yesnomaybe should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
anyone else think that its a daft that Marussia are now in line for the 10th place constructors money due to Glocks chance 12th place finish?

IMO if the teams arent quick enough to score any points then their pace across the whole year should dictate their final place in the championship order, not a single race result for one driver

thanks for posting that, frostie - you're right about his thoughts regarding driver protection. pretty certain that's one of the first times i've seen anyone express a timescale for bringing it in?

i think it's entirely correct. you have to be in the right place at the right time to get the higher finishes when they're there and if your car isn't reliable or fast enough, you don't. simple as that. maybe i'd agree with you if it was a high attrition race, or it was based on grid positions but i don't really see what there is to complain about.

i agree the defining battle of our time is going way too far, but because of the circumstances of their battle, the rain and the spray, i was riveted while watching it.

i suppose it is subjective though, in the dry there is no excuse for it, in the super wet i think it was a showcase of their skill and good judgement.

And how would you measure that 'pace' over the whole year except by judging on finishing positions? Average speed track speed?!

It would seem that Button's podium finish didn't come without its drawbacks.

Still, they've got it fixed now. *fingers crossed*
