Fun day in Shanghai

What started as a near wash out with the first dozen or so laps run behind the safety car turned into a decent race. Everyone stayed on full wets the entire race, but there was enough off/on action and Lewis provided adventure by, as the commentators noted, "needing to pass each person two or three times" to make it stick as he would frequently misjudge traction and do a pirouette and cycle back a few spots. Vettel came up aces on the pole, and rode it through to victory. The kid seems to have the right metal - now he just needs to keep it up. Driver standings look a bit like someone gave them the old switcheroo - Timo Glock in 4th!?!?!? Team standings are even more bizzaro - Ferrari tied with mighty Force India-Mercedes after three races. Red Bull found the juice in the wet. Next week will likely be very dry - but could be just as dry as the sands blow across the track in Bahrain.
