Tomorrow will be slightly warmer overall, but although the low temperature will be higher Sunday there will be partly cloudy conditions so race day temperature will be slightly milder than today and track temperature will be in the low to mid 30's tomorrow the track temperature will ramp up. However since qualifying is at 15:00 the track will start cooling off and get faster as the session continues.

Was that through the normal Sky coverage or do you mean via an American broadcaster?

We get it via Sky.

But it has been said that each track is responsible for the sound at the venue . That is also a reply I got from an E-Mail I sent FOM.

Yeah, let's not revive that whole debate.

If Rosberg wins the championship I think I'm just going to go offline for a few weeks...

I thought the moderators here are expected to maintain a certain level of behavior. Didn't know those standards are now lowered. Sad.

If getting lucky at the start was anything, Alonso should have won many a championships. It's a pity that is not considered a great racing ability due to many mechanical elements playing a part, rather than out and out driver skills.

I was wondering, what was the next problem that Lewis was going to hit. A Fuel injection system. I am not let down.
