2015 F1 Season, Week 16

[also_huey]

Although rain fucks up everything, and the podium was pretty foregone-gonclusion, this was one of the best F1 races I've ever seen. Both Red Bulls dicing for the lead early on, both Toro Rossos in the mix for a podium in the middle of the race, both McLarens and Rossi in the Manor being in the mix for the points towards the end - there was nothing follow-the-leader about this, guys were just going at it hammer-and-tongs all up and down the field all through the race. Brilliant stuff.
