After watching for almost half a season I was thinking that Rubens Barrichello would never win another race again. Oh boy was I so wrong..... Barrichello managed to win the race after a fumbled pit stop for Lewis Hamilton at the 2nd pit stop, and Barrichello never looked like he was gonna give up that top spot on the podium. What an excellent race that is got to be said, certainly it is much more exciting than the Valencia race last year....

Overall it was McLarens' race to lose as they probably had one of the best cars during practice and qualifying sessions, but somehow managed to lose it all near the end of the race. Not sure what actually happened to them but it is a shame on what could have been a McLaren 1-2 on the podium, but unfortunately is wasn't meant to be. Also the saddest thing I have to witness is Luca Badoer's lackluster return to F1. He was slow in practice, qualifying and was absolutely horrible in the race. Well I know he hasn't raced in F1 for quite a long time (about 10 years to be exact) but still some of the mistakes he did was even far worse than an F1 rookie. But yeah, it might be a dream come true for him to race in a Ferrari, but with performances like that I don't think he will last long in that seat. Should have given the seat to Marc Gené, at least he did have some racing under his belt...

Well whatever, just have to wait and see what will happen next week when F1 moves to Spa Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix.
