I half expect to see Alonso at McLaren next year. He has appeared to be slightly 'off his game' the last couple of races.
I think it's ridiculous that some of the top 10 teams (allegedly) in world motorsport have to take on a driver who pays for his seat - it's meant to be the pinnacle isn't it?

Interesting point Tim; I think Ferrari would fight pretty hard to keep Alonso next year, though he is alleged to be McLaren's target for 2015. Ferrari's strategy for 2014 seems to be that fielding 2 tried and tested fast drivers gives them a much better shot at the constructors' championship, if not at challenging Vettel for the drivers'. For 2015 at McLaren, much depends on how Button goes next year; if he (and/or the car) is lacklustre, I would expect him to retire, leaving room for Alonso plus whichever young(er) gun has the seat. I'm not sure Alonso would fancy trying his luck as a team-mate against a hot-shot like Magnussen, especially if he replaces Perez next year and has a year's worth more experience of the car. If the car is competitive and Button does well, I think he'll want (and probably get) 1 last season. I think Alonso would far rather have Button as a team-mate, so that may play a part.
I can see why people are dredicting Alonso going to McLaren, but I personally doubt it - too much uncomfortable history there.

I do think that Alonso going to McLaren is a bit of a stretch but he's given the impression of falling out of love with Ferrari recently and that's the only place I could imagine him going at present. Mind you, until Newey leaves Red Bull, anywhere else is going to be relatively second division.

It will be interesting, but I fear RBR will still be the team to beat by some distance... ...although Adrian Newey has thrown the rest a bone - "Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey has admitted his team has had to compromise the development of its 2014 car in order to make sure of retaining the title this year"If you believe him, that is.

Newey is just like sir Alex. Doesn't matter what happens at the start of a season 5 games / drives in and he's proving he's the best!

Newey is just like sir Alex. Let's hope Adrian chucks a steering wheel at Vettel's head and demands his sacking pretty soon then...

Does anyone know what time the highlights will be on BBC of this weekend's race? Presumably quite late on Sunday night...? Qualifying at 18:00, race at 19:00 according to this but I assume more detail will appear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/17238688

The BBC website only appears to give detail for the races that have already run. Helpful

SUN 17 NOV 22:25 BBC One The US Grand Prix - Highlights Highlights from the Circuit of the Americas, Texas, the penultimate race of 2013. Hope this is as good as last year's race. Even half as good will do.

Putting in a search for Lewis Hamilton's helmet must be fraught with risks, especially on a work computer.
I can only find the one for Monaco with caricatures of him and his ex on the back. What should I be looking for?

Thanks. I feel dirty now (and not just because I've been on Twitter :D).
