    Rumor has it Toto was very persuasive to get Nico to comply with the new team rules.

    Now that was some great racing. Hamilton put the pressure on Rosberg and he cracked! It was also good to see Massa finish third.

    Second all that (even the Senna bit).

    It's been my issue with Hamilton all along. I also think if he can keep his petulant (IMO) nature under control on the track and get his fair share of luck re equipment, etc, he's probably capable of beating Rosberg more often than not. But the fact I have respect for someone's talent doesn't mean I automatically like or respect him as a person.

    I think Sarah Fisher has a lot more talent than Danica. She won races in World of Outlaw's. Not an easy task. She didn't get the same opportunities & that's a shame. I think she wasn't willing to sell herself in the way Danica was. Now that Sarah is the mother of 2 we won't see her behind the wheel of a race car again. I wish her much success as a car owner.

    Danica? F1? :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Oh stop my sides are starting to hurt from laughing!

    Look I don't hate anyone but PLEASE. If your my age and I know most of you are old farts too, you have seen much better drivers go to F! just to be back markers. I will call this the way I see it and some may not like it. If Danica was not cute she would never have gotten the attention she has gotten. There are plenty of good female drivers out there that don't get the shots that Danica gets. Thats what bothers me every time her name comes up. Sure Danica has talent but not as much as she is given credit for. This speaks volumes about a country that cares to much about looks and not results.

    Now get off my lawn!:D

    It was a nice drive by Nico, after he cracked under pressure ;)

    I think the announcers had it right when they said that Pirelli was to cautious with the tire compounds this year. I have a felling that this race will look different next year with more pit stops.

    Biggest surprise of the race..............Nico's admitting he just didn't drive well during the first stint. Nice to see he didn't find blame with something/someone else.

    Joe Saward takes a crack at breaking down the F1 financial structure. Keep in mind he doesn't have direct access to the real numbers and is making educated (perhaps well informed) guesses. Also, I assume these are 2013 numbers.

    I like him and I'm glad he's still announcing. Only trouble is on some days he's sharp while on others it seems like he's having one senior moment after another. I feel like these days he's just there to do the color commentary anyway, though, so I don't care. :D

    Hang in there Hobbo!

    If Bernie's double-points final race system had been used all along there would have been a few different outcomes on the driver side.

    So much said in this short and to the point statement...

    Hamilton only has to follow Rosberg to the flag.
