We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Apparently also for all Virgin Media clients after 6AM Fri. 20th, including those who haven't subscribed to any of the 6 Sky Sport channels carried (1-4, News, F1, plus 1HD & 2HD for XL pacxkage clients).

Ring 150 and ask why, then... simple. Get 'more bang for your buck'. Unfortunately it's not simple. Sky won't give Virgin the F1 in HD. They do this along with other channels to try to move people over to Sky.

Are you sure that it's not because you're not on a Virgin Media XL package? I've just switched to Sky Sports F1, and... Sky Sports 1HD and Sky Sports 2HD. I am on an XL package subscription.

Hmm...judging by the stewards ruling, it would seem that Red Bull have an ingenious interpration of the wording of the rules. I guess the FIA will close that loophole off in time for the next race.

Live update from the BBC website; But we're hearing that the stewards have decided NOT to take any action against Red Bull as while they do not accept all of the arguments put forward by the team, they have concluded that as the regulation is written, the map presented does not breach regulations. Taken from here, the 12:09 entry

Great move by Jenson. Parked it on the apex so Hulkenberg couldn't undercut him back on the exit.
If Jenson can take Schuey quickly, he will be a factor for the win. Such is the dry pace of the upgraded Mclaren. The only question mark is if Mclaren have soved their degradation issues, but Jenson looks good so far.

Alonso is being canny, looking after his tyres while Vettel roots his while tucked up behind him.
I'm expecting Alonso to pull away towards the end of his stint.

Top three will need to pit to close off Perez undercutting them in the pits.

The Mclarens and Saubers looked great on the prime tyre in practices. Ferrari and Red Bull less so. This could be a pivotal part of the race.

Defininitely a vibration on Jenson's right front riding onboard. Doesn't seem to be affecting him though.
I think Vettel looks to be conserving his rubber for an attck in the last ten laps. But with him not having full power KERS, he'll struggle to overtake unless he does a bansai into the hairpin braking zone.

Actually, Vettel is right on the limit and occasionally over it to keep up.

Jenson is having to use noticeably less road than Alonso.

Totally illegal move. Passed off the circuit. The FIA passed a ruling earlier in the year to prevent passes like that happening.

20 seconds have been added to Vettel as a penalty 'drive through'
Was good to watch especially the last few laps. Pity about Hamilton!
