Yeah, Hamilton and Rosberg was excellent stuff, the safety car couldn't have come at a better time.

Crashes = exciting races.

Far too few crashes and safety cars these days. Obviously I don't want to see people getting hurt but the drivers aren't scared of crashing they are scared of getting punished for getting it six inches wrong when they're going toe to toe.

Stefano Domenicali has left Ferrari, apparently.

Or, at least, he's resigning as Team Principal.

Not surprising. He's been about as impressive a team principal as Martin Whitmarsh was.

I'll be sad to see him go.

Because watching De Montezemelo get pissed off by his team being shit is so heartwarming.

Seems like Vettel is only keen on team orders when they're in his favour. What a little shit he is. Lovely that his teammate passed him anyway.

When Vettel pulled over, you mean?

Hamilton is starting to sound American.

I'm not convinced. I'll have to dig out some old footage.

Note: I'm not actually going to do that.

Perez and chilton both penalised next race for causing accidents.
Perez 5 place grid penalty, chilton 3. I expect they will need to paint a few extra grid boxes to give max his penalty...

So from next season, safety car restarts will be no more, and any restart after a safety car period will be a standing start from the grid, with the reasoning that 'Rolling restarts aren't exciting enough'.

Since when was the purpose of a safety car period to make the race more exciting?

Yeah, this is a bad idea. Hopefully it'll be quashed before the start of next season.

Also, isn't making all the cars stop and idle for a few minutes a bad idea for brake and tyre temps?

They should neutralise the reace, then set them off again with the same time gaps that were there when the race was stopped. After eliminating any runners a lap or more down.

Magnetised track, iron floors on the cars. As soon as there is a crash, flick the magnet power switch to on.

Well that was something else, wasn't it? I applaud Hamilton for not handing anything to Rosberg. And what an effort by Alonso.

EDIT: And Ricciardo, obviously!

I think Hamilton should do as he's damned well told. He won't win anyway, which is something.

Whoo Alonso!

If Rosberg wanted to pass, he could at least make a proper, manly attempt. Hanging around 1 second behind and expecting Hamilton to pull over and wave him by was pathetic. In any case, Hamilton shouldn't give him an inch, they are in proper competition for the championship, and Hamilton is now only 11 points behind him, which is nothing at this stage.
