"Maybe he shouldn't be thinking about my turbochargers" - Formula 1 2014

Absolutely! Lots of fun. Wish it wasn't summer break.

settling a bribery case with what's effectively a bribe is pretty smooth work

Well, nothing of note in this Grand Prix so far.

THEY'RE BOOING EEE JAY (I think).

“I have already expressed my regret about the incident but, after meeting with Toto, Paddy and Lewis today, I wish to go a step further and describe it as an error of judgement on my part.

“The number one rule for us as team-mates is that we must not collide but that is exactly what happened.

“For that error of judgement, I apologise to Lewis and the team. I also want to say sorry to the fans who were deprived of our battle for the lead in Belgium.

Jesus that was like pulling teeth, finally. I'm sure a lot of back room screaming had to happen for them to start doing reasonable PR

The Malady of Mercedes motors on then.

We'll forget about this in a week's time when Lewis has an "emotional" press conference about how Nico threatened his bulldogs. Toto & Paddy forget to tell the pit crew to put tyres on, Niki Lauda shouts German swear words at an imaginary parrot and Daniel Ricciardo starts googling "alain prost 1986".

!!!!!!! VETTEL LEAVES RED BULL !!!!!!!

seb u got fucken psyched out big time

Seb is such a spoiled brat. He's a damn good driver, but the old cars flattered him greatly.

So, he's off to Ferrari then? OH THE HILARITY.

Is he really going to a worse team? If so he's really throwing his toys out of the pram, so to speak. Ain't gonna be any better there next year.

Word on the street is that Seb goes to Ferrari, Ol' Hairy Eyebrows goes to McLaren. More hilarity ensures.

Button goes to retirement, I presume?

"Monsieur Button, welcome to ze Le Mans Retirement Home...I zee you know Monsieur Webber..."

Button would be a good commentator, I think. Though a Button and Webber show where they just clown all these guys would be so great. Not enough trash talk in F1.

ahahahahaha @takiinoue is the best of all Twitter accounts: https://twitter.com/takiinoue/status/517948222669877248

Prediction: this is going to be a MAD race.

(if there is a race)

I expect a short parade and partial points. Unfortunately.

"Marcus Spun Off Behind The Safety Car - The Caterham F1 Story"

Sorry to see Alonso crap out.

Glad to see a race instead of a parade.

young daniel lookin' racey out on the kerbs in this weather. it'll be podium or off backwards at 130R at this rate.

Glad to see a Mercedes parade instead of a race so far.

shitty end. Hope Sutil's okay.

Bianchi was apparently in the ambulance.

huh - they kept saying it was Sutil. Hope Jules is okay

Twitter reckons Bianchi hit the JCB recovering Sutil's car sideways.

Medical helicopter taking off from the circuit.

yikes.

Bianchi is unconscious as well.

People you'd least want conducting a podium interview after such a serious accident: Nigel Mansell.

fingers crossed he'll be okay.

Tough news to wake up to regarding young Jules.

Awful dictator spotted at Sochi, sitting next to Putin.

THEY LET PUTIN IN THE COOL DOWN ROOM, COME ONNNN

From what I've read I'm glad I skipped this one.

do we not have a 2015 thread?

Red Bull had the naming rights but then...

“I want the guy to be up my arse, up my arse and putting pressure on me"

The epic trolling of Kimi

So good

How did Fernando walk away from that? The safety of the modern F1 cars amazes me.
