JB's contract is more than 1 and less than 10 and that's all he's saying.

Didn't he say it was 3 years? Or maybe the BBC said 3 years.

McLaren have tended to be faster in the races than qualifying; remember that many of those Vettel pole positions this year he was a second clear of everyone (except Webber), but the races turned out to be more even. Today probably should have been a McLaren 1-2. I think tomorrow will be a race between the McLarens with Vettel happy to settle for third and wrap up the championship.

Hamilton just needs a good result, and then he'll cheer up. As much as Button's been driving better than ever, and the points table doesn't lie, I would bet on Hamilton to be second in the championship this year (not that any of them care about second).

I wonder if Hamilton has been dumped or has girl problems and that is why he is off pace?

Another good race this morning. This season has rekindled my interest in F1.

Any respect for I had for Vettel went straight out the window after what he did to JB at the start. There was no need for that

Looks like he's qualified from the Michael Schumacher school of being an arse.

Perhaps JB could still be 2011 Wold Champion if the Red Bull team are disqualified? That super flexible front wing of the Reb Bull with built in heating elements may yet be illegal and thus considered cheating...
