Awesome finish for Leh on his first time out! Here's to many more podiums at LeMans.

Great race! Tight racing, some great passes [and attempted passes] and a terrific strategic battle with tire selection. One thing is certain with F1: Its easy for a team to look bad with hindsight when their calls are rehashed after the race, but its rare for a team to look really clever. Have to hand it to McLearen for their call of tires, and tire changes. They played the race perfectly for a 1-2 finish.
Other high points for me:
- Great starts from most, but Massa really screwed up
- terrific pace from the front four in the first stint
- Seeing Alguersuari put a pass on Schumi was brilliant
- LH & Alonso wheel to wheel down the pit lane and blend line
- LH passing Alonso, JB passing Alonso

Have to wonder what's up with the reliabilty of Vettel's car, given Webber's appears rock solid.

Lewis, I'm with you on the DVR of Quali. A classic Fox f'wit call to pre-empt quali for Nascar. Sux.

Um, this is the wrong thread to be posting F1 crap!

I am glad Prosche won the GT2 class. They were not as fast as the corvette and the risi ferrari though from a lap time prospective.
What will make the GT3 RSR take the fight to the corvettes in terms of lap times?
