Just heard that Sid Watkins has died. Truly sad to see him go. A pioneer of safety, he did so much for the sport and a thoroughly nice bloke apparently.

Perhaps now he'll get to go fishing with Ayrton :icon_sad:

RIP Sid.

Mega stuff from Lewis and Pastor.

Lewis looking steady and keeping Vettel around 1.5 seconds behind him but his gear box goes and race over. Alonso is in 4th, the title will be heading his way this year.

 

[Kenny]

Alonso battling with Pastor..........will it end well

 

[Kenny]

Safety car on the way....but nothing to do with Pastor

 

[Kenny]

Pastor looks like he needs to retire..........The F1 gods love Alonso right now

 

[Kenny]

Safety car back out as Schumi smacks out Vergne

 

[Kenny]

Vettel, Button and Alonso on the podium

Means Alonso has a 29 point lead on Vettel now.

Pastor looks like he needs to retire..........The F1 gods love Alonso right now

Pastor was way back in the pack when he retired due to the safety car.

Lewis wins the title if he had won today. Thankfully....

Pastor was way back in the pack when he retired due to the safety car.

.

Just before the safety car Alonso was starting a battle to get past Pastor, hence the gods loving him comment.

 

[Nando]

Pastor shouldn't have murdered his brakes then.

Alonso up to third in all time podiums list with 81.

 

[Carrotdude]

Lewis really hasn't had much luck this season! I hope Alonso wins the title as opposed to Vettel getting 3 in a row.

 

[Wombat del combate]

Schumacher ten-place grid penalty.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Lewis to Mercedes then

 

[Kenny]

Hamilton signs 3 year deal with Mercedes!

Perez on his way to McLaren and I guess Schumi it is retirement number 2.

 

[Nando]

Massa looks like he's staying, which gives weight to Vettel to Ferrari for 2014.

Surprised Ferrari let Perez go to McLaren, he looks special.

If I controlled one of the top teams I'd be signing Di Resta. I like him a lot.
