No track invasions thank goodness.

I think racing was the winner today ... now lets get the fuck out of Dodge city before it all kicks off.

the crowd doesn't sound happy

[myoozikk]

Not sure how much I'm loving the total tyre lottery every race. They seem to have a 5p operating window that moves every race.

[Halkyon]

It's such a dissapointment when they cut back to blandman and Hill. Ergh.

[roskelld]

Driver of the day? Kimi, DiResta? Vettel?

[kiroquai]

Odd result. Complete about face from previous.

Rosberg probably going to take a penalty, dodgy stuff although he did do it to two drivers who I've seen do the same before. Still, not on and deserves to be penalised.

[gospvg]

Lets play the Kimi word game .... how many word will kimi us in the press conference .... i think it'll be 15

5

[jonamok]

19.

Driver of the day - Kimi, villains of the day - Rosberg & Mclaren pitcrew

[Sidewaysbob]

Vettel didn't have much to trouble him,

Kimi drove a stormer

Di Resta picked the fights he could win,

so Di Resta for me for losing a whole session, qualifing with style and getting a solid top ten

Raikkonen/Grosjean.

[jonamok]

Kimi talking up a streak - clearly didn't work hard enough on track. ;-)

[gospvg]

I counted 100+ words Kimi very talkative !!

[Sidewaysbob]

That's a novel for Kimi !!!!

[myoozikk]

For sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure,

[roskelld]

DiResta impresses me a lot with his cool headed style; theres a question of his aggressiveness though. Sometimes I'd like to see him push other drivers a bit more. He wasn't fighting Webber before and it would have been nice to see him make the take a bit more of a challenge, even at least to ensure the Redbull took a dirty and irregular line just in the hope of causing a mistake. I don't want to see him take unnessasery steps, just to have a bit of aggression.

Man does Grosjean look happy. Awesome race from him. It's been coming since Oz and I'm glad it's finally paid off with a well deserved podium.

[SMD]

At least we're live next race on the BBC.

[roskelld]

Champagne? Is that allowed?

[Sidewaysbob]

Should they be openly drinking that fizz in Bahrain ?

[gospvg]

3 weeks gap till the next race

[Marmite]

My god this Sky post-race coverage is dull. Who the hell wants to hear from these Lotus/Renault reps? I want to know what Hamilton is saying about the McLaren shit-stops, what Rosberg has to say about his dangerous moves, etc.

[roskelld]

The Sky guy (still don't know his name) really lacks confidence and bumbles so much. His constant laughing feels more like nerves than humour.

Funny looking Ant.

[myoozikk]

Yeah it's pretty dire isn't it.

George's constant mugging to camera does my head in as well.

[Sidewaysbob]

I don't see him making it to next season. and i suspect hill will "retire" after the year.

Would Jake come over once the Olympics are over ?

[myoozikk]

Yeah I would imagine it'll be a different situation for jake post Olympics.

[Sidewaysbob]

i wonder what Kubica is up to today

[SMD]

Heh, that was funny. Sky bigging up Raikkonen's performance and he's like "meh, not happy"

[curium]

i wonder what Kubica is up to today

Good point. What's the official position?

[myoozikk]

Finally some driver interviews, god this coverage is crap

[Velse]

'No celebratory icecream?'

'...'
