Like André Lotterer?

It's good to see Caterham back, but only if they're going to compete properly, not arse about auctioning off seats to no-hopers.

8 seconds off the pace... oh hear. Hamilton / Roasberg will lap him approx every 12 laps.

They are only there so the administrators can collect the end of season pay cheque, I can't see they will be on the grid next year.

Just looking at Will Stevens history... Average to say the least. Seems he's driven the car regularly before, but this is almighty jump compared to what's he's been driving in. If he's got the ££ then good luck to him, but it's a shame there's probably some other talent missing out.

It's just another way to get the safety car on track.

"I'm a racing driver get me out of here"

I can see ITV planning it out now.
More like "I'm a celebrity, cut me out of here"

Rosberg on pole Hamilton second. He looked ultra smooth on his winning lap.

The Button situation is getting very interesting.

Boullier is clearly a stupid c@#t and doesn't think Jenson is quick enough. He's hinted at it several times, although I can't see any basis for it. Teds interview with him today was great as he tried to push him into admitting Button had done well today, and Boullier didn't like it. Twat.

I suspect Ron disagrees. Results wise you cannot argue Button is the man for the job and he should be given the chance in the Honda given they have given him a shit car year on year.

Qualifying was also interesting overall. Hats off to Rosberg, I think he will have taken a bit of sleep away from Hamilton tonight, although he will know he's got the edge over Rosberg in the races.

Just watched the interview, talk about classless, that was very disrespectful towards Jenson. I feel he deserves his seat next year but he wont get it. He puts in solid performances and gets points, at the end of the day thats what you want out of a driver in a crap car. The team have really lost there way over the last 4-5 years.

I remember when Damon Hill didnt get a seat at Williams in 1997 after winning the world championship. He wasn't the greatest of drivers but he always done a solid job.
