    Well Singapore was never in any doubt after that first corner, if there was no safety car Vettel would have gone close to lapping most of the field. Was flying around the course and was in a class of his own, pity Webber's car wasn't like that. Thought he was going to get second with about five...

    Two number one drivers at Ferrari next year. Wonder how both drivers will handle it, we all know what Alonso did last time he was part of a team featuring two number one drivers. Potentially two seats at Lotus next year, if Grosjean gets dropped, and they are one of the top cars. Who will get...

    Bit of a flat race at Monza, would have been more interesting if it actually rained. The most interesting part was Hamilton trying to get through the pack in the final stage. Vettel cruised to victory and Webber managed to get on the podium for third. Alonso had a great start and finished second...

    Lotus don't seem that far off and with the extra investment that they got a few months back I wonder if that will lead to a stronger car next year. They have one of the best drivers in Raikkonen and a with a few changes to the car they could easily win the drivers championship. Ferrari's...

    It is a bit boring to have him clear in front again. Ferrari can't seem to get the car right, Mercedes are great in qualifying but have no pace in the races, Raikonnen is pretty consistent and McLaren have fallen so so far. That was the biggest surprise to me this season how bad the McLaren cars...

    Webber yet again having car issues prior to the start, I am sure he will be more than happy to be moving on from Red Bull at the end of the season. Must be so frustrating for him. Was a pretty quiet race overall especially for Spa. Disappointing to see Kimi retire and stop his run of consecutive...

    Spa qualifying is on tonight. Been a long break between races but a great race to come back to, always so entertaining here. Great track. Kimi has a fantastic record here, four wins I think, so I am hoping that he can get a win here (if Webber can't).

    Good win for Hamilton, excellent drive in an enjoyable race. Webber was doing well but got a bit unlucky at the end, passed by Hamilton thanks to being blocked by a back marker and then when he was making a run on Vettel his KERS screwed up again. Wish that his engineers could actually get his...

    Hungarian GP on now. Hamilton was on pole with Vettel alongside him. Ricciardo managed to qualify 8th and Webber's KERS messed up again so he started 10th. Cracking first lap of the race with a ton on quality racing with only one touch. Grosjean had some nice side by side racing with Vettel into...

    Bernie likes money so it will come down to the highest bid rather than the most reliable tyre.

    I want to see Kimi in a top car as well, such a likeable driver, but I think that with a few tweaks Lotus can be a top team. They have recently had new investment so from that they may be able to increase their budget and work out the issues that the car currently have. Doesn't surprise me...

    I just don't know if Vettel would be happy with that as he clearly wants to be the number one driver and wouldn't want anyone there that can threaten that position. If Kimi moved there he could definitely match Vettel in the same car and he wouldn't want to be the number two driver. I think that...

    Cameraman is okay, has a concussion and chest pain but is in hospital getting the treatment he needs. So lucky that the tyre didn't hit his head, need to change the rules so that anyone in the pit lane must wear helmets. Another weird situation with Bianchi's engine blowing up, left it on the...

    2013 Formula One Season

    :smash: Webber had a great start for once and got into second place behind Vettel after the first corner. Vettel pitted first and had a great pit stop and then the next lap Webber pitted and was a great chance to jump Vettel. Then they screwed up putting a tyre on, released him when one wasn't...

    Pirelli statement regarding the tyres and they put the blame on the teams. Shocked that teams were allowed to put the tyres on the wrong way around, surely for safety reasons it should have been mandatory to put the left tyre on the left hand side and same for the right. Again it should be...

    Right move in the end to make the change. Don't really need another young driver's test and it means that they don't have to find anymore time in the schedule to fit in a tyre test. Pirelli have announced that they are strengthening the tyres before Germany. The internal belt will be made of...

    It is quite strange how even after they ran the test that one of those affected by the tyre blowout was Hamilton. I did notice BBC mention something about new concrete near the kerb on Turn 4 and how it was razor sharp. Maybe that also played a role in destroying some of the tyres although...

    Didn't Mercedes run their test with the current car and current drivers? Would be a bit unfair if they did the same thing and got a worse punishment for it. I just want them to sort out this tyre issue because it is frustrating seeing not just the blowouts but drivers driving at 80% to...

    2013 Formula One Season

    I heard a rumour that Red Bull and Ferrari were both tempted to run illegal tests with Pirelli in their current cars after Mercedes got off with such a weak penalty. It isn't the worst idea since the precedent is set about what the punishment would be. I wonder if they will actually go back to...

    Holy crap that was a good finish. Webber was flying and his overtake on Kimi was centimetre perfect. Needed one more lap and he would have taken Rosberg as well. Second is a brilliant result though after a poor start and after Grosjean hit him. Ricciardo dropped to 8th, his pit team is terrible...
