    "Planet F1"

    I stopped reading.
    Lol yeah pretty much how I feel. 

    Some guy yesterday was slating Vettel because "he could have helped the team and moved over" and that if he was behind Ricciardo he'd have demanded it happen. He then said he was losing respect for him fast. Even though Vettel has received a lot of praise for how he has gone about this season and handled himself so far. 

    His IQ level must be incredibly low. 
    I can see his point though.
    Does that mean I'm mentally deficient?

  3. That is a really good point actually about the SC, but in the heat of the moment I was just thinking 'pit him now so he has the fresh rubber and then he can get past them.'
    I thought so too during the race, it just occured to me afterwards.
    Gotta admit I was cursing at my TV screen when they didn't want to pit him despite his pleas.

  4. Finally Hamilton and Rosberg are back on a level playing field. A shame Rosberg wasn't there to contribute to a fight, but I'm very happy with the result today. Good job by Vettel to get second but I'm honestly surprised he didn't finish further up ahead of Ricciardo considering Dan was carrying some problems today. Alonso, solid but shame he didn't get a podium.

    Really good job by Vergne today. He was very quick in practice as well, so a very well deserved 6th place ahead of some superior cars. And he finished well ahead of Kvyat too. What a time for Vergne to get a result like that in too, without a drive currently. If I were a team principal looking around, I'd want him in my car I think.

    Shame for Bottas with the tyres at the end. I've never seen a car squirm around like that ever!

    Ericsson was a bit of a joke in places today. When he was going into that corner after the long bridge straight, he just let Kvyat and Perez through, even though he was actually racing them for position!

    The safety car procedure needs a re-think too. We had about three laps if I remember correctly where the track was clear, but we had to wait for the backmarkers to come through. Why can they not just fall to the back of the grid and remain a lap behind? Then they'll be out of the way of the leaders. they stay a lap behind (where they should be), and we don't waste time behind the safety car. If they did that then the race would have run the full 61 lap distance.

    Eddie Jordan on the podium, again. Yeah he's enthusiastic but he was on the podium just two races ago in Belgium. Of all the people in the F1 paddock surely they could have got someone else. Sir Stirling would have been great, wouldn't he.

    As Platy was saying, Sky didn't half dramatise the whole Hamilton pit gap situation today.  When they were saying he had to have a 27 second gap to get in the lead. NO HE DIDN'T! It was flippin' obvious he was gonna get them anyway as he would have been on 20 lap newer tyres or something, and in the beast that is the Mercedes. 

    I think Sky's coverage is fantastic, but so often I find myself correcting the commentary, or adding obvious comments. I wish I could get in the commentary box!
    I think you're overlooking something regarding HAM winning the race anyway, 27 second gap or not: What if there was another SC, which then lasted until the very end of the race? Or what if the SC came in again, with only 2 laps to go with DRS being activated 3 laps after a SC comes in again?

    I agree, Lewis chances were very good with or without a 27second-lead, but there were a few possibilites left which could have ruined his race, so staying ahead would have been the best thing anyway.

  5. A great day for democracy. Not because of the actual result, but because this referendum has been a very good example of how to make decisions like this one without the need to kill each other and poison bilateral relations for future years.
    Something Russia and Ukraine should take notice of.
    Also, great to see that way more than 80% took part in this referendum.
    As someone who isn't living in any of these two states, I think this decision is a win-win situation for both parties. Scotland has proven that it doesn't take much to seperate from the rest of GB (55% isn't a huge majority in favour of staying together) while keeping all the advantages that come along with remaining a part of GB.
