Quite excited!

One of the things that I am most looking forward to during tonight's race is watching the STR's as Vettel starts in P9 and I expect him to race hard, though I'm also curious to see how the other STR Sebastian is going to fare, being he starts P17 and felt he could have done a bit better had it not been for a yellow flag at the very end of Q1. Bourdais has much more to prove in his first F1 race due to his advanced age (29) while Vettel is in a more comfortable position being only 20 and already loved around the paddock... so I expect the Champ Car Champ to be pushing really hard as well to make up some places in his debut F1 race.

I wrote the above about 8pm eastern time. Due to obligations, I never got around to posting it. And all I've got to say after seeing tonight's race is... Wow. As I've only been watching F1 like a fiend since 2003, I can't say I've ever seen a race with so many failures. So many DNF's! Just... Wow. If you can, watch this re-broadcast. It's captivating in a way that F1 shouldn't be, but still fascinating none the less.

In the end, I inadvertently called Seb Bor's climb into the points, though I didn't see it coming about like this, but I felt that Frog would finish in the points... and did he barely just!

Wow!
