I feel Mclaren owe it to him to give him a good car next year after seasons of it being rubbish. I think the knives are already out for him thou as alot of news sites i have read said that Button was consistently out performed by his team mate. Facts tell a different story thou

72 points vs 39 points

Vettel is finished now, hes been out paced by his team mate all year and now hes leaving to join Ferrari for a massive paycheque. He wont win a world championship with Ferrari.

I think we can safely say that Hamilton's pre-qualifying unreliability was entirely down to his driving style

Not looking like a good day today

Hope he's ok, but there will have to be questions asked about wether the jcb doing the recovery jumped the gun before waved yellows or something else happened...

Sutil saying that yellows were being waved at the time of Bianchi's accident. Tractor was out recovering Sutil's car.

Not sounding at all good for Bianchi at this stage.

I am astonished that the race was allowed to start without the medical helicopter in place and able to fly - I thought this was an absolute condition for an F1 race to go ahead.

Some criticism of race organisers - essentially Honda - being reported on Sky at the moment.

They have raised a sheet while they recover him. It looks pretty bad for Bianchi.
Pray to God he's ok

According to Sky (which I guess you've seen since posting), the helicopter was able to fly, but it was a medical decision to take him to hospital by road ambulance.

No way they were ever going to change the race start time - all that satellite time booked, TV etc etc.
