    What Restarts?

    He did do ok and get one fastest lap out there. not exactly easy this stuff.

    Hamilton set 2/3 in a row and max didn't get close to either.

    If we get going these cars have been cooked several times so I fear for engines.

    The best course of action for Nico is to do as little as possible and hope for half points, giving him an unexpectedly large lead going into Abu Dhabi.

    A lot of people playing the blame-game I see between Pirelli and Charlie Whiting.

    Everyone wants to see racing of course and I agree that F1 should be able to race in these conditions. However, for me I have to say that safety takes priority. Cars crashing when going along the straight is really not what should be happening. I wonder what people would be saying if someone had careered into Kimi after he crashed? "Get on with it" probably wouldn't be appropriate then.

    This inability to race in the wet is bad PR for F1 but it'd be worse for them if there was another casualty.

    Probably.

    Hamilton won't be happy but it's reasonably ok, better than sonething bad happen to his car

    I'd rather he says he would be happy to settle for 2nd, rather than get us all fired up.

    Rosberg doesn't want to drop another place as then Hamilton win in Abu Dhabi would be enough (If this goes 75%+)

    The skill of the drivers since the restart, should heap shame on the FIA.

    Max was a whisker away from a big accident that would have had people crying out that the race should not have been restarted.

    Fine margins.

    Why can't Massa be cleared under VSC? Why close it up? If they red flag it now it's ridiculous.
