BREAKING ~ Seb will start from the pitlane! Only had 850ml of fuel in the tank, which was not enough for the 1-liter requirement for the FIA-sample! WOW.
Terrible news

^thishell of a race. Couldn't believe Vettel pulled in all those spots. Really glad Kimi got his first win, been waiting for him to get one. I was at his conversations with his crew. One of the best races of the season. Can't wait to see what happens in Austin.
and this^That was the best "TOONED" episode yet! "It worked on Schumacher" :x
What a race. Finally Kimi and Lotus having their first win of the season. love the Iceman's radio comms. Just wanted to be left alone and race. Seb definitely had all the luck in the world right there. So many incidents, yet hardly any action was taken (save for Perez). Looked like they wanted to go home early. Fernando did a fantastic race as well. The man definitely did all that he could to earn that P2. So disappointed with Lewis' retirement. He had the race win in the bag. Not a good way to end his career at McLaren.
Seb and Kimi throwing expletives at the podium interview. David Coulthard doing some damage control.
The next race at COTA is very technical; looks like it'll favor the Red Bulls. :\
I like what Kimi said in the podium. the victory is not for him anymore but for the team and the sponsors and to keep on believing. at least Lotus have something they could bring next year.
Romain is the only lonely guy in the Lotus garage why cant this guy avoid the stupidity
I noticed that Force India did not have their usual Whyte & Mackay sponsorship on the car this weekend. I just found out that some GPs have restrictions on alcohol advertising
Just like the Jordan below
If I remember correctly, F1 is more known for its ban on tobacco companies (only select races previously, until a total ban a few seasons ago), with Benson and Hedges being replaced with "BE ON EDGE" logo for Jordan F1's case. Other notable tobacco companies include Marlboro for Ferrari and McLaren (previously, West as well), Mild Seven for Renault, and Lucky Strike for B.A.R.. I know I'm missing a brand or two, so forgive me for that... but what I'm getting at was tobacco endorsement money really played a big factor in an F1 team's funding. Ferrari contiuned advertising Marlboro subliminally (e.g., the Barcode) even today (some would say that the Scuderia Ferrari logo is too similar with the Marlboro logo).
I believe Force India was forced to change its logo for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since there is a ban on alcoholic beverages in that region. In addition to that, I think that is why the have "rose water" instead of G.H. Mumm champagne during podium celebrations at Grands Prix in the Middle East.
Anyway, I loved the clever tobacco liveries they had back then... with my fave being...
Very clever.
While for McLaren...
^ Don't think they're selling them... limited-Kimi-run!
