Are they allowed to artificially lay down rubber before a race? Would help in a few races.

Could do with Hamilton punting Vettel off, should set up the last race nicely.

 

[Intratech]

Come on Lewis! Let's have that German!

Yes, and they have been.

Its just an new track thing. Won't be a problem next year.

How long we expecting tyres to last? Sky coverage didn't really discuss it and I didnt watch practice sessions.

I would grin like a Cheshire cat if Hamilton took out Vettel

 

[Kenai]

Looked like Vergne tapped the rear of Button - hopefully not a puncture

I'd rather Hamilton get a win considering he had a couple of wins taken away from him by reliability problems. Take away at least something from this season.

All race. They will only change because they have too.

 

[Tenzo]

Hamilton and Vettel in another league.

 

[Skeeter]

I take back everything negative I said about turn 1

 

[utajoker]

button nearly back to his starting position.

 

[~Mike~]

Go Jenson!

 

[TaKeN]

Good race so far

 

[muon]

Thought the heat might cause even the harder tyres to deteriorate. But if they will last all race Hamilton must be favourite to win right now.

Hamilton loves sector 1
