Wonder if McLaren moved the rear left pit guys to fuel duty this week
Was expecting the worst when they said it was possible he'd be punished, but I was still shocked when they excluded him from qualifying altogether. Farcical, but then they were gunning for him after not punishing him for overtaking off track past Rosberg last time out.

Nah Senna's chassis was burnt up but his was still waiting to be tested by the FIA apparently.
BBC's footage is lol, Jake and the rest of them strolling down the paddock before spotting the smoke and running towards it. Sky's is a bit strange, can see more flames and Kravitz is genuinely worried yet having to try and keep talking.

Anyway, the far right of that pic looks like the pit straight goes up that steep incline, which if so means if you mess up the start just slightly you'll get passed all the way up that hill.

Wondered what Lazenby was apologising for when I flicked onto the last two minutes of Sky's coverage; apparently he made a joke about how dangerous the roads were, just ask Princess Grace Kelly. Oh dear.

Pinkham and Croft were wasted on 5live, always made the red button coverage of practice awesome.
Can see Sky throwing shitloads of money towards BBC for Jake and possibly EJ before next year, would decimate the BBC's coverage if they did so (as we will see when Leigh McKenzie ias to anchor the next few races) and also vastly improve theirs.

*bleep*ing hell Lewis is on fire, gained like 2 seconds a lap for the past few laps. Needs to pass Vettel now under DRS and then has a few laps to pass Alonso.
Rofl wtf was that steward dancing in the background for.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID

Rofl I looked away for a bit playing PS3, looked back and he's facing some lit up fairground ride. Which I therefore knew where he was on the track from playing GT.

I'd seen rumours on Twitter but I didn't actually think it was 'official' enough for the Beeb to run with it.

It has emerged that Vettel and Ferrari have some form of pre-contract, which has options on both sides and which is dependent on the team's performance in 2013. The precise details are not known

Maldonado didn't even attempt to turn into the corner. He just went straight forward into Lewis. He was going to past him eventually anyways as his tires were in bits, should have just cut the corner or slowed up completely. Cost himself a podium.
Quality race though. Did Petrov get a point in the end?
He was on full lock when Lewis turned into him. Easy to say he should have cut corner but how was he to know Lewis would turn into him?
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
From every replay I've seen braceface is full turn left when Lewis turns across Ito him;he had nowhere to go. Lewis knew he was there and turned into hi leaving him nowhere to go, both could have avoided it but only one driver caused the crash
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
That's trying to get back on track, way before the collision. It was full lock, he was trying to avoid Lewis because of the angle he was coming back on. They've been discouraged from cutting corners in that scenario iirc.
Maldonado is a prick and I hate him but in this instance Lewis shoulders the majority of the blame for ruining two races
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
I know that's before the collision. But he has enough space and time there, as well as control of the car to either cut the corner or brake and avoid an inevitable collision.
But the collision was only inevitable because Lewis turned into him. He left him no room to come back on the track, and as I said they've actively tried to stop riders from cutting corners like that, hence why some tracks throw in speed bumps. It's easy with hindsight to suggest he could (emphasis on could, not should) have gone deeper into the run off and cut back in, but that isn't why the collision occured, it happened because Hamilton turned into the corner knowing Maldonado was on his inside. Too aggressive as usual and it's cost him.
Also, didn't Hamilton have to start from the back of the grid for his car not making it all the wa round after a race or something similar?
Wonder if Jean Todt will do the same for Alonso...

Hamilton has to go round the corner though. He's not going to lift when Maldonado's off the track behind him and let Maldonado back on in front.
Maldonado has to go round the corner though, he was never behind Hamilton, but alongside him throughout that little bit and Lewis knew it, but still turned in with him there. Which is poor from Lewis.
We don't know if Maldonado was trying to cut back in front of Hamilton, or just trying to get back on track in general. In truth I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did try and bully Lewis from that position, he's a dangerous *bleep*, but Lewis still turned in on him to cause it. Button, Webber, Vettel would have yielded, gone wide and then driving up his arse for the next few corners.
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
Maldonado was on the outside because Lewis refused to yield in the corner before (rightly). 37seconds, he's at full lock left until Hamilton hits him. Doesn't matter if he should or shouldn't have cut the corner, Lewis still turns in knowing he's on the inside, he'll know he has to be there because Lewis forced him out wide in the corner before. Again, easy now to say he should have gone over the speed bumps and cut the corner but afaik they've been pushed away from doing that. If that's meant to be seen as an excuse to blame Maldonado (that he could have avoided it), then Lewis turning in knowing Maldonado was there can be seen as an excuse to blame him (given he could also have avoided it).
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
Maldonado going round the corner (at the highest speed he could muster) caused the collision though. He could have lifted and let Lewis get through cleanly or take a shortcut. I don't see why Lewis should yield position when he's in front, on the track and taking the racing line. Makes for a good debate mind.
Because not yielding the position led to that incident. Again, it's fair to argue that Maldonado shouldn't have been there; but he was, and Lewis knew he was when he turned into the corner regardless. Moreso annoyed at Hamilton pissing the race away by fighting too hard for a place he was always going to lose.

Djedwardsmith not denying your view on Hamilton, but surely as soon as Maldonado gets all 4 wheels off track, he has to lift off and rejoin safely. Then Maldonado could've argued he was forced off track and let the stewards deal with it if Maldonado didn't eventually get pass
Indeed, Maldonado could have dropped off and pulled back on, and he's in the wrong for not doing such. But the collision is where I put Lewis at fault because he didn't react/respond to Maldonado being silly.
-------------------
"Yes, dem up in tha minin industry felt tha pinch but it was a industry dat was doomed anyway dawwwwg!"
Hamilton was on the racing line, so I don't know why he would move aside for another driver? He wanted to keep position. Maldonado could have continued off the track and re-enter when Hamilton was past. There was never a chance he could re-enter the track there.
Because if he did he wouldn't have ended up in the wall.
Could have quite easily have left Maldonado the room to come back on track and then complained to the stewards about passing him off track.

why don't Silverstone build a Tarmac Car Park they spent all that money to spruce up the Pit lane etc. It would stop farces like we have now where fans are being turned away as the car park is flooded.
A) It would cost far too much to be viable for one event a year B) Most of the fields they're not allowed to tarmac over C) The issue isn't Silverstones fault, local farmers who usually open up their fields decided at the last minute not to and Silverstone were relying on them
Stunning intro on the Beeb. Fancy coverage all weekend will be immense.

Coulthard and McKenzie on the forum are amazing, just having jokes with everyone. Just argued over who to go and talk to the guy from JLS with Red Bull because neither knew which one it was.
And now Eddie Jordan is playing the drums on stage

Not harsh at all, if somebody cuts a chicane like at Monza and gains a place, they have to yield otherwise they get a drive through; same logic has been applied here, Vettel gained a place illegally and didn't yield it back, he went off the track of his own accord, whilst behind Button, and re-entered the track ahead of him.
Red Bull's whinging about Hamilton unlapping himself is hilarious though.

Button dominates on pole, Kobayashi drifts his way into 2nd. Vettel in 11th. But penalties have a part to play so idk final position for Webber and Rosberg.
Di Resta is awesome on the mic too, has a laugh with them and shuts EJ up too.
Oh and De La Rosa is raping that HRT, to even finish ahead of any other car is an achievement but getting ahead of the Virgin/Marussia/Cosworth is impressive.
