New engine remap not quite working for Maclaren now they have banned the off throttle blown exhaust. Funny how they thought Red Bull would be more affected, yet there still on poll.

Not a bad performance from Di Resta (Scotland flag) lol

Di Resta is a real talent.

When he and Vettel were teammates at F3 level, it was Paul who was the champion.

Not be long before he will be showing his big cousin Dario Franchitti a thing or two. Dario should have made F1 too.

As for Webber on pole, there was a lot of talk that Vettel had mastered the technique of driving with the additional downforce provided by being on throttle. Obviously now that's limited it will be interesting if Webber can do it.

I've always liked Webber.

Vettel on top gear tomorrow night.

Good race. Great drive by Alonso.

Not a good day for the Brits.

Button will be angry.

Di Resta will be angry about his team making a mess of the stop. Need to see a replay of losing his nose. Not sure if he ran wide or had his nose chopped.

Hamilton was on fire. Lucky that the gravel has been removed after chucking it off twice. Would not be surprised to see the incident with Massa investigated. He did seem to push too much after braking a lot earlier.

Rules changed mid season.

Ferrari suspiciously quiet.

Ferrari win.

Red Bull - "Mark, please don't overtake Vettel."

That's his own teams fault.

Looks like they took too big a gamble of getting the car as light as possible to get up the field from the start.

According to Brundle and DC an extra 10kg of fuel costs 0.4secs a lap.
