I'd like to see multiple tire manufacturers. The Pirellis suck! I love street Pirellis but these F1 compounds just SUCK! I'd also like to see DRS everywhere. It will reduce passing but it'd be interesting to see how drivers use it. It thought it interesting the comment about Vettel using it mid-corner. Major cohones.

Yes DRS is an artificial manipulation, but It's kept me (a marginal F1 fan) actually interested in the race. I found it sillly in the past when a car that was 2 seconds a lap faster than the car in front was unable to get around the car. The previous F1 cars were more like a soccer defender who was allowed to just grab onto the jersey of any faster/more skilled player. You just couldn't get by, even if you were faster.

Wonder where Button will end up after the stewards' investigation.

That race turned out much better than I expected, given the rain.
Would've been cool to see MS on the podium. He did try hard, but he just ran out of car. The Red Bulls are far better machines. I damn near peed myself when Vettel went wide. Holy cow!

It's great to see the races come down to really good battles at the end. Not just someone checking out. The positive about DRS is it makes it more challenging for the lead driver making him have to work until the checker. Button was picking up time on Vettel every lap it seemed because he was able to use the DRS catching cars. So, effectively gaining 12mph in two sections of the track! Lap times reflected it.
Negative was, Michael was a sitting duck......really hope to see him on the podium this season...
