    Great stuff that.

    One wrong move and your history, just shows just how tricky it is to overtake.

    Massa did well with some late braking to hold Button up.

    Jenson drifted to his left no doubt with Alonso in his mind/mirrors, but that opened up a whole can of worms for him; probably would have taken third place.

    I like the camera shot from the side that shows driver's helmet too. Alonso had it last year. You can really see the effect of G-force on the drivers.

    Yeah it is amazing how much "parity" there is at the start. As you said, one wide turn or off into the grass a bit and you lose some serious position. Really puts a lot of pressure to qualify well.

    They aren't 12s but they'll be better than turbo 4s.

    F1 is such a terrifyingly quick business. Alonso is a magician. Thanks for posting.

    It's obvious from the vid (and from watching practice and quali) that Alonso was working REAL hard to keep that car in check. The Ferraris handled like crap so let's hope warmer temps in Malaysia help their tyre temp issues...

    To me it's the best sounding engine, period. A matter of personal preference buddy, just like blondes vs brunettes :).
