Anyway, I found Lewis's column at the beeb. I guess someone edits the entries, but it certainly doesn't sound like the whining kid that some portray him as http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/29559860
Thanks for that 
But I cant read his articles.
Dear God, can I not.
Just catching up with the coverage now.
Not sure how much is staged or rehearsed, always second guess myself with F1 coverage, but all the guys are clearly struggling with emotions. Hats off to them, they are back out again.
Whilst I'm sure many believe the monies they get paid justify it, equally most of them have enough to back out if they wanted, but they haven't .
Good luck to all of them ....

At the team principals press conference, Graeme Lowdon looked (and sounded) absolutely distraught, but spoke very eloquently and came over as a properly good bloke, here's wishing them a good weekend.Not sure how much is staged or rehearsed, always second guess myself with F1 coverage, but all the guys are clearly struggling with emotions.

They wanted the race in tthe first place!
Crofty & Bruno on Sky.
Going slightly O/T for the moment in GP3 Manor Racing have "commercial problems" and are unable to compete here and in the final rounds at Abu Dhabi, so Dean Stoneman (who has won 3 races this year) switched to Koiranen GP and replaces Carmen Jorda, he's on pole for race 1, half a second up on everyone else. I hope he gets some interest from F1 teams again.

The "mini" speed bumps they've put on the exit of turn 2 don't look as if they will do anything in terms of track limits.
Woah, what a save Kevin Magnusson after a suspension failure, maybe those turn 2 speed bumps had a part to play?

Ricc seemed to be struggling on his fastest lap - when he was 9th.
The Williams, at least in the hands of Bottas, seemed to be going well. Button's good day yesterday seems to be a distant memory.
Dis I hear that the pitlane limit has been reduced to 50kph due to the narrowness? So a great design there from Tilke.
Just seen a Merc come into the pits on the back of a lorry.
Some cars seem to be struggling.
I can't understand: there's lots of grip yet the cars are sliding all over the place.

Yeah good driving by KMag, looked like a tie rod or something broke ? when pushed away the car stil had ride height, so I don't think it was a puncture.
Button is apparently complaining about poor balance, so McLaren back to normal then!
Williams is quick but looks quite wayward in the slow left-right.
Lewis did a 1:39.6 yesterday, I wonder if they might dip in to the 38s if the track has rubbered in a bit ?

BBC were saying they might struggle to fix it before qualifying. MAG did a great job to keep it out the wall and made sure he'll be there in qualifying IMO. I don't think McLaren will struggle to get that fixed in 2 hours.ETA: Unrelated point. I've just seen a tweet from Pirelli that the pit lane speed limit is now 60kph (37mph).
