Arre did anyone watch the race , there was a huge pileup in the beginning of the race and most of the top ones were affected due to it .

^^I wouldn't say it was the top ones.

one who were out were Lewis, Grosjean and one Toro Rosso driver along with Jenson Butoon who was running 14th at that time.

In such narrow tracks, these things happen and full credit to the top three who defied odds and stood victorious.

he actually had more pace than Ferrari but couldn't find way to overtake Kimi.

anyways, My favourite team, an Indian team and my favourite driver took 1 2 3 places on podium. A superb superb day for me :)
