    The director is a clown, why aren't they showing us a proper reply of how the accident happened.

    Thought all the cars had on-board now. Doesn't look to me like there was a touch, Kimi's tyres would've been even colder after being off-track as well.

    They have onboard from every car, so why aren't we being shown alonsos on board, or another car that would have been beside/behind both cars

    Wonder if any Alonso on board camera. Would have been good. Does look like Alonso tapped Kimi or Kimi lost it himself. Likely Alonso tipped him id say

    I doubt absolutely all cameras are recording absolutely all the time. The trackside ones are more likely to be "on" at all times.

    Don't think that's an issue. It's about the normal speed for the Honda engine

    Button likely out as well! Sickner after changing essentially your entire engine

    Might be time for McLaren to just start re-writing their software from scratch. It's insane what's going on with Button in particular.

    You'd wonder how long Alonso would have lasted had he not crashed

    Jaysus, 3 world champions out! This is lining up to be the usual snooze fest. :(

    Seems more of the ongoing issues affect Button more than Alonso. Even pressing the pit-limiter seems to break Button' car.

    Not seeing much of any of the top 10 cars

    All kind of spread out

    Surely the race leaders should be pitting soon

    At the moment might be the only interesting left in the race. If there's a mistake or it brings leaders closer

    I'm guessing that that Safety Car stint means that there will be no fuel worries? I'm wondering because Hamilton seemed to back off for a bit, but has turned the burner back up again. Another possibility is that Rosberg has been pushing harder than necessary, and is paying for it in tire wear now. So I expect he'll be in well before Hamilton.

    Kvyat's car just isn't doing the job, he's going backwards ...

    I'm quite enjoying this race: not all that action-packed, but the tactical stuff going on behind the scenes is interesting. For example, I want to see how Vettel comes back after that disastrous pit stop. I didn't think Rosberg would be quite that fast straight after his pit stop.
