Sounds a lot like Malaysia '13 to me, with actually some extra rubber on track!
Oh that blows. Should be far more interesting than Bahrain though.
There isn't even a car flying over the fence. 
That'd be a lame jinx. Vettel is due to dice for victory for once.
And even better, Hamilton came up again with accusations how Vettel is not on his and Alonso's level. So, there's some pride at stake there. Let the racing do the talking. 
Hamilton's gonna be right on it as well. The tires and fairly cool conditions suit Merc and they've got a mighty top speed advantage over Vettel. I really hope for a fascinating race for victory.
ohhh brilliant. Ricciardo turned the wick up on Vergne and even on Kimi.
I distinctively remember Kimi saying he's not driving next year (2010) without a winning car. Well, does he want more winning car as compared to commorodary. Surely I think he wants more and more winning car. In fact he probably doesn't even take anything else in consideration (unpolitical person).
Keep in mind that he will be the oldest driver on the grid as well. So he wouldn't stay there for awfully too long, which would work great for Sebastian. This would give chance to Hulkenberg to hitch a ride with Lotus and finally get out of the 2nd class cars to start shinning. And also Bottas could then move out of Williams. It's a win-win situation, very exciting.

I also agree it's a good decision by Mark. Either he knows RedBull is going to decline with 2014 rules, or it's just the whole situation with Vettel is getting over his head, second of which is more likely one I guess. You could argue that Vettel's got the better of him, which might be true, still though you never know if new rules could suit Mark better.
Regardless of that he's 36 and it's the perfect time to make the switch in his age and with Porsche just making the return. He will be very respected and noticed among the new community, which he was once a part of.
What will Kimi do now, what will Iceman do now is the wonder. What will Torro Rossos do. This is going to be a brilliant couple of races ahead of us.

You need to be recruited by NDR, right now. 
It's easy to know in hindsight. Of course it looked bad, just not THAT bad. Pointless argument. He was very successful and it just reminds us how very badly things can go. I hope his family can recover from this. Very sad thing to witness.
Nah it didnt. I guess we just got used to drivers getting away from that and worse sort of accidents.
I'm in absolute disbelief about this accident. It didn't look that bad. And I think drivers door is even on the opposite side of the impact. RIP.
a lol you should hear tuned up Nissan GTR engine to 15k revs 
Yea, gotta be that. Beemer took all round podium the last race.

Why is suddenly Beemer so slow in DTM now. Like all beemers out in Q1. DTM has secret ballast system between rounds?
I've never seen Lotus criticize anyone about anything (don't even recall them criticizing Grosjean after everything he did, nor any of their competitors) and the first time they're doing it they might just have a point when they point out how Pirelli is starting to change the game in favor of those who whined.
"This is exactly what they did in the last few races of last year. They brought harder and harder tyres and we just ended up doing one stop."
That was exactly what was happening last year and Vettel was then winning more and more. Let me remind you, this year Vettel was the first one to cry about the Pirelli tire!
"And last year they said they didn't want to interfere in the championship so they took conservative tyres, but I never really understood what that meant."
Personally, yea like hell they didn't interfere. They interfered more and more to side with RedBull. Keep the game fair from start to finish or we might as well bring back Birdgestone.

Bottom line, Pirelli should butt out already. It's not their job to favor ones above others. Their job is to make drivers stop twice in pits on non-abrasive tracks and three time on abrasive tracks for new rubber and that should have been clear a long time ago.

Phil, I'm quite sure you misread 1st sentence. Re-read it again. 
Interestingly, Vergne gets one good result and instantly Helmut Marko and the whole press hails him as the next star..
I took some stats out and Ricciardo beat him 15:5 in quali and 13:7 in races last year. This year Ricciardo is leading him 4:3 in quali, but now loosing 3:4 in races, so it's first time ever Vergne is leading something. This battle is finally developing.

Whatever.
And to lack of high-speed corners, in particular long high-speed corners, aka Maggets, Beckets, Stowe etc.

What karma are you talking about?? Hulk was never involved in an incident prior to this and I still haven't seen a replay of it so can't talk about what happened in particular incident, but for sure it's not karma.
