I like this on twitter.......

Benedict Cumberbatch: "You must be really happy to win"

Lewis Hamilton: " No sh!t Sherlock"

[CookinFlat6]

Whoever thought it was best to say those exact words to Massa must be either a joker or a bit thick. Saying anything else would have worked, why rub salt into the guys wounds so early?

Unless it was Rob Smedley

BBC's Tom Clarkson asked Niki Lauda what his thoughts were on Massa defying team orders...

"Good".

[LewEngBridewell]

All change at the top of the WCC:

Mercedes = 68
McLaren = 43
Ferrari = 30
Williams = 20
Force India = 19
Red Bull = 15
Toro Rosso = 7

I've just said pretty much the same thing on twitter. What an insensitive choice of wording!!

Real life Fred Flintstone, yo.

The decision to penalise the team twice over the unsafe release is ridiculous. :/

I don't understand, how can Ricciardo get punished twice for the one infringement?

[LewEngBridewell]

Yup, seems to me like slightly over-zealous stewarding...

[bud]

Okay apparently the new rules are any unsafe pit release gets a ten second stop go and automatic 10 place grid penalty for the next race.

Seems rather harsh on the driver considering it is out of his hands.
