Great race - had me on the edge of the couch from start to finish. Good on Alonzo; proves you should never give up, anything can happen, and you never know when two faster drivers are going to blow their alternators! No idea what the betting line was - but whoever picked Alonzo, Raikkonen, and Schumacher(!) for the podium is walking away with a whole pocketful of change.

this is some season .... I'm still pulling for Michael to shine ..... Kimi's return to F1 is amazing ... you don't need a liver to drive fast .... Alonso wins in Valencia ... the WWF couldn't stage it any better ... he drove a great race

Looks like there is more interesting scenery off track. Sorry for the pun, and a few comments...

1. How do headlights appear in summer? The one pic in question had to be staged.

2. Are these European women? Seems like a shocking (trend?) lack of armpit hair.

1. there are several night time races now, I suppose that explains the appearance of headlights

2. if this close shave concerns you, just wait until you see the Brazilian Gran Prix
