Championship leader Button and reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton both out in the first lap due to a big crash. Also, F1's 2 newest drivers Algersuari and Grosjean also out.
Blog-favorite Vettel in 3rd.
Blog-other-favorite Kimi Raikonnen with the win. The power-boost provided by his KERS helped him quite a bit throughout the race, and even got him the lead, allowing him to pass Fisichella right off the bat.
Force India driver Giancarlo Fisichella in second for Force India's first points ever. Great race by him in a very improved car.
Another unsafe pit lane release for Mark Webber, giving him a drive-through penalty, and putting him out of the points.
Rubens Barichello in 7th. Was looking a bit rough for the last few laps, as his engine was smoking pretty heavily, but he still managed to finish, after backing off a bit. Seems it was just an oil leak, but still was looking pretty hairy. And as he pulled into the pits after the race, his car was on fire.
Vettel back to 3rd place in the Championship standings, 19 points behind Button. Barichello picked up 2 points, and is now 3 points ahead of Vettel. Webber is now 2.5 behind.
And it seems that Vettel seems to enjoy his juice as much as Kimi. And he makes a good interviewee. He's so happy and cheerful. Also "interviewee" isn't a typo. FYI.
And now I need to go pack for my business trip tomorrow.

This one is Colorado, right?
Yes. The business trip.
If you're referring to the race, though, that one's totally in Belgium. (That's what I first interpreted your comment as, and was thoroughly confoosed)
I meant the business trip. offly enough.
