If you don't care about formula one racing/cars in general, let us sum up the recent Chinese Grand Prix for you.
A total of two notable things happened. First, a fan ran onto the track at the Shanghai International Circuit, darting in between cars going hundreds of kilometers an hour.
After successfully surviving the superhumanly stupid ordeal, he rushed into the Ferrari garage in the pits at the other side of the track "to try a car." Needless to say, the only thing he got a ride in was a paddy wagon.

One notable event was already more than most non-petrolheads can expect from such an event, but thanks to Grand Prix champion Lewis Hamilton we were treated to one more before the tourney was through.
On the winner's podium, the British driver celebrated his win the traditional way by popping the cork on a bottle of expensive champagne.
Instead of the usual haphazard spraying, however, he appears to have opted to concentrate the bubbly spray direct on the face of one of the F1 grid girls hosting the prize presentation ceremony.
The photos have sparked somewhat of a media storm in Hamilton's home country, with some commentators accusing him of sexism.
The chief executive of anti-sexism campaign Object said that the images "appear to show that the woman is not just being splashed, but that the champagne is being very specifically directly into her face, which does not look like a voluntary piece of horseplay on her part. If this is the case we think Lewis Hamilton should apologize for his actions."
