Ferrari next year is a defiante, the year after is possible.

Sabbaticals have been known...

With another record looming ever closer for Seb, I think he'll be more determined than ever to win this one. This may be his downfall but I doubt it and he may romp it again.

Other than that I'll be cheering on the Brits!!

Would also like to see Grosjean do well.

1. Vettel
2. Webber - 1 lap down
3. Alonso/Hamilton/Rosberg - + 10seconds,
position 3 order depending on first lap shenanigans...

Basically, Lewis' car was broken. New chassis for last two races.

I'm surprised it took them so long to discover, I assumed they would do a full strip down after every race? Did the damage occur in Japan? I assume Mercedes do not rotate their chassis like McLaren do?

It's not that uncommon actually. remember when Liuzzi had the drop on form in the FI a couple of years ago, then a new chassis and he qualified top 6 at Canada?

These days the chassis is just another part to replace when it is worn out.

I wonder if the chassis problems explain why Lewis struggled in the last race ?

Could be.

Odd Brundle talking about young drivers now coming in straight from F3 ( Kviyat, Bottas & Magnuson) it's not new, Senna did it, Hakkinen did it and so did Martin Brundle.

So did Jenson, and Kimi came straight rom FRenault, which is sub F3. Not new at all, as you say.

They have apparently lost the medical helicopter ...

[KieronGSi]

Medical helicopter had been grounded.

[Catweazle]

Nothing serious then, I was a bit worried when I turned the T.V. on.

It's lost, not grounded.

Due to fog on Radio2 news.

[anonymous-user]

Looks like thick fog. Lets hope it's not crashed.

[MG511]

It's turned up and they should be about to go.

[bishbash]

3 place grid penalty for Jenson, booo!!!
Overtaking on a red flag.

Highlight of the commentary was them hoping for Button, Romain and Perez to line up on the timing board....BUT GRO PER
