What a dramatic race, a lot of mixed emotion, concern, disappointment and frustration. Concern first of all for Vitaly, it seems like from all the reports that he's ok, there were multiple rumours, some saying brief concussion, others suggesting back pain/damage but it seems the official word from Boullier is that Petrov sustained some bruising to his legs, hence the difficulty in extraction, but no other more serious injuries. Hopefully that's the case and Vitaly is fine, hope he's back to full strength as soon as possible.
Next of course is disappointment, it wasn't going to be among the highest finish Vitaly has achieved but the Renault had struggled this weekend and he really worked hard to achieve what was likely going to be 8th or 9th and hence the points to deservedly close the gap to his team mate, instead because of all the incidents it'll be Heidfeld, who was frankly poor this weekend, who'll extend his lead once again.
Lastly, frustration, not mine but apparent frustration of some of the other drivers. Hamilton first, some really poor racing today, quite accurately demonstrating how to drive like an petulant kid, you can't keep trying to recreate the life of your idol, create your own legacy Lewis. Secondly for the poor driving from Sutil, Alguersuari and possibly Buemi which caused the accident late in the race, it's hard to establish what actually went on yet but it was amateur.
