Valencia European GP

What a race... plenty of moves here and there...
Wasn't an 8th different winner though.

What's everyone's thoughts/opinions?

Alonso was on a tear, and did a magnificent job. All the pieces fell into place, plus he just kicked ass left and right. Must give him kudos for a stellar race and holding on with shredded tires. Did you see his tires at the end? Spanish pride pushed him to the limit, great drive. Home crowd favorite.

This was the most entertaining Valencia race in history. Most are ho-hum, not today

What failed on Seb's car? Was it electrical/alternator?

What about Lewis' shunt at the end? Did he block passing a couple of times before he hit the wall?

He was desperate...and I think he was blocking a bit...with worn tires. Just my 2 cents.

Very true, Alonso drove an impressive race, from 11th to 1st.

It was, Vettel's alternator went, which killed his engine!

Was unfortunate for Hamilton... battling with Maldonado, even though his tyres had not far off worn down. Seemed to me like Maldonado went wide and as he came back on the track, he tried to turn but slid over the curb and carried straight on into Hamilton, knocking him into the barrier.

Completely different race to previous years, and was I happy to see Schumi was on the podium, and you wouldn't of thought he would have been there with 10 laps to go.
Amazing race
