I understand there was a verbal dispute between two Ferrari drivers as one disobeyed orders from the pits, Jaguar broke down and Hamilton got an advantage and took it. Finish was pretty close. These F-1 cars are so close in performance and the drivers are given specific orders on who places where, if there are no break downs the race is pre planned, those that break the rules, so to speak, have a better chance of being up front at the finish, to me F-1 racing is boring because mainly, the owners rule the race. :rolleyes2:

To see a pit crew swap all four corners in 2.3 seconds is impressive. Not much of an argument that money rules (and wins). Team strategy plays a big part in these races as well. In a highly competitive sport, that puts a team manager in the catbird seat in THE most technical, cutting edge level of auto racing. Certainly it's changed over the years and i'm not saying it's better, just that it can be appreciated for what it is.

And the lead (Vettel) Ferrari driver's horse threw a shoe while leading, so there's always mechanical failure as a possibility as well.
