Dan will piss this in barring mechanical failure.
Was rather ironic that Rosberg caused the incident that put Hamilton to the back of the pack and some of Hamilton's debris has now caused issues to Rosberg

Great race! Ricciardo again!!!

Had to go out so missed the second half of the race but will be watching it on ten when they replay it.

Vettel quitting Red Bull at seasons end. Possibly off to Ferrari. Kyvat to join Ricciardo next year

Possibly? Speed network saying it's a done deal. The Russian from Toro Rosso moves to Vettel's seat...

If he ends up at Ferrari it means I'm going to have to cheer for the ****

First 10 laps done behind the safety car as its pissing down and the track is underwater.
Finally underway now

Another Red flag, this time with 6 laps to go. Vettel pitted about 10 seconds earlier for tyres which pushed Dan up to 3rd lol

Race abandoned
Bianchi in a bad way apparantly.
Hamilton wins, Rosberg 2nd, Dan 3rd

Race results go back a few laps on count back, Dan demoted to 4th

Bianchi in a very bad way, unconscious and airlifted to hospital.
Ran into a crane that was removing another car from the track

Bianchi having surgery, head trauma, critical condition.

Sad

FIA head of communications Matteo Bonciani released this statement on Bianchi's condition:

On lap 42, Adrian Sutil lost control of his car, spun and hit the tyre barrier on the outside of Turn 7. The marshals displayed double waved yellow flags before the corner to warn drivers of the incident. A recovery vehicle was dispatched in order to lift the car and take it to a place of safety behind the guardrail. While this was being done the driver of car 17, Jules Bianchi, lost control of his car, travelled across the run-off area and hit the back of the tractor.

Once the marshals reported that the driver was injured, medical teams were dispatched and the Safety Car was deployed. These were followed by an extrication team and an ambulance.

The driver was removed from the car, taken to the circuit medical centre and then by ambulance to Mie General Hospital.

The CT scan shows that he has suffered a severe head injury and he is currently undergoing surgery. Following this he will be moved to intensive care where he will be monitored

Mie General Hospital will issue an update as soon as further information becomes available.

Formula One Head of Communications & Media Delegate

Oh ok stupid me

I'm about to watch the replay then.

Terrible news about Bianchi can only hope for a good outcome.

L'Equipe (French national newspaper) reports that "Jules Bianchi's operation is complete and that he is breathing independently."...

Another bit of sad news. Former F1 driver Andrea de Cesaris has been killed in a motorbike accident.
