JB apologized to Crashtor on twitter. It was pretty funny.
He did? well for someone who doesn't use Twatter, could you post it here ?
I don't use Twitter except to follow Formula 1. That way I don't spoil a recorded race. Then I can follow along after the race and see drivers reactions. So far it is working well.

How reliable are the graphics shown during races, speed, rpm, G's.. that sort of things?
Do the producers have a live feed of certain stats from the teams' telemetry data?

I agree with the rumours starting to circulate that Hamilton will join Ferrari next year, replacing Kimi.

However ...
Germany’s Sport Bild, however, claims that after Hamilton made advances towards Ferrari, Mercedes chairman Dieter Zetsche sought and received a personal assurance from his counterpart Sergio Marchionne that the Briton is not headed to Maranello.

Wolff agreed: “There is no offer from Ferrari for Lewis Hamilton — I know that he is staying with us.”

Nope, all too easy for Hamilton ... Vettel lost the plot as he is prone to do and lost 3rd for 5th place, Kimi did well for 2nd and Rosberg also lost the plot and yet still managed 3rd, not a bad spectacle, not the classic of last year by any stretch however.

Fascinating that no-one seems to be commenting on the race, maybe it's the Ferrari false dawn
