Did i hear correctly, something about Hamilton making around 80 gear changes on his pole lap?, i know the rest of the field must be doing the same.. but that's still alot of gear changes.

While I can't verify this, it sounds about right. There are lots of turns at this track.

There are 23 corners to the track I believe. Even if each corner requires on avg. 2 gear changes (1 up, 1 down) that's 46. Odds are its an avg. of 2, making it 92 roughly.
 
Isn't the safety car coming in yet?

SC doens't come in until the backmarkers let go catch up to the end of the saftey car line.

The SC is too fast but F1 cars cant go slow at all without over heating :ouch:
It makes times like this awful.
 
Button almost collected Vettel back there.

I salute Pator. In the short time he was in the race, he drove an exemplary session.

Ricciardo getting pretty close to the win. 22 laps to go!
 
Schumi takes out Vergne. Go Ricciardo! Nice to see both drivers checking on each other. Dick Dastardly is such a decent chap.
 
A repeat from Schumacher there, thought Vergne was going to punch him for a second.

Another safety car....
 
Schumacher locked up and Vergne looked like he got pushed up and couldn't complete the pass on the car next to him. Who was that anyways? Was it the Sauber?
