Penalty for Pastor, might as well just put that up every race.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Drive through for dickhead.
you could be right there.
it only a matter of time before he gets a full race ban
I'm flicking between this and the Olympic women's road race -- what's Maldonado done this time?
Punted Di Resta off the road to pass him, despite Di Resta giving him plenty of racing room.
Seb going rallying.
Cheers. I don't think I've ever wanted a driver to lose his seat as much as I do Maldonado.
Crofty needs to stop trying to be funny.
Modern F1, faster car can't get past.
Lewis's tyres must be close to the edge now
Nah, the order isn't going to change unless Ham screws up, which I don't see happening.
To be fair to Hamilton, he's been flawless this weekend and deserves a victory. Kimi is just showing Lotus that if they actually pull their heads out of the arse they will win races.
Marshalls are going to have sore arms.
perfect weekend for Lewis
Hamilton wins. Fair play, brilliant all weekend.
That was a "feck You, Pay Me" drive from Lewis.
thought they'd sorted his contract now?2-5 in the WDC is very tight. Shows how brilliant Raikkonen has been this season that he barely gets a mention from pundits and he's only 8 points off Webber in 2nd.
Lewis: "like old times, Kimi"
Fully deserved win for Lewis, he drove excellent all weekend, nice second place for Kimi a few tweaks here and there and his car will be a contender.
The car is capable of wins already.
What a fecking dreadful interviewer.
Boo to the break.
Yay to Spa next. Kimi will win there.

Calling a Mercedes win at either Spa or Monza. Should be good on the long straights
Aye barring any major step forwards by any of the teams Kimi has a major chance of victory at Spa. Though its also a high speed circuit with lower temps and possible rain so its not nailed on.
Lotus also are developed that passive DRS system too which will make them mega on the straights.

No chance.
I know, but how smart am I going to look if it does happen?
And Mercedes should do well in all seriousness, their DRS/straight line speed is fantastic
Lotus are bringing their F-Duct/DRS concept to Spa and combined with the speed that car has currently then they look like they'll be the ones to watch along with McLaren.
If he has a car even half way capable I'd put my money on Kimi, he is simply supreme around Spa.
Schumacher = Massa =
Hats off to Alonso for being in the lead of the drivers championship though his car has been consistently slower than the Mclaren, Red Bull, Lotus and at times even behind in the Mercedes in the first part of the season.
He may end up not winning a drivers championship at the peak of his career.

Next race is in 1 month. 
Didn't realise the summer break was going to be this long.
I reckon all the top teams will have completely revamped cars from the ones that started the season.

It's a 3 week break and the teams have to shut down their factories for 14 days anyway so its not like they will be developing non-stop.
No surprises there, massa has been fairly rubbish all season and never looked like he was going to keep the spot for next season
I agree no shocks, I think De Resta will get his seat.
I'd quite like it if Button went there, he is still underestimated by many. I mean I like him at McLaren but if he went to Ferrari that means I can like them that little bit more too. Doubt it though given he is tied to McLaren for a few seasons but at this point there are about 10 drivers on the grid that could do a better job than Massa.
Rumours of Mercedes partially withdrawing too, just becoming engine suppliers again. Can understand them not exactly being thrilled with results so far but if they truly thought Brawn GP which was previously Honda had the infrastructure to sustain success short term they were wrong, they are still 2nd tier in comparison to the big 3. Would be pretty funny if they withdraw and Brawn GP comes back only to find itself with a monsterous car again.

Spa continuing until the end of 2015 at least, great news.
This feels like the winter break it's been so long, at least the football is back, if this was in July I'd be cracking up
