The tyres seem to be having the biggest effect o the racing at the moment

 

I read an article today saying that Paul di Resta was complaining because his hands were getting pelted by the marbles of rubber when he turned onto the final corner at Malaysia. Pirelli responded by saying there was basically there was nothing they could do as that is what the teams wanted in a tyre!

Still, I bet getting pelted by little bits of rubber at 100mph+ does and half sting! I get the occasional stone hit me when having the top down at 60ish, imagine what is basically a rubber bullet hitting you every lap. Ouchies.

 

I think I would put up with that, bet he has a few young ladies following his wallet around

 

Haha, me too! Driving a F1 car plus the lifestyle would be amazing!

 

Some really good choices from the BBC's classic F1 this week, chosen by Buemi. Both those Senna vs Prost incidents in Japan; *that* crash at Spa in 1998, and the 2008 nail biting climax in Brazil:

Wow, they are good choices! Nice find!

 

Button takes a nice lead from the start

 

This is a really exciting race ...

 

Fantastic race. This season has the potential to be the best for a decade.

LH's drive was fantastic, but MW is the driver of the day for me.

Button should be kicking himself.

 

Very good. Diasppointed that Hamilton won, had hoped Button could cling on but his pit error seemed to cost him.

Interesting body language between Hamilton and the Mclaren boss (Jonathan Neil) just before he went on the podium. Hamilton didn't seem too interested in speaking to him...
