Mercedes Risk on Q3 turned out to be dull, for giving Nico only one shot,
loosened his grid position, while vettel last lap was his second flying lap and helped that much. |

You've lost me haha. I don't know what you mean.
I mean Bernie could easily say there was a 5-way fight for pole, so the TV focused on that in Q3. In Q2 I suppose you could say it was all about the Ferraris struggling and Kimi dropping out. In Q1 he could say there were so many cars on fast laps all at the same time they had to focus on who was coming over the line again and again.
I think your comment has gone over my head though |

He can get away with it in Q3.
The point is in Q1 and Q2 the Force India were in both sessions the first cars out setting proper times, when the track was empty apart from them. FOM chose to ignore them then and stuck with looking in the garages and pitlane.

Kimi is being monstrous. This track is defying all expectations.
I think Rosberg is forgetting the "one-car's width" rule. He'll be lucky not to get penalised for both the Hamilton manoeuvre and that one on Fernancy.
Honestly, these bloody stewards. They have the easiest job in the world (watching replays) and yet they still sit on their arses saying they'll have a look at it in a couple of days. Absolutely ridiculous. |

McLaren doing a great job of chucking it away again this year...
Addendum: Jackie Stewart really is for sale, isn't he? |

It's going to be 'interesting' if Mark Webber wins this years championship by coming fourth in every single race..............................

What a strange old season this is turning out to be.
Good stuff.

I think it could be possible. Look at the table, both Hamilton and Webber are yet to win but are 2nd and third and right in the mix.
I think the Champion this year will be the one who can be the most consistent.

Great stuff from Lotus today, I'm pleased for them - especially Big John after his early exits in the first two races.
Those McLaren pitstops though ... oh dear. I can't see Lewis in a hurry to sign a new deal while they're screwing up their races like that. |

Seeing RaikKonen after yrs on podium was fine, especially when he states I'm disappointed being 2nd. also seeing a new podium climber as Grosjean completed Lotus' glory.(renault's glory?) and getting that Finger was awful but fair as he showed the top form today.
not a bad race indeed. |
