Too bad they stopped the race. I would have liked to see how far he

Not very. The Spyker is a 4th rate piece of ***. I'd like to see him
in a BMW or Renault. He's a mature and sensible driver but his lead
today was because of a lucky call by his crew and not his talent.

Maybe not entirely lucky - he was keeping the car on the track while other
highly acclaimed drivers were flying off the track. His gap to 2nd looked
more than pitstop difference and if I'm not mistaken he was still behind
the leaders when they pitted at the end of lap 1.

I wouldn't call it luck at all. His team called him in when everyone
else was lining up on the starting grid. Spyker did what all of those
other multi-mega-million dollar teams should have done. They all have
weather radar, right? It looked like the other teams played a high-
stakes game of chicken and five cars ended up out of the race as a
direct result (including Adrian Sutil - the OTHER Spyker driver!
Guess he doesn't rate too highly there.)
