Ok, not for long, but still showing great pace even though its only FP.

Too awesome this track, if the cars didn't have the aero package I swear they'd be low flying.

I hope Williams still have the edge in the slippery stakes. They could be in for a big result if they still have their straight line speed advantage. Best chance at pulling a win out of the bag as well. Its a long shot no doubt, but this a race ideally suited to the strengths of their car.

Normally i'd agree with this but surprisingly their pace in FP was way off what was expected.

Though this could very easily change by tomm.

Yeah, I don't read too much into FP1. Teams can be experimenting or just holding the cars back and not showing their hand.

Williams now doing much better in FP2.

Glad.

Number 1 and 2 is a given, but methinks there will be great racing for the rest of the top 10 this weekend.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Go Hamilton!

 

[OGroteKoning]

Go Hamilton!

Did he stop?

 

[Bryn]

Holding thumbs for a Rosberg retirement...

Hamilton, Ricciardo and Bottas driving the wheels off their cars.

 

[Dave]

Excellent race, some entertaining driving from a lot of drivers.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Sho - Rosberg took another beating from the crowd on the podium. He looked so out of sorts when Lewis insisted that they are team mates and still get on... arms folded.

 

[Kompete]

He deserves it...chickens coming home to roost. LH is the NR1 driver and he knows that too

People are realizing what a douche bag he is...

 

[Polish]

Nice race, somewhat boring but ok.

Great drive from Lewis, and Bottas. Rosberg folded under pressure.

Button displayed clearly again that he should retire. Magnussen much watch those penalties.

Alonso DNF always great to see

Not much else to report, roll on Singapore (I think).

But still 22 points ahead

Another good day at the office for Lewis

Wow, those Williams! Impressive speed Nice to see Massa on the podium
