Hamilton overtakes Sutil, Sutil gets it back with DRS, then Massa overtales Hamilton!
Massa passes Sutil now.
Grosjean is driving brilliantly, not just in this race. Ahead of Massa now.
Vettel 31 seconds ahead of Webber. :blink:
Alonso, Vergne and Massa having fun. :lol:
Felipe Massa will drive for Williams next year, alongside Valtteri Bottas.
Maldonado :wave:
Though I expect Maldonado to go to Lotus.
Looks like Perez is OUT of McLaren.
To be replaced by Kevin Magnussen :blink:
Heikki Kovalainen will probably drive the Lotus for the last 2 races.
they asked Schumacher to come back for the last 2 races apparently. he said no :lol:
Shame because he's far more entertaining than Button.Quote:

I think it's very harsh on Perez. Button is rather lucky he is old and British. Allegedly.
I think it's harsh on Perez too. I like him a lot, but it's a cut-throat business.
Button, I think, gets a pass because his feedback and relationship with engineers is apparently much better. And he does have almost twice as many points as Checo. Though, for McLaren, both totals are woefully low.
I suppose they can't really afford to have another season like this due to how much more money the other teams will get. Not sure I would have binned him after one year though, where drivers are asked to be a lot more circumspect in what they can do - something Perez isn't exactly in tune with (Suzuka last year springs to mind :lol:).
Magnussen has done really well in the other formulas though, so it could end up being a wise decision. Once he starts, so he'll finish. Sorry.
:lol:
If Magnussen wasn't so highly rated I'm sure they would have given Checo another year, but he's supposed to be super, super quality.
All he needs to do is match Jenson, really. At least in qualifying, which has never been Button's strength.
WTF?
I did have a further think about the Perez decision. McLaren aren't the brightest at publicity - Mexican GP next year, get rid of Mexican driver. :doh:
Qualifying for the American GP on soon.
It's likely we won't see a Mexican Grand Prix until 2015 at least, it's been removed from the provisional calendar.
Has it? :lol:
Me. :haha:
Hamilton fastest in Q1.
Sutil, Maldonado, Van Der Garde, Pic, Bianchi and Chilton drop out.
Q2 underway.
Vettel fastest in Q2.
Ricciardo, Di Resta, Button, Rosberg, Massa and Vergne drop out.
Bottas. :bow:
Perez and Kovalainen. :bow:
Button. :lol: Three place grid pelanty for him too.
Rosberg. :doh:
Maldonado whining about someone in the team messing with his car temperature. STFU.
Q3 time. :popcorn:
Maldonado is a bellend.
