    Kimi Raikkonen says 2015 is likely to be his last year in F1. I guess the mid-2015 silly season can start a bit early.....

    I read Kimi said he would like to try rallycross. His one complaint about WRC was not being able to race anyone directly. Rallycross would definitely solve that problem.

    I think Kimi in rallycross would be a hoot. He'd bash is way to the podium.

    Can't imagine how the race will go if the conditions are similar. One can only hope...

    Weather is supposed to be good tomorrow. Hoping for rain, it always makes for a better race.

    Good weather will make for an interesting start with the back markers in front of the Ferrari and Williams boys. I am also looking forward to see how Hami reacts to his starting position.

    Start was about what I was expecting. Glad there wasn't any serious injuries. Thought it was a great race. Really impressed with Bottas! Really enjoyed Hobbs' comments during the duel for 5th place.

    Very good race for sure. Glad Kimi escaped intact. Seems Kimi may have been practicing rally cross moves. He should send Massa a thank you card for not spearing him dead center. Heads up on Massa's part.

    Do you think Diffey is a Hammy fan?

    I thought it was an entertaining race regardless of the dominant win. Alonso and Vettel going at it was superb and both of them whining about the other's tactics over the radio was icing on the cake. Alonso might have been fighting for that third spot on the podium if it wasn't for the brain fart and subsequent stop and go penalty. Awesome driving. I was rooting for Button to catch Ricciardo at the end but it wasn't meant to be.

    Mattiacci said this morning that Kimi was under contract for 2015 and wasn't going anywhere - isn't that usually what they say just before they're released? :biggrin5:

    I guess I turned away before this happened.

    I like the commentators as a whole. But Diffey Sunday was so over the top on Hammy that you would have thought he just won the championship.

    I like the close racing. To bad it's not at front for more than 2 cars.

    Larger wheels and lower profile tires?

    This topic comes up often but Pirelli and the teams are actually testing now.

    I'm sure the sponsorship is beneficial to both parties. I'd bet money on Haas having Ferrari lumps in the back of their cars when they hit the grid. Not sure if Ferrari has their own wind tunnel, if not I'm sure they will use the one Haas has.
