In 10 years of F1 watching and attending, I found this race weekend to 
be among the most exhilarating and fun to watch.  Apart from, 'my guy' 
doing well, it was a race nearing perfection.  To me, racing
is finding that edge between aggressive pushing and making no mistakes 
which will cost a position and this weekend was near mistake free 
(with the exception of the Honda team who did nothing right).

Qualifying was a race in itself.  And then for the top 11 starting 
teams to virtually drive like a train, finishing as they 
started, with so many human elements to go wrong....I loved
it and haven't sat so glued in a long time and proud of the sport.

My wife swore off F1 when MS was forced out but has returned to
find a new hero in Massa and we really love to see him better 
his team mate.

Paucity of accidents, breakdowns, and shear stupidity - 
lots of 'mini races' at various points throughout the race.  
No domination due to tires or -clearly superior design.

I say  Keep 'Em Comin'  Bernie  Best Yet -
