Has Kimi decided to scare all the little animals of the area? A fox, a squirrel...

What is it with those pitlane incidents this year? Suspected broken bone(s), hope he makes a speedy recovery.

So Hamilton did his time on softs whereas Rosberg and Vettel did theirs on SS. Track temperature must have fallen quite significantly in the last few minutes considering Ham did his lap a little earlier in the session.

For anyone who missed it, Button got an oil leak part-way through the session, thus why he only had 12 laps in to Hamilton's 30.

So, assuming the weather worsens, the next session to look out for would be FP3.

Also a bad start to Button's weekend. Mirrors that of Raikkönen in Monaco, little to no running in FP1 & wet FP2. It'll propably harm his setup work.

Because they drive 10 or 15 sec on rev limit on long straight, because of their stupid short gear ratio, and loose about 20 or 30 kmh on top speed.
And the drivers will complain in the race they cant overtake because of it

Theyll blame this on Renault engines needed a power boost.

Then you'll look at Lotus and see theres zero wrong with the Renaultsport engines.
