The race was such a sleeper (after the early accident) that I didn't even remember to look at this thread. I think I heard that the dominating factors that made this year's race particularly dull were fuel consumption and tires. That made me think they should just cut 2 laps off the race to let teams be more aggressive which someone obviously thought was brilliant so they waved the checked flag early. The only problem is that you have to tell everyone at the beginning not just surprise them at the end. At least the Vettel/Hamilton battle is definitely on.
