but how did the McLaren remain behind?

Loved the action. Massa is it :)
