Yes, that cameraman in the pits is lucky to be alive after getting struck by Webber's tire. They showed it live, but in every replay, they cut the video short just as the tire was about to strike the cameraman. They were waiting for word on the guys condition, and I really thought perhaps it was a serious injury because they wouldn't replay it.
Vettel understands his place in F1 history. For a 25-year old, he's very mature. As Matchett and Hobbs said, Seb is an F1 historian, a huge F1 fan, and he knows all the drivers and records set throughout F1 history. That's pretty cool. He's not just a guy out there for the glory and the money, he's a true fan of F1. He's starting to realize he's actually being spoken about in the same sentence as Michael Schumacher, Juan Fangio, Ayrton Senna, and Alain Prost.
Great win for Vettel in front of his hometown fans, and a great run for Team Lotus.
I'd like to see Hamilton and Rosberg get a few good runs in, along with Alonso, but I'm afraid Ferrari may be looking at 2014 now. I think the Mercedes team is hot and cold as far as their setups go, but much better than last year. We know they have a couple great drivers, they just need some luck, and maybe better tire strategy.
Kimi is very consistent, and I think he'll win at least one more race this year.
