Is that motor racing in it's purest form, though? For me, it isn't.

Perhaps not but it's all part of the game, same as tyre choice and quali setup. I think it's great and mixes it up. For me just wished he had put up a bit more of a fight at stopping LH from passing him as LH would then have got his "red mist" and ran it off the track!!!:D

I agree, Piquet did make it a little too easy for Lewis. Then again, this was his first podium finish, maybe he was just being careful. You want I should judge? I'll tell you something I didn't know, I was under the impression that the extra weight in fuel needed to enable a one-stop strategy had such a detrimental effect on lap-times and tyre-wear that it totally negated any time advantage to be had from only pitting once.

Perhaps young Piquet has a particularly light touch with a car. So did Alain Prost and Sir Stirling Moss, I believe, and they didn't do too badly now did they?

Interesting season so far.

Regards

Johan
