Nope, no ads during the race and full coverage of all sessions and gp2 and 3. Plus the other cool channels, it's not a bad deal.

A buoy is a floating marker. It's pronounced basically the same as boy, the u creating a slight sound. So it means they will feel floated up or raised

You have it made then.. I have to sit though all the commercial and now that speed is going away at the end of the year GP2 I have a feeling will not get any coverage here in the states.. Along with several other series...

Webber had no KERS for the first 10 laps.

That would explain his rubbish start.

Brundle just said Webber had a software issue so wasn't able to do the clutch reset which as well as having no KERS for 20 laps is why he made another crap start.

Tyre strategy was interesting.
I wonder if someone at Ferrari will regret the 2nd pitstop of Massa.

I still can't understand what they were doing with Massa.

Webbers software issue is in his head.

I thought the tyres were perfect for the race as well, right amount of degradation and uncertainly which resulted in varying strategies and gambles and helped spice things up a lot.

Maybe they tried to keep up with Kimi but had to abort that plan due tyre wear. Or they thought that the gamble is not going to pay out.

Good race, loved the different strategies. Weird how some teams can make the tyres last and other just can't. Sutil's super softs were gone after a few laps while I expected him to gain some positions on them. Great that Raikkonen won, Red Bull seem fast on 1 lap, but strugle with racepace. Roll on Malaysia, I expect a Ferrari win there.

Yeah its really strange because Sutil drove so long on the harder compund that I thought he could easily make it on the Supersofts.

He might have but he was involved in a lot of battles in his last stint which would have just chewed them to pieces.

I guess it must have been a temporary issue with Sutil's tires, as he was able to stabilize his times after he lost position to Hamilton and Webber.

Also I'm a bit puzzled by Mercedes. Toto Wolf admitted tactical mistakes in the post race interview with German TV. But strangely he said, they think, it would have been better to run longer on the super soft option tire. Weren't the stops timed quite well? I remember the commentators saying that especially Rosberg's last lap before the first stop was already really slow. A longer 1st stint would just have cost them more track time in my opinion. That tactical analysis by Wolf is not filling me with faith in Mercedes.

I thought it was pretty obvious what they were doing with Massa... getting him out of the way of Alonso's race ;)
