Great race!
Watching the start in slo-mo, I'd put the blame on Vettel. He was on the inside line, but I don't think he slowed quite enough and he came away form the apex. If he had held the same line as Hamilton, there would have been room, unless Rosberg turned in further. Which he may have.
To bad Button lost out on the safety car, but it is nice to see them solidly in the second tier group, considering where they were last year.
I don't feel Rosberg's punishment is enough for that kind of move, because in the end, he still came out ahead. I'd think a place penalty would be more justified. I also think that's major a$$hole driving on his part, and he's done it a few times this year.
Gotta feel bad for Hamilton, he had a great weekend. He earned the win. Obviously the broadcast is going to favour him, they also single out Palmer and Button all the time. It's a British broadcast, they are going to lean towards their drivers. Why the surprise?
Now, to technical issues...WTF is going on with TSN? For some reason qualifying showed up on Sunday in the guide, not Saturday, so I had to torrent it yesterday. What recorded today as "qualifying" was the race, but with big gaps. Once I realized they missed 10 laps, I switched to the other recording. Then, all but one of the commercials were still full screen, not the (admittedly horrible) PIP. On the plus side, the audio delay has been cut from about 1.5seconds to 0.5 seconds.
I'm almost at the point of saying screw it, an downloading it and watching it totally commercial free, since TSN can't get their crap together, and finding out as I sit down to enjoy it is annoying. Better to assume it is going to be wrong and torrent it ahead of time.
