To be fair, the feature race was as entertaining as usual, in a pantomime sort of way. More overtaking would have been good, but we were never going to have that on the circuit used this weekend.
Some people had good luck, probably including the three on the podium, depending on whether the timing of their pit stops was good judgement or just plain lucky.
I felt sorry for others including Jeroen Bleekemolen. It looked as though he was still on the brakes when he turned into the corner and the hit a bump, throwing the car sideways and into the barrier. The most unlucky was Nico Hulkenberg who took the lead in the race and in the Championship at that moment, only to suffer a gearbox problem.
Another to impress was Canada's James Middleton, again. Either gets tired towards the end of a race or a bit over-excited, but there's no doubt that he's a racer and fast with it.
