Interesting....one of the changes being introduced next year is wider tyres. This should lead to better tyre endurance and less need for tyre management/conservation.
That was a good race!

Interview with Ecclestone - As pointless as ever. The man is asked about 20 questions and barely answers two.
Why do they bother?
He's a pain and irrelevance now.
F1 is moving on and he will have to relent .. can't wait tbh
Hamilton throws his toys out of the pram over what seems to me as his own stupid behaviour.

It may well be (taken in isolation) something 'super funny'...... but during a press conference?

Probably not going to watch until later in the evening as i know the result thanks to the BBC blurting it out before i could switch channels.
You'll need to find a way of muting the TV before it starts!

I had literally woken up, reached over to the remote, pressed one to hear the words X has won the GP at...
Too late to do anything in my half awake state.
But I did manage to get these words out of mouth as I changed channel "Thanks BBC you f*****g piece of carp".
Hulkenberg's comment as he overtakes Bottas' Williams is a classic.
"See you later"

Gifted driver but lifestyle questions for the three pointed star.
Over the hill already Velvet?

He needs to shut his gob....boot could be on the foot next race 
Seems a bit of a non-story to me.
Qualifying, Channel 4 @ 6pm, though Q1 probably won't start until 7. It's from Mexico, the place that'll be behind a wall if Trump's elected!
Colourful language!
Someone insulted Alonso too
During free practice
Any ideas?
I'm still pissed at the engine blow up a couple of weeks ago...see he threw the winners cap on the table rather than pass it to Lewis, what a miserable **** he is 
I was so hoping that Ricciardo would have had the opportunity to pass Vettel. Really enjoyable driving from Vesty. 
Lewis had it pretty easy after the start and Nico was also in control. Unless something happens in next race to Nico, he has it in the bag and taking seconds is fine for him.

Nico was given the winner's cap by accident and threw it on the table when the mistake was noticed

I've seen footage of Hammy throwing a runner up cap at Nico
Reciprocal?

great editing ...not
There's something about Hammy I don't like
I like Nico - again - not sure why

we're opposites
I saw it earlier.
Q1 and it looks like rain.
Could make things interesting
Kvyat's becoming like Ralph Schuey.......he cannot drive an F1 car
Button 
Jens
Big chunk of time from the Mercs to the next team.
Aww Williams Just wish they could be more competitive.
Yep, I can't think what's gone so wrong. Like McLaren, they were never that bad
Good for Alonso in a Mac to get in to Q3 though
Wozzy
