Rossi will almost certainly be in at Texas, anyway.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as ghoulish or anything, but who do we figure will start in Sochi for Marussia? Rossi or Stevens?

Nah, marussia will sell the seat to the highest bidder. The way the 3rd driver business seems to work in F1 is that the 3rd drivers pay just to be called "3rd drivers" or "test drivers". =To have a driving job in F1 in their resumes. The 3rd drivers only get to drive the cars though when the actual drivers are lagging behind on their payments and need some pressuring... When the actual drivers are not able to drive it is basically a lotterery who gets the drive...

E: actually I think it could be one of the ferrari prospects that get to drive the marussia. If I have not misundertood bianchi's seat is paid by ferrari and as such it is ferrari's seat. My "money" is on Raffaele Marciello.

I think the second image is actually slightly wrong, though. Should go a block further on the right side.

Green flags after the scene of the accident, that's how it's always done.

I guess. Seems awfully close/potentially confusing, though.

I won't have access to my wheel for the next two months, so I won't be available for any events until December.

Ratings are way up in the U.S. this year, at least, and the racing is as exciting as it's ever been.

Quote from Hyperactive :

Well apparently false starts are against the rules but if you false start just a little bit it is fine.

As for the magnussen penalty. Some little bit of consistency would be nice. For most of the time the drivers have been allowed to push others off the track without any consequence but sometimes it just happens to be worth penalty. Personally I think it is stupid that the drivers are allowed to do that for the most of the time. If you push someone off the track you either give up the position or get penalized. Shouldn't make it any different if it happens during braking or corner exit.

Either way the fia is only harming the racing. If we allow drivers to push others off the track we see less wheel to wheel racing because being on the outside is essentially going to be an offtrack. If you give random penalties for it then drivers will do it and we get these redonkulous situations where the positions are not decided on the track but after the race you get some random dice roll decision. If pushing other drivers off the road was forbidden we would see more wheel to wheel racing and two wide through corners because the car on the inside can not just ignore you or push you off the road.

Agree. Again.

Button IMO should have also been penalized if Perez hadn't come out of their clash in essentially the same position he entered it. Was lol'in at the Sky commentators' inability to understand why Perez was upset.

Some stuff from Portland, Maine:

The D5300 is the better camera.

New FFB feels awesome to me.
