Fair play, mate.

But I can see Seb leading in to T1 (familiar sight), and no one being able to keep up with him through T2-9. He'll build up that nice comfortable gap over the first 7-8 laps and that'll be it.

Can't see there being a safety car, there's ample run-off all round.

Although he will have to deal with a lot of backmarkers, quite often!

Apart from that, I can't see much else being an issue.

Why not? Anything is better than "Turn 1".

And Brands Hatch has a "Graham Hill".

Looks a great track to drive, but I fear it won't be conducive to great racing because of dirt offline.

Awesome driving from Lewis in qualifying to almost beat Vettel. In car views show the Red Bull to have significantly more grip and also able to get on the power earlier out of corners, so kudos to Lewis for that performance.
Poor old Fernando doesn't stand a chance unless something unusual happens. He'll fight like he always does, such that the Championship isn't decided until Brazil, but to no avail as far as he's concerned unfortunately.

Is anyone here still going to claim Vettel isn't all that?

Hamilton was phenomenal too though. I mean really, him, Alonso and Vettel are the class of the field. They are the guys.

They mentioned it several times this weekend and at least once explained that the hill was made of fill, so "fill hill" was sort of a play on "Phil Hill".

I heard it was an electronic problem but didn't get any further than that. Most likely a potentiometer failure I would surmise.

At least it is a name that is appropriate for the first corner in more than one way. The first corner of the USA's first purpose built permanent GP track to be named after the USA's first world champion.

I wish a lot more tracks had their corners named rather than T1, T2 etc. Almost all the great corners have names with the possible exception of Turkey's T8.

I think most circuits do have names for every corner - it's just F1 that numbers them.

I have just checked out web sites for three of F1's more recent circuits namely COTA, Yas Marina and Budda Inrternational Circuit and none mention corner names although that does not mean they don't have names.

Literally anyone with balls could drive that Red Bull, Seb was taking so much time out of people in that last section because the car simply works better!

Not sure why Webber coulodnt really capitalise, but fair play to Lewis, the car looked perfect, am sure he is beginning to wonder, did anyone se Rosbergs onboard? That thing is a total dog!

I say 10 secs. Grosjean, Maldonado and Senna are in a bunch on the grid.

This is Judgement Day for any conspiracy theorists amongst F1 fans - will SV walk it, and the championship, or has Bernie got other plans, nudge nudge?

Do you think BCE uses 1 or 2 script-writers like the British or a committee like the Yanks?

I reckon Seb retires, and Alonso drives better than he qualifies (now there's a shock), and comes second. LH to win. Opens it up again.
