    Default One way that Formula 1 racing is not like golf..

    Mechanical failure on Buemi's Toro Rosso link

    Scary looking, but fortunately only light contact.

    He was a lucky boy!

    Great result today! I'm very happy with the One Two, but would have preferred Lewis to have had the win. My wife, as many people do, thinks he's a pr!ck though, & was happy with the order.

    You can see him adjust the brake bias to the rear wheels and then lock them down after taking his hands off the steering wheel so as not to affect anything else.

    Pretty cool reflexes.
