did not see the point of the drive though, they already had to do another pit stop.
Riccardo out
They haven't they're going to carry on running the mixed tyres until the next stop.
AH right I missed a bit , actually had to do some work, thought I heard they came in again.
Rosberg gained 1.6 seconds in that virtual safety car... Wonder if Hamilton botched the restart.
yeah he could of done, he is pulling away again now.
Bloody hell this about as much as they've shown of Hamilton in ages.
Crofty jinxed him, unlucky Seb.
Poor Seb.pretty boring race.
The trophies were fugly.
fine 3rd place for Roman and a boost for Lotus, who I believe are deep in financial trouble.
Justin Wilson has been airlifted to hospital after getting hit in the head with part of a crashed cars nosecone. Really hope he's OK.
Poor guy is now in a coma. He's been looking for a ride for quite a while and this is the first opportunity he has had to drive an Indy car:....now this.
Horrible. It's been a horrible couple of years for motorsport, with Schumi (obviously unrelated), Bianchi and now this. Motorsport should never stop striving for perfection when it comes to safety.
Lotus are setting up in the Monza paddock ahead of this weekend’s Italian GP as speculation about their future continues to swirl.
The team's transporters, which were impounded after the Belgian GP a fortnight ago as part of a dispute with former test driver Charles Pic, have arrived, with the cash-strapped team now expected to race on Sunday despite the question marks that currently surround them.
Renault have reportedly made an offer to buy back a 65 per cent stake – said to be worth £65m – in the Enstone-based outfit, with whom they won back-to-back world titles in 2005-06.
Meanwhile, with creditors owed money and Bernie Ecclestone quoted as saying that he paid the team's wages in August, it has also been reported that Lotus are subject to an administration hearing in court next week.
There is still no word as to whether Lotus have accepted Renault's offer, although the deal would apparently maintain a 25 per cent stake for current co-owner Genii Capital, who originally acquired a stake from the French manufacturer in 2009.
Although the payments to take back ownership would be staggered over a 10-year period, Renault would also apparently put together the sponsorship package required for the team's operating budget.
Moreover, with four-time world champion and former Renault driver Alain Prost also set to acquire a small stake in the team, the suggestion is that the 60-year-old would serve as its public face, perhaps as team principal.

Just when you thought Hamilton's hair styles couldn't get any more '90's boyband' he's only gone and died it blonde
lotus - my word , a giant in the race world brought to it's knees.

Fecking hell lol. He thinks he's a film star rapper model or something. Huge ego and vanity, bless him. I suppose you're only young once eh
Some Lewis quotes from bbc sport.
"I went from LA, where I attended the MTV video awards, to New York and then back to Europe for this weekend's race in Italy".
He will end up moving permanently to LA when he retires I reckon.
Check out what he said of his new eagle tat...
Hamilton wrote of his new tattoo: "My eagle represents a visionary. I'm a seeker and I'm willing to push the limits of self-discovery and personal freedom. The eagle is a born leader and may become impatient with those who cannot fly as high or as fast"

Nico changing the engine for his Spa one , so no grid penalty, Lewis keeping the new spec engine.
Shiiiiiiit, his engine cover has come off
Max loses an engine cover and covers the track in carbon fiber.
That McLaren is an absolute dog
good job nobody was behind him , somebody not fastened it down correct ?
I agree leave the grid places , take point from the team or maybe a fine.
Yea, looks like they'd not fixed the 'bonnet' down properly
Ferrari and Mercs the only teams not to use softs in Q1
I wanna go back to Monza
Rosberg could be looking at 4th place, this old engine's really put him on the back foot... Guess he'll be hoping Hamilton's new engine has a problem tomorrow.
Forza Ferrari! Finally split the bloody Mercedes.
Great job.
Great job.
Pole for Lewis was never really in doubt, once Nico changed to an old engine.
Top 4 pretty close,should be a good race.

Hamilton is incredible.
7 poles in a row, jeez.
Ferrari closer which is good for the race, certainly makes it interesting if a Ferrari can jump Hamilton at the start.

Not sure what the point is of McLaren any more.
Incident packed 1st lap of the GP3!
