you've just ruined it for anyone hoping to watch at 1pm

 

it's a long accepted fact on this site that people who don't want to know any result shouldn't open the thread!

 

Long accepted except by the idiots who access it.
Remember one fairly vociferous member last year

 

There is always one, 'tis true.

 

This is the way it works here.

This is the way it has worked for many, many years.

The GP thread will always contain spoilers.

If you don't want to know, don't open the thread.

Simple really.

 

Thread title modified to warn the uninitiated

 

Never been necessary before.

 

I saw that this thread was on here earlier so deliberately avoided it.

Good to see Button do better than Hamilton. Not that I dislike Hamilton, but I'd like Button to do well this year too.

But Vettel's pole lap was storming. And I love that fast chicane near the end of the lap. I'd love to do that in an F1 car.

 

Just trying to be helpful. There are always new people who might be unaware, as evidenced above.
