There's a video of Hamilton's crash on here. Might be UK only though.

Redbull caught fire at the rear apparently.

Having seen photos of it on track I actually like the Ferrari. Not keen on the Mercedes.

Good to see Red Bull have seen sense and painted their car to hide the nose a bit. The Force India is hilarious.

Love the Ferrari. Grows more and more. Just wish it wasnt such a dramatic droop but I can see why. Apparently, FIA ruled that Lotus' front wing is legal and the Renault and Mercedes have their clarificaton; Ferrari turbo is fine, shut up trying to gain 5kg for a 'turbo guard'.

Well, seems like Gary Anderson thinks that nothing has changed:
If you had to pick one team to be in charge of based on where it is so far, which would it be?

Red Bull. The car only did three laps, but that's about reliability and functionality and it will improve. But the RB10 looks a very logical, well-designed car.
Read it here: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112329
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.

I bet i could wet the track quicker than that tractor. 11 cars go out there will be a dry line in a matter of minutes

Not yet. They're hoping to get it here today but it probably won't run
