10 years since this classic race. Click "Watch on YouTube":
Just as I'd forgotten those cars...
Besides the ugly stepped noses they weren't too bad for racing.
I still marvel at this race. How was Williams able to be so fast on this day and hardly any others for years before and years after?
How was Pastor Maldonado able to keep it on the road without a crash?
Also forgot how good the Sauber was that year. Kobiashi was the man at the time! (I used to call him HotDogs as he shares a name with the Hot Dog eating champ.)

Rewatching it I exclaimed "Hotdogs!" more than once.

Some say this was due to the operating window of temp vs. tyre deg being so extremely narrow (and also not understood at all by teams) that who could make the tyres work and who couldn't at any given race weekend was a total lottery.
Conspiracy theorists say Pirelli purposely gave out different compounds to each team at each race and this was the real Pirelli lottery.
