Kimi confirmed to be staying at Ferrari for 2016. Seems they want to wait for Bottas' current contract at Williams to run out rather than buy him out. Seems very sensible to me. I suspect that means we're in for a very quiet driver market this year. There may not be any changes at all, in fact.

Maldanado crashed and briefly stopped FP1 (As if he's not done that before)

While it does seem that 'Crashtor' is quite the accident prone driver, from the replay I thought that spin could happen to anyone.

Got a feeling Nico will mug Lewis at the start.

Williams have been awful tactically this season with so many errors costing them points. Why load on the downforce on a straight track?

Betting on rain?
And what the heck happened with Bottas' tyres? They're coming across as increasingly incompetent. |

Dangerous game to play with Vettel, especially arter Rosberg's blow out on Friday.

Even as a F1 fan, that was a pretty lifeless and boring race.

1 stop strategy probably wasn't wise for ferarri oops. Lewis wins again though

Vettel again showing why he's disliked by so many.
He runs the tyre far longer than recommended, and then it's the tyre manufacturer's fault when it fails. *beep* moron! |

Rather than criticising Pirelli and Ferrari strategists for the tyre failure on Vettels car and the earlier one on Rosberg should not the top brass of the FIA and the race stewards examine why they allowed drivers to use corner rumble strips and 'exceed track limits' throughout the race at Eau Rouge and Radion.
The forces put through the tyres by allowing this are visibly severe and must subject the tyres to tread and internal stresses. They had warning of this at Silverstone a few years back and again on Friday with the Rosberg blow-out. Do we have to wait before another 'freak accident which could not be forseen' claims the life of a driver? |

Obviously not as boring as all the other things you could have been giving your attention to instead.

didnt see the race so just watching the highlights. I dont think ive ever seen a team put two different types of tyre on at a pit stop. Pretty amateurish mistake.
