Do you really want to know?

McLaren hit the ECU interference button too early and HK's car got blasted by accident, cutting his fuel for a second. That was supposed to be meant for FA.

I was impressed with Bourdais also.. was wondering how champ car skills would translate into F1 - looked very good - he was very close to being in the running for some serious points. They must have been so pissed to have that failure with 2 freaking laps to go!

Terrible race for Ferrari - too many mistakes by both drivers and the car was not solid.

BTW - anyone else notice that RB was not DQ for exiting the pits when on a red light? He only got a stop and go penalty. Last year FM and Fisi were DQed for doing the same thing. Another example of the FIA's consistency...
