A couple of interesting things being reported by SKY during FP1... Firstly, according to German Autosport magazine, Ferrari have said they'll supply Toro Rosso for 2016 but not Red Bull. Secondly, Renault are now rumoured to be turning their attention to the Red Bull team as opposed to Lotus. As for FP1, a support truck leaked Hydraulic fluid all over the track causing the session to be reduced to just an hour Will wait and see if Joe Saward has anything to say about the engine and team rumours. Update - The Renault/Lotus deal seems still to be on. Brundle also says one option for RB is to stick with Renault for 2016.

The Bitumen run off is there for safety, but I agree, gravel or something to stop them or at least slow them down is better.
I like the current concept but like always there are many unintended consequences. If RBR pull out - I doubt they will, but if they do - there will be a lot of soul searching within the sport to do.
I'll continue to watch it because I always have and I love it nevertheless, but I know many others will loose interest. They need to remove the teams and their profit potential from the decision making process.

That is one dull circuit - its just miles of grey fencing.
Managed about 10 minutes, just can't see the attraction anymore.

I do think that the BBC should perhaps dial down the John Button praise a notch.
John did indeed seem like a nice bloke in F1 circles but I do recall that his name was not always mentioned so favourably in the rally-cross world.
Gone Audi mad!

They should stick the f1 engines in a btcc car, that would make the best fan spectacle ever. 200+ mph on short circuits with totally committed but loony drivers ready to swap paint anywhere anytime!

If he broke the throttle, he must have been pushing too hard...
I'll get my coat.

Hamilton's overtake was shown; it was when Rosberg broke his throttle. Hamilton's pass wasn't shown 'live' on SKY. They did however, replay it half a dozen time after it'd happened. I'm sure the Beeb and SKY use the same TV feed....
