Great race and good to see the Hamilton/Rosberg friendship blossom.
Love to be a fly on the wall in that team meeting.

I'm sure he was hoping for a puncture. Friends or not - when competing for a 2-way world title (unless DR keeps winning), there's no doubt it'd cause some disputes. I agree though, I used to love the Senna/Prost days and I fist pumped my fucking television when Lewis' tyre popped and it kinda ruined Rosbergs race as well. Love it - as long as it's DR winning, I don't care. Also good to see Bottas taking Kimi's spot in the Finn department. Hope Kimi comes back this half of the year though, been kinda missing him with his poor form but I did know that Alonso would give him a good running, just not that bad.

Away in Alice visiting the Mrs so it is hard to keep up with it all, the title is heating up again.

The race wasn't that great anyway. A little exciting at the end but overall a pretty stock standard one.

Fuck yes!! I think this is great news. I knew a typhoon was coming to the driver lineup (pun intended).

I can understand Alonso leaving he went to Ferrari to win championships and Ferrari over the past few seasons seem to be slipping further behind and he is getting closer to the end of his carter so he can't just wait for them to reclaim their form. I guess he sees Mclaren reclaiming theirs when they switch to Honda engine next year rather than Ferrari reclaiming there's.

Vettel to Ferrari is a bit odd it is a great name that most want to race for but I'd back RedBull to out perform Ferrari next year.

Next season could definitely be interesting if RedBull, Ferrari and Mclaren close on Mercedes since all four teams will have a bunch of quick drivers in them. Of course it could turn out a dud and just have one team dominate.

Yeah - Alonso deserves a better car... Ferrari as you'd know have been ordinary since Raikkonen won. Ferrari have been chasing Vettel for a couple of years (so it's been on the cards) and it'd be great if Alonso could win another championship in a Honda McLaren which bought Senna two world titles. That's his dream apparently (winning 3 like Senna). But like you said, if RB, Ferrari and McLaren close up to Mercedes, it'd be awesome... that's the main reason why I like these sorts of changes as it mixes up the field. Ferrari are on more of a long term strategy to get back on top as well... so it may not be a few years until we see that (if we see it at all). With all that said, Vettel and Raikkonen are friends as well... so they'd probably partner up better.

So who's partnering Alonso at McLaren? I haven't read into that yet.

[WalrusKing]

I've read nothing official but it seems Magnussen would be inline to stay over Jensen since he has been infront of Jensen this year and of course is much younger.

[GasClown]

Yeah that'd be my thoughts as well - feeling a bit sorry for Button, being left in limbo like that... he was no doubt thinking of retiring soon anyway.

[GasClown]

Well that turned out to be sad... hope Bianchi is okay. Didn't sound good with him smashing into one of the service trucks/machines. Got that funny feeling.

[Dragonmyballs]

Indeed you know when they don't show it or a replay despite having 3 cameras pointing at that corner. Must not be good just have to wait and see now.

[GasClown]

Not good news unfortunately - he's suffered severe head injuries from that crash.

[GasClown]

Here's the video on the crash Drags. Pretty disturbing as a warning.

[GasClown]

So sad... http://www.bbc.com/s...rmula1/29521187 I think he'll be a vegetable, at least, that's how I understand it.

[Axe99]

Very sad news indeed, always horrible when things like this happen.

[Dragonmyballs]

I seen that video last night no wonder they chose not to show it on TV. As it says to early to tell how he will turn out have to wait and see very unlucky and sad at the same time.

Ripper ending to Bathurst. Watched the last hour of it - nearly fell off the lounge it was that intense.
