Wohoo for Hamilton and Massa!!!

Hope Massa can keep Alonso behind in the opening laps and Ferrari allows them to race.

‏@andrewbensonf1 Ross Brawn expected to leave position as Mercedes team boss as result of Paddy Lowe joining. More here soon http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/21571627 And..

Double S curves. It is said that if you get the first one wrong, all of them will be compromised.

Pirelli techs gather data at the COTA.

Best overtake in F1 history.

Perez is showing a lot of inexperience in the last few races. My gut feeling is that he will get into some crashes in early part of next season that will mess up McLaren's/his season. Also they may not have a dominant car early in next season as they had this year. I think Mclaren messed up big time...

My take: A F1 team needs to be good a all three things below: 1) Have a fast car (and driver). 2) Have a reliable car. 3) Good team strategy and pit-stops. McLaren seems to drop the ball on one of these three most of the time. Having a reliable car but not very fast means regular points (Ferrari). M...

McLaren is saying it is not true. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/mclaren-no-truth-hamilton-mercedes-report-171454130--spt.html I have a feeling this could be a negotiating tactic to get better contract deal at McLaren. Lewis has been in contract negotiations with McLaren for a lot of days. Remem...

I like the idea of more protection that closed cockpit will provide but there are some issues from engineering point of view: 1. The drivers use tear off strips to cleanup the visors. Canopy will need wipers, spray etc. 2. Getting driver out fast in case of accident. 3. F1 open cockpit gets very hot...

That second layer was added on Jenson's request to protect the sidepod if Vettel rams into him again this year at Spa.

Its' brilliant. Tripple DRS from Merc.
When driver presses DRS, the Gator opens the mouth to stall the front wing.

Seb: That's better, I was worried how Kimi was staying awake for so long.
