    For Christ sake, ask Vettel to stop beating the dead horse. It´s already bad to loose the development race and the guy keeps throwing points down the toilet.

    Another season like this and he´ll end up driving a McLaren, the team of "has beens that pretend they still matter". I hope that the spanking he´s getting wakes him up... and that the new guy is REALLY good.

    What a putz! And ok, no free practice coverage...but I can’t even watch qualifying for my home race...F1 and tv coverage in the US is a joke!

    Pours? It's a freakin Sunami of screw ups.He will most likely also end up at Sauber before long. He doesn't deserve to drive for Ferrari any more.I really hope that Kimi can spank him in the last races.

    You don't get the ESPNs? Because they're showing all the sessions. Aside from thechannel jumping, coverage has generally been pretty comprehensive (and commercial free)

    Seb loses the race before the practices are even done. It's sad, but I can't help laughing.

    Yeah, i still think Seb is a good driver but it is clear lately that neither he nor the car are on Par with Hamilton and Mercedes. Why that is re the car is an interesting question (FIA interference re the engine, the tires magically being unable to work though they worked early in the year, some development that didn't go off, etc.?), but i do think it is clear that Seb has felt under pressure to do too much in light of the quality of the team and this has really screwed him up.

    Looks dry and the bulk of the rain is in the Gulf and appears not to be heading towards Austin.

    I'd like to say I think Vettel should be left alone, and just do what he is paid copious amounts of cash to do, drive to win, it ain't over yet.

    Seb and Ferrari were on top of their game in Spa! Downhill from then on.

    Oh yes it is. I'd bet a very large sum of money with anyone foolish enough to bet someone other than Elton will be champion this year.

    Seb has made at least 4 major unforced errors this year, and the team more than that. This is not World Championship form when the likes of Mercedes exist.

    It looks like HAM had a mega sector two time going then backed off right at the end of the FP3 session. Ominous . . .

    It's almost as bad as when we watched Seb win 4 titles in the RedBull and you knew who would win before you turned on the TV.

    It's almost as bad as when Schumacher won 5 of his titles in the home teams car, but it was 5 boring years, where you didn't have to turn on the TV to know who was going to win.

    Is Hamilton run any better or worse? No, it's the same. There is something wrong with a sport that has produced 4 or 5 year winning streaks for one driver to dominate without even needing to watch the races to know who is going to win. Its been 15 years of this pattern in F1.
