His use of coarse language was particularly distasteful.

Why am I only discovering the BBC live feed now?

http://www.bbc.com/sport/live/formula1/32542940

quote:

"The car was feeling really good - I started with more front end than Nico," adds Hamilton. "In the middle stint I took it easy on first few laps out - after the virtual safety car I was able to push and get the gap out again."

David Coulthard asks him "You must feel sorry for Nico?"

"Why would I feel sorry for Nico," he says with a smile.

quote:

A nice moment from Romain Grosjean after securing his first podium finish in two years.

"I was crying on the last lap," he says. "It was hard to see the apex on every corner."

Pirelli admit that the expected life of the tire was 40 laps.

Seems pretty biased that many commenters are talking about how the glorious Scud pushed the tire to its limits and got what they deserved when actually it was clearly just Pirelli making a lovely tire.

If Vettel hadn't ballsed up qualifying he wouldn't have needed a risky strategy to finish third. His outburst is the result of a guilty conscience.

"How many laps was I missing? Not many," he said. "Things like that are not allowed to happen. If it happens 200 metres earlier, I'm not standing here now.

"I'm at 300kph stuck in Eau Rouge. I don't know what else needs to happen.

"Upsetting is that one thing is the result, you know this is racing, for sure we deserved to finish on the podium, but the other thing is if this happens earlier then…

"You know [sighs]… It's the sort of theme that keeps going around, nobody is mentioning, but it is unacceptable."

"I think it was but what's the answer? Same as every time – 'yeah, there was a cut, debris, maybe something was wrong with the bodywork, maybe the driver went wide' – bullshit.

"If Nico tells us he didn't go off the track, he didn't go off the track. Why should he lie to us?

"Same with me, I didn't go off the track. It's just out of the blue the tyre explodes. As I said, if this happens earlier… I think we need to speak to each other. It's probably not as bad as it was at Silverstone, but it's not acceptable."

40 laps of which circuit? They surely don't make Mediums to last the entire of Spa.

Decided to dick around and see who's teammate is beating them the worst.
Did this as percentage of better teammate's points.

Valtteri Bottas 96%
Nico Hülkenberg 96%
Daniel Ricciardo 89%
Nico Rosberg 88%
Jenson Button 55%
Kimi Räikkönen 51%
Marcus Ericsson 44%
Carlos Sainz Jr. 35%
Pastor Maldonado 32%

And Pastor is the worst. Then surprisingly, Sainz Jr.

\/ I would say Massa equal in points to Kimi makes Kimi the worst.

I've gotten so many hate messages from the Rosberg fans in this thread that I've lost count. Really nasty stuff too. I don't talk about it because that's what they would want but their weak rear end mind games won't keep me from winning the WPC
