Virgin finishes race & beats Lotus!

[e2mtt]

What do you know - they didn't run out of fuel, and the beat the other newbies on the track. Must be huge in their garage! Good to see HRT get both cars to the finish also.

if heikki would have finished he probably would have beaten them, but yes that's one for virgin

I think Di Grassi was going very slowly towards the end saving fuel.
Anyone know how many laps and at what pace?

He was doing laps about 12-15 secodns off the pace near the end jsut to make the finish and finished 3 laps down.

Trulli was doing the same as he apparently had a "worsening hydraulic problem"

And DiGrassi STILL managed to finish tops of the new teams, and just a few retirements away from their first point. Pretty nice going.
