09:30pm - One Hour Highlights - One.
That's 17 hours after the race has ended and only an hour of highlights... thanks Rupert (who plans to stick his worldwide headquarters at Ground Zero).The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I suppose, this is what Vettel was hinting at in his jibe at Ecclestone. Money is slowly excluding fans from F1 like it did for boxing where it killed it and took it away from the masses completely. Who really knows who the current Boxing World champion his? Who knows how good he really is. Is he celebrated like the champion of old like Mohammed Ali, Rocky Maciano, Mike Tyson etc. Boxing now happen in obscurity and few cares who the Boxing world champion his because he is not exposed to the masses as such not really appreciated by the masses.
This is where F1 one is headed at the current direction it is going.

Just for the record Marciano and Ali were in different eras, as was Tyson. In the USA in order to see "The Rumble in the Jungle" (Ali vs Foreman 1974) you had to go to a theatre or arena to watch it on closed circuit TV (before cable). I saw it live at the San Diego Sports Arena, for about $10 a seat. But since than it has become much more expensive. In the early 60s the fighters all fought 3 times a year, even the heavyweights, so you had a good idea of how they stacked up against each other. However Boxing is a different kettle of fish than auto racing, and I think it is not an appropriate comparison.
May the forza be with you

I have a feeling there will be quite a few donkeys this weekend.
1. Mercedes for sending their drivers out in FP2 on wrong tires.
2. Nasr for a stupid error.
3. Marshals for taking ages to remove Button's car and not managing to do it by the end of the session. Should only take a minute or two.
4. Maldonado, of course.
Meeke had a big gap to Rossel after stage 3 (20 sec) at stage 4 had a puncture and now the gap to Rossel is just 2 sec Gryazin strangely slow,anybody now why?...
