I watched the race after the fact (with a few WT101s in hand) but I actually thought it was one of the best races this year. They didn't focus on #1 in the coverage since Max was way ahead but it really showed the better battles in the mid pack this year.
Sucks about the penalties given the off and on application this year but I would rather it not become a "move" to push driver's off track even if the British commentators like it when it helps their boys. If you're ahead into the corner on the line it's yours. If you're side by side and don't let up at all then I see it as a push. All that said, I wish they didn't have gravel right over the curbs so there was less impact on those honest competitive racing pushes.
