How many safety cars were there?

[Spoonbender]

I had to do a 24hr shift over the weekend, getting home just in time to watch the GP, but was half asleep.
So I was confused when in a post race interview with Jenson Button on the BBC, he was asked about the two safety cars. He looked puzzeled and said "were their 2 safety cars?" Now I've watched the replay, but I can't see it, anyone else? or am I just going mad :)

One.

Lee's Twitter (http://twitter.com/LeeMcK/statuses/4419520890): "My fault re: safety car.Was interviewing crashed drivers and was sure heard there had been 2 SC's.Sadly can't see everything. Sorry!"

This is a trick question, right?? OK, I'll try "three", a Merc, a Toyota and a Datsun.

Apparently Renault had scheduled 2 in the pre-race briefing but hadn't realised Piquet wasn't driving for them any more. :)

:D love it!

seriously though, I was confused by the interview, i only ever saw 1 safety car. Button is off the hook! :D

One real safety car, one "phantom" safety car. Several teams pitted to cover themselves in case of a safety car after Webber's crash, but it didn't appear.

Or the smart-arse answer: if it had appeared for the second time it would still have been the same safety car, so it's one anyway :D

Many thanks for clearing that up.
Cheers for the witty replies, you guys should be on the stage :)
