It really is, the sport is bit of a mess at the moment. Thankful there are changes for next year, another season of this would be soul destroying.

It's such a load of bullshit. Lewis Hamilton in the last podium position with Webber putting him under pressure and instead of the engineer telling him to watch his back and keep Webber at bay he tells him to watch his tyres.
More importantly that girl from earlier is Alonso's woman

I don't understand why Mercedes try and do 1 stops, they never ever work for them because they cannot manage their tyres like everyone else. Just 2 stop and max attack it, nothing worse than watching Hamilton on a leash because he's just not that kind of driver.
Vettel is a phenomenal driver and whatever else you want to say about him, but RBR's domination is dull.
I appreciate its not their fault, but I've completely lost interest in the sport. There's just no competition, and if its not going to happen organically somehwere along the line you've got to gimp Red Bull.

Reminds me of the early 2000s more and more. Hope that something happens to Schumacher so we can have a race.
Vettel being told to slow down. Hamilton being told to slow down.
Next year better be a big improvement

Just watching that Rosberg overtake, more of a mistake than actual overtake mind you. But DRS has totally sanitised the sport, nobody does the brilliant overtakes anymore because they simply just have to press a button and get a huge speed overrun and then if they don't get it done in a couple of laps they have to drop back before their tyres fall to pieces, I genuinely can't remember a great overtake this season.
Going to be a 1-2 for Red Bull. Webber closing in fast at Grosjean.
Webber's bad luck looks to have struck him again, he's suddenly slowed a lot
No he was just being told to slow down. He was getting too close to Grosjean. His poor tyres were getting too hot
Possibly the most boring race of the season this, up there with Korea.
Massa is hilariously bad.
Happy for Bottas, F1 better hope the tech changes work next year. Interminable.
Vettel is just too good
I only watch half of these races now, I switch off way too often. Just dull being told to manage tyres. Hamilton used to be by far my favourite driver, because he used to go out there and burn the rubber off until it was down to the rim. Now he's being told not to drive how he can, and he's suffering; Brundle said it himself.
I can't believe they are sticking with these tyres for next year, expect nothing to change.

I don't think Pirelli are at fault for boring races, It's more to do with teams failing to keep up Newey.
only watched a bit of this race, it was odds on who would win, cant fault Vettel, excellent driver driving the best car.
Lets see what happens next season, with the new cars.

last race of the season , just need Alonso to DNF and Hamilton to win, so I can will the Fantasy League
Real close this.
I am actually tied with top score in strategy 2 league table. Don't know how they separate between tied scores.

its is done by order of entry, my selection has something like 182 teams but mine is top of them.
Thanks mate
Looks like Lotus will be going for the 'pay driver' option.

Pah, lights out on Sunday is the same time as United kick off
I am at work on Sunday, race is on BBC ,match on Sky watching both will be the order of the day.
Bernie has said Christian Horner would be his choice to take over running F1 after him.
Considering what he's achieved at such a relatively young age, I actually think he could do well.

What does Bernie even do apart from threaten to cut Silverstone once a year and throw his weight around to try get over his small man syndrome?
Everyone set up dry because tomorrow's forecast to be dry but it's set to rain in quali.
Should mix things up a little.

Apparently Charles Pic has been told it's going to get worse soon. Big queue of cars at the end of the pit line ahead of Q1 waiting for the green light.
mass exit for Q1 , expecting more rain?
I'm not sure Rosberg needed telling that everyone is on an outlap considering the circuit has only been open for 70 seconds.
Yeah they seem to be expecting conditions to get bad really soon. Should be a tasty quali for a change if that happens.
track looks pretty dry, considering how rain there was in FP3
The rain is falling heavier now.
Moar rain, MOAR!!!
track is getting faster now.
Really not looking to see Pastor in a Lotus seat; it really is a waste of a driver. Grosjean is really getting into his groove now as one of the top drivers, and replacing Kimi was always going to be a step down. But Maldonado is about 3 steps down for me, Ferrari and Mercedes will leapfrog them massively now.
The 2014 cars look interesting eh? That nose doesn't look so pretty, and the engine just doesn't have the same beautiful sound as the V8s or V10s

Sutil power sliding through turn 3 there!
