The American Grand Prix. Exciting, wasn"t it? It"s been a very long time since I"ve sat watching a Grand Prix and been totally fixed from start to finish. Indeed, when was the last time we had three drivers at the front all in contention to win the race, right up to the last lap? (Admittedly, having the chance to see if Lewis can claim his 5th title added to the drama.) The track too, has a certain flow that seems to aid overtaking and out of all the current new circuits it appears to have done the best in terms of driver enjoyment, as well as being spectacular to watch. Perhaps it"s the Silverstone inspired Maggots and Becketts section More importantly, it was the weather - and the impact that had on testing - that created havoc. Over the course of the practice sessions there was very limited dry tyre running, making it a headache for the strategist to work out what to do in a dry race. Add in a few faster drivers out of position and you"ve got yourself a cracker.
