I'm surprised by the medias lack of coverage this year. I barely knew when it was going on, much less who won.

I watched it on europost so at least at Europe the coverage should've been good I suppose.

I'm amazed by the lack of coverage. I knew it was happening, no idea when, where or even who was taking part. The main event is tomorrow, which is effectively useless for every known audience.

Who holds a race meeting on a Tuesday and Wednesday? Seriously. I want to watch it but I can't as I'll be at work and internet speeds for replaying isn't fast enough, at all and I have no Eurosport to watch it on :(

Vettel saved Michael's bacon. A new era indeed.
