F1 Japan

Just watched my recording of today’s race and boy was I impressed by the bravery of the drivers, it was a wet race and started under the safety car for the first 19 laps. The amounts of spray pluming off the back of the cars on the long shots looked like mini waterfalls but the in car shots were mind blowing.

Following someone there was no way that they could see where they were going, just a blur/mist ahead of them with the very occasional sighting of a fuzzy red rear light - but if you could see that then they were probably running too close.

Great win for Hamilton, but the Renault/Ferrari tussle for 2nd place over the last few laps was spellbinding and the last lap antics of the other Ferrari and the BMW could only be described as breathtaking. On the last few corners they were banging wheels fighting it out for sixth place - looked at times as though they were both going to come off the track. In they end after parking up they shook hands, just another day at the office.
