Red Flag? For a wheel-to-wheel bang between two cars? A bit strange...

Usually hope for wet sessions and never get them. Now I hope for dry ones it rains. Shame Williams aren't quick in the wet.

Grosjean said Rosberg compromised his fastest lap.

I am so happy about Vettel's performance, even with those bloody problems in Q1. :)

Marko said Rosberg blocked Vettel in his fastest lap :lol:

Edit: more details from the PC.
Q: (Michael Schmidt – Auto, Motor und Sport) Question to Sebastian and Nico: at the end of Q3 you were almost coming together, I think. Sebastian, you weren’t able to do another lap, what happened there?

SV: Nico couldn’t see much in his mirrors, I guess. Obviously I was on a flying lap and Nico was preparing his hot lap, if that’s correct, and not much happened. Obviously I was pissed off at the time because... sorry, I was angry at that time, at that moment because I turned into turn 12 not knowing where to turn in because I couldn’t see anything. The lap was lost but equally I think there was another car in front of Nico...

NR: I don’t think that was me.

SV: No, so then it was Lewis. I think it was a Mercedes.

NR: I don’t think it was me. I never had anybody behind me.

SV: Anyways, I ran into traffic, not really, there were two seconds or three seconds gap but enough so that the next corner was completely blind. That’s it.

This is ridiculous... Ricciardo was already qualified, while Bottas was actually fighting to get to Q3. Sums up F1

Interesting to hear that a driver fainted at a PR event last week, according to Brundle.

Weight restrictions this year are making the drivers too thin.

It's stupid and dangerous. Someone suggested a minimum BMI to go with an increased weight limit, that might not be a bad idea.

Any increase in the weight limit now and the engineers are just going to see it as more ballast to play with. They'll want the drivers to stay as they are.
