I've not read all the previous posts, but they've just announced on French TV that McLaren pilots for next year will be Hamilton and Rosberg, Kova is going to drive a Williams.

Is it for sure ?

Anyway, Renault's CEO is complaining because they're not first, and because the grid is kinda reversed from Valencia. He means some teams could have cheated. When will CEO understand that a car can be a dog at Valencia or Monaco and very fast in Spa, or vice-versa.

should receive a penalty for his first lap.
Didn't even try to stay within the circuit.
Was planning to go full throttle away from the circuit towards eau rouge

Is this Kimi? What about the other drivers that went wide? Taking the wider, dirtier line and not gaining an advantage. Can't see it.

I think most drivers plan full throttle into, through and after Eau Rouge :P

Webber is in good position, 5th behind 3 pilots who are predicted to stop on the 10th lap, he could win.

Kimi went into turn 1 in 4th, came out in 3rd, after the crash he was in 2nd. I didn't see him overtake anyone on the track, but saw him run wide a few times. So how did he get to second behind the SC?

You all may remember me wanting to write an F1 app for the iPhone.

I am still learning coding in Objective C very well, however upon seeing the F1 official app I have changed my app idea around.

I am currently following the race using it, and it is pretty slick. Like an advanced graphical version of the timing on Formula1.com and a crap justin.tv link
