A truly exciting race to watch. Tough luck for NZL and GER for coliding with each at the start of the Spring Race. I did get the feeling that even though the race stewards exonerated NZL of any wrongdoing the NZL driver was drifting right unnecessarily, espescially when the track is wide enough to allow 5 cars to turn into a hairpin line-abreast. An overall fantastic drive by Team Malaysia. A good car and all his Grand Prix driving experience really helped Alex Yoong to pile the pressure onto rookie Hinchcliffe of Team Canada. Better luck next time dude! The whole event had a dramatic turnaround after the 1st lap incident between NZL and GER. I was seriously expecting the black beauty and the German to be duking it out over there. I must also mention the really smooth pit work by Team Czech Rep. It was team work really got that car onto the 2nd step of the podium there.
After the Czech Rep. GP the following are the championship standings:
1 Germany 20
2 Mexico 19
3 Malaysia 17
4 Canada 11
5 Czech Republic 11
6 Great Britain 11
7 USA 10
8 Netherlands 9
9 France 8
10 Australia 8
11 China 8
12 South Africa 7
12 New Zealand 5
13 Italy 5
14 Switzerland 4
15 Indonesia 1
The real cat amongst the pigeons here is Malaysia with 17 points, 6 clear of Canada.
