If there was insurance on F1 vehicles.

Vettels premiums would be low yet someone like maldonado's would be quite high.

Lotus would have the highest premium Grosjean has destroyed cars this year too.

I wonder how irritating it must be to be a mechanic and engineer at Lotus.

They're probably so used to picking up after him, I'd bet they can get the car ready faster than any other team after an incident like that.

"Business is good since we're getting a ton of experience with the car and how to reassemble it on a regular basis."

Nice lock up from Grosjean.
 
Oooh, Hamilton with a big moment there.

A group of Mr. Fix its.
 
Awesome, Romain made it to Q2.
 
I love how the Force India brake energy harvesting whotsit sounds like a pennywhistle.
 
Heard no complaints over radio from Kimi or Alonso.

That new rear wing must be doing its job proper:

That time from Daniel :D
 
So Mag is out and Sky is guessing problems...?

Edit: so is poor Vergne
 
Awesome, Romain made it to Q3. A good sign for Lotus. :D

Yeah they've been steadily improving since last gp, their main issue is the race and lasting long enough to finish it seems.

EDIT: More issues for Vettel

LOL Vettel.
 
Lost 2nd gear in the pitlane then lost all drive at turn 3 apparently.
 
This'll probably mean a gearbox penalty for tomorrow.
 
Well RBR will have penalties very soon due to going over the limit of PU and Gearbox
 
Any ideas what happened to Massa?

He's not as good as he and others thought he was. Just like people thought this was Rosberg's even though Lewis has done this last minute grab for the gold plenty of time prior to today. Things I've learned from F1 of current era, never count out Lewis in good equipment or even decent, never count out a Vettel pole when he has the best car even if Q1 and Q2 say otherwise, and don't ever count out Alonso in most things.

Now we're learning that DR shouldn't be counted out either.

Also Massa usually buckles and has done so since 2010...
 
Bottas and Grosjean are the standouts from today.
 
Fine work again from Ricciardo. And yes, nice to see a Lotus up there.

Edit: Wow, Bottas 0.8 secs faster than Massa.
 
Nico looked to have it but Lewis had a great last lap to snatch it off him there.
 
Rosberg's clearly getting irritated by Hamilton pipping him every round. They barely looked at each other.

Just always has that extra 5% over Nico. It could be a very hard season for him if that's how it stays.

Watching the post quali press conference is funny cause the tension can be seen for miles.

Interesting to see how these two deal with the pressure. If Lewis continues to outperform Nico, then it's all about how Nico deals with the fact that he's coming second in a car that's one second per lap faster than any other team and possibly more during the race. It would get hugely frustrating for anyone in the position of driving by far the fastest car out there but always being the bridesmaid.
