Turn 10 is proving really tricky. If the conditions stay more or less the same during the race and there was a gaggle of cars, going through Turn 10 it could be bit ugly.

And then after quali was cancelled, they let all the fans come down on pitroad. It was neat being in the F1 pits and seeing the garages and cars up close, and most of the drivers were down there signing autographs and having pictures taken so it turned out to be a pretty good day.
i got that sense from the extra long coverage on Sky (kudos to Sky for their coverage). they accommodated the fans as best they could and for the first time in a long time i saw F1 really open up to the fans. drivers and teams were having a blast out there out there and everybody seemed to open up a bit more. great stuff imo.

different circumstances for sure but still the complete opposite to how Indy 05 was dealt with from an image point of view. in a weird way i think this will actually help F1 with its image in the US.

kinda wish i was there. enjoy today Lanky!

Looks like its getting wetter, with Q3 delayed. They could set the grid from Q2 but if the conditions remain the same, then what about the race?

The weather radar I posted above now looks like it's ready to clear.

We might have a dry race in a few hours.

That was a tentative start, with Rosberg running wide.

Hamilton and Rosberg actually touched. Looks like Hamilton ran Rosberg wide.

Great race. Congratulations Lewis.

After seeing how it stayed unpredictable even after the track dried I'd like to see Nico Hulkenberg's suggestion of cutting practice time heeded. It's much better when the teams don't really know what they're doing!

That was awesome! Great race from Hamilton, Vettel and Verstappen. Rosberg showed some fightingspirit, but made a few mistakes, and at least 1 to many. Raikkonen is really past his selling date.

Thoroughly enjoyed that race.

Rosberg's not doing anything for his popularity is he? Very sulky on the podium.

Congrats to Lewis Hamilton. Very convincing victory and nice to see some raw emotion from a driver. He looked completely shattered after he got his helmet off.

What does the race and the Pirelli hat have in common?

Rosberg threw them both away.

Not sure you can blame him for that really. I don't think it's really enjoyable when your team members all; start jumping and celebrating when your car breaks down (Sochi) or when you just lost a race (today)

Here Nico, have a glass of champagne, we just won the constructor's championship. Your car broke down (again), this time while you were leading and now you're virtually out of the championship, but let's celebrate!

In the mean time Force India has increased the gap to Lotus by another 7 points.
Lotus better start looking behind (only 5 points ahead of Toro Rosso)

Very good point on Sky tonight (Teds Notebook) with Montoya interview.
Asked if he thought Lewis was too aggresive on turn one, Juan Pablo said..
He had no option. If they both went off and out, Lewis would still of been World Champion anyway..

That's not true. He had to outscore Vettel by 9 points too.
