I liked seeing the teams all sharing a cuppa and a biscuit on the grid under umberellas ellas ellas...
Drive of the day goes to Nick Heidfeld who managed to steer his badly damaged car into a run-off area at turn 3 before flicking it around safely behind a safety barrier. Class.
It's such a mess because I was recording it to watch after my little one had gone to bed.
After 25 laps, most of which were held under the safety car, the race was red flagged. By the time they got going again, the GP was being broadcast on BBC2. So, 20 minutes of racing lost before I press record on the correct channel.
Did I mention that it was raining?
Suddenly fast forward and the track is drying on the racing line. Lots of pitstops. In fact, because of the rain coming and going like it did, drivers were coming in left, right and centre. And then going.
Jenson did a pretty good job of unintentionally dispatching two rivals, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
And then, because the race over-ran the TV schedule (again), my recorder stopped recording (again, again). I didn't notice until I'd missed another dozen laps.
Considering all this and that more time was spent under safety car conditions than was actually spent racing, I didn't get to enjoy the Canadian Grand Prix. Pity, because it looked like a fantastic win for Jenson Button.
