F1 at Monza

Pretty good race, no?
Completely surprising finish.
From a driving stand point, I thought the best moment of the race was when Weber spun, and actually kept driving the car. I couldn't see if he induced more rotation with the steering wheel or the car just kept rotating by itself. Regardless, he stayed with the car, got it straightened out and got right back to the job at hand. Stellar driving. Most drivers would just mentally collapse and push in the clutch and lock up the brakes. Truli also has exhibited this presence of mind during a spin and I've seen it keep him off the walls. Nice driving.
Hamilton is a very impressive driver and racer. He's rekindled my interest in F1. Let's see if the people running the series can bring some dicing back to the equation on a regular basis.

Rain seems to make for the most interesting racing, at least lately. I found it interesting that Hamilton could advance so many more places than Kimi. Even more impressive was the rise of Toro Rosso from the back of the grid last year to winning this year!

The rain during knock out qualifying was interesting too.
KO is sometimes the most exciting part of the weekend and rain certainly added to it.
While NASCAR is shut down in the rain a passing rain cell just makes F1 more entertaining.
I’m ready to jump off the Kimi bandwagon, Vettel is a rock star. :D
Imho I’d rather see Lewis win the championship over Phil.
