I think that's what the PR department think. "you cruzed it lad, don't make out is was a stunningly hard race"

At least Mansell had the good grace to complain about a gear knob falling off or some such.

That's a real shame - I'd have thought she was past the worst of it by now.

[Sidewaysbob]

Bad vibes

There's nothing official yet, but the word from the Spanish authorities is that they suspect it was heart failure.

So sad to hear about Maria del Vilotta.

Good to see Dario Franchitti leave hospital.

Shows how dangerous Motorsport is.

Came across this earlier on the BBC site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/14032335

Amazingly eventful race. They would never let them go round in conditions like that these days. Interesting looking back at the Hamilton Alonso battle too.

Some things never change though - Vettel screwing Webber, Vettel crying in to his helmet

Some thoughts on Maria..

Morning.

[JohnC]

Unexpected stuff turns up in strange places. I was watching Valvrave last night and saw somewhere familiar. I wonder if McLaren know they are working with the space Nazis in the future?

[zxcvbnm]

ahhhh....Sutil's mummy gave him a capri sun in his packed lunch

[gospvg]

Good luck Webber hope you get a flying start !!

[Bacon Horsemeat]

McLaren Technology Centre looks like the future, now.

[Shimmyhill]

If only they could design a car as good as the tech centre ehh ehh

[dino_jr]

Tomorrow is F1/BBC1, MotoGP/BBC2, Touring Cars/ITV4, then Bathurst 1000 highlights/MotorsTV. I may be in pants/on sofa the whole day...

[Dandy_Sephy]

Van de Garde fail

[SMD]

GROSJEAN!

[Sidewaysbob]

ohhh a race !!!

[zxcvbnm]

Looks like this was worth getting up for. Going tits up for the tyres already?!

[SMD]

Not sure who'll be more gutted, Hamilton or Mercedes. This is why the classic tracks are best tracks.

[Dandy_Sephy]

Chilton in 13th

Then he pitted, probably should have stayed out!

[SMD]

Mercedes
