Someone has revealed on twitter that Pirelli have bought their tyres from an external supplier.

My take away from that race.. Mercs can two stop on a hot track, overtaking Lotus (who are supposedly good on tyres . . with some help from safety cars)..

Too early to hope, but I think RB might just have a challenger..

Haha, Brawn saying this is why they needed to do the test. Great stuff

It couldn't of gone better from a PR point of view.

So for those who bang on about points proving who is better. Hamilton out qualified Rosberg by a huge margin, was outdriving him, out raced him, did more/better passing in more traffic.... but got demolished by points. Points doesn't prove ANYTHING about how well a driver has done in a particular race nor season.

As much as I like Rosberg, I feel worse for Hamilton than I feel good for Rosberg, Simple fact is if Pirelli weren't utterly incompetant Hamilton would almost certainly have won today and had more points at the other race he got the utterly absurd penalty for having to change parts due to a tyre destroying his car.... utterly absurd.

My wife wanted to do something with a jet wash, so the fact I was watching the last 6 laps was irrelevant so I missed it.

WIMINNNNNN

I have to say, Alonso does look superb with his new moustache.

Aaaand theres d'Artagnan.

So, the tyres. On the downside - they robbed us from seeing Hamilton win at home. On the plus side - they stopped us seeing Vettel win.

*derp*
Not sure why I added the mention of the tyres at the start there. Typed without thinking. Was meant to put car failures or something. No point editing it now since I've been quoted millions of times

Notice you were hiding all race until your bum chum got his slice of luck twice

There just isn't an up side to those tyres. Dangerous racing is not entertainment in anyone's book. How can the drivers get in a car with the possibility of that happening?

LOL!
Question to Webber "What happened to you?"

It is a bit like pulling a munter, you get laid but it wasn't all it is cracked up to be.

Rosberg needs to lay off the pies.

Erm? How?

Vettel's failed gearbox stopped us seeing Vettel win.

how did they stop us seeing Vet win? His retirement wasn't a tyre issue,

tires had nothing to do with vettel stopping.
