    So am I the only one that it appears won't be able to watch anything until the race Sunday? It's all aired on special ESPN channels I don't have.

    Mike Hawthorn was the first British driver to become world champion.
    Sadly he didn't live long enough to enjoy it.
    Health problems forced him ti retire, and died in a car crash just a few months later.

    Just reminds me to dump all of those otherwise worthless ESPN channels. Helpful in this situation though.

    At least NBC would air qualifying at another time if they didn't move it to CNBC, and then usually re-air qualifying again before the race.

    The FIA examined the wheels before anyone could complain and found them legal though ....

    On the wheels, Mercedes have come up with a clever heat dissipation design that increases the surface area heat can radiate off of. That's how they solved their tire blistering problem.

    Credit where credit is due.

    Vettel called to the stewards for failing to slow under red flag conditions.

    Right. There's already talk of a possible grid place penalty for this.

    The FIA have already declared them legal despite preventing red bull doing EXACTLY the same thing a few races ago..... calling them out won’t help, they get paid far too much by Mercedes to rock the boat.... the fix went in in 2013 ready for the hybrid era, and hasn’t changed since. Just the same as the limp waisted response to the tyre debacle earlier in the year, and illegal tyre tests, and of course, all the penalties Elton and co should have had were they treated the same as everyone else but didn’t get...FARCICAL
