F1 Excitement Without Safety Cars Or Accidents

Although it was fabulous news that Heikki Kovalainen took the first victory of his career at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday, probably the best news of the race was elsewhere. This is a season in which rain, safety cars and accidents have ensured great racing in just about every single race. With clear blue skies and no serious accidents at the Hungaroring, we had an exciting race in which the outcome was decided by great racing and car reliability. With Lewis Hamilton having his tire blow and Felipe Massa blowin his engine, Kovalainen was right there ready to grab the victory. And all of this happened on a track where a dry race is supposed to be nothing but a boring procession. Again, what a season!
