I agree it looks like a great track - fast and flowing corners (that 4-apex Turn 8 looks incredible!), some good overtaking opportunities (Button's move on Alonso at the end of the back straight was a highlight) and plenty of room both on the track and in the run off areas. Finally, a new circuit that doesn't seem to adhere to the FIA's preferred "the more chicanes the better" policy.

I couldn't help but think that the circuit designers have incorporated certain sections of other tracks into the design of this one. The S bend at the end of the main straight where the pit lane rejoins is almost a direct copy of the same section of the Interlagos circuit in Brazil for example. Another section where the cars crested a hill through a left hander remided me very much of a similar corner at the old Watkins Glen track in New York that was used back in the 60's/70's. These are probably just a coincidences, but they certainly bear a resemblance.

Shame that Montoya went off to allow Alonso throught to second, I would have liked to have seen Kimi close the points gap to Alonso a bit more. I read that Montoya's rear diffuser was badly damaged when Monteiro's Jordan hit him from behind the previous lap, and that's why JPM didn't have the grip the next time through Turn 8.

And those Williams' right rear tyre failures could certainly use some explaining - can't wait to hear what was causing that!
