Yes, I enjoyed it, but that would fit easily on the highlights reel! Along with Kimi passing Seb and pulling away even with Seb having DRS. :tongue:
(Revenge for when Kimi in the Ferrari days obediently played tail gunner for Seb at I think Hungary, even though Kimi was faster and could have passed.). :wink:

When Monday morning work starts slow, I sometimes read the race thread here at The Fastlane, which can be entertaining and informative (thank you, guys :thumbsup: ), and is faster than watching a highlights video. Else, I just read the papers, I rarely ever bother about F1 results on Sunday even when I know a race was on. Though, in the paper you have to go to page four of the sports section to find even only a 200-word report, like this morning. As a bonus, there's sometimes a 50-word report about the F2 races, something like: headline "Schumacher misses podium", then a few words about how Chin Jnr. finished ninth, and not a hint who's won :sarcasm: Motor sport is really a dead duck in the water here in Germany, worse than I ever remember going back over forty years, when we had those dreadful 2'59" "windows" on TV, and the newspaper next morning. And of course, no internet back then, so you had to wait until next month to read the magazines to really know what happened. Oh, how I dreamed about full race coverage on TV and all the news at a fingertip, and now that we have it I no longer care! :haha: :crazy:

I always watch the race. Just sometimes I am multi-tasking and not paying it much attention (for the leader solo cruise type races). But it takes precedence over other TV watching.

But there is always something entertaining for me in it. The only time I bother with highlights is if I am traveling or so busy I know I won't have any time to watch TV.

Yeah that's a good point.

Folks, please keep spoilers out of this, or at least use the spoiler tag:
