I don't think Seb was actually angry at Kimi for that late race incident. I think he was laughing it off, as was Kimi. Seb was mad at the moment it happened, but these guys are in a complete mind lock when they're driving, and when they work and work to catch someone, then get run wide (whether it was their fault or the fault of the other driver), and have to do it again, they vent their anger on the radio. Just an adrenaline thing.

I think that's part of being a great driver, you take every position seriously, you get angry at every position you lose, you fight and scrap for every inch of pavement. I think that's the instinct and focus some of the backmarker drivers (a.k.a. pikers, or in NASCAR terms, danic-ers) don't have.

I think Mark Webber was a little ticked at the move Hamilton did when he ran Webber off the track while passing him, causing Webber to run into the clagg (I love that word, thank you David Hobbs).

BTW, looks like Vettel got a sporting new haircut, huh? He lost that 1970's shaggy look.



My wife still thinks he looks like the guy from Coldplay.

I watched the "Top Gear" episode online, where Mark Webber takes his turn around the Top Gear track. Interesting (and funny) interview he does with Jeremy Clarkson!

Missed those...will look for replays.

Did find this gossip while using a search engine, this popped up: regarding Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis "Kissing & Making up" reportedly after a month break by Nicole...who has dated Lewis for the past 5 years. http://wonderwall.msn.com/tv/the-sho...y?ocid=answw11

And

http://onswipe.upi.com/upi/#!/entry/...27f5d9d0092a21

Wondered why Lewy seemed so sad while on the grid interviews in the past few weeks of racing. Perhaps this was the reason?

Here's the Webber appearance on Top Gear : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN7_TiCBmbs

I loved how Webber was looking around, totally bored, while under full throttle doing his lap! Also very funny how they said Kimi Raikkonen was looking at the helicopters and aircraft around the field while running his lap.

Nothing phases these F1 drivers. Anything short of pulling 4G turns is like driving a golf cart to them.

Thermal camera of crash - this video chops off the live broadcast version that showed the left front tire and road surface go to "white hot" just prior to crash...if you look closely you CAN see the "White Hot" flat spot rotate on the left & right fronts just prior to impact.
