What a race!

I just wish Massa and Alonso had stayed on and that Schumacher managed to hold on to a podium place.

What does everybody think of the DRS system? I'm not sure that I am a fan.

I'm not going to be too harsh on it because it is quite new, but it definitely needs to be tweaked. With a completely dry circuit, Webber and Button would have blitzed it past Schumacher without any problems. At the moment we're either seeing the activation zone early (Istanbul and Canada), or it not being at all effective (Catalunya).

Shame that it came down to this to promote overtaking though.

I just think that it makes the car in front a sitting duck, from the car behind using it.

If the car behind has closed the gap to within 1 second, then chances are they will over take the person anyway unless the car in front defends their position well. I think it takes away the excitement of cars fighting over positions.

But yeah I guess we have to give it more time for them to figure out where to set the activation zones.

It is a fantastic documentary, loads of stuff which have rarely been aired before were included. The reaction to the Ratzenberger crash and the drivers meetings with Balestre were fascinating.

I remember when Senna died, I said "damn, now Schumacher will win without competition, I wanted him to show Senna who is boss on the track"
