31/53: Vettel pits, 2.2 seconds, nice and slick.

11 Oct 2015

11 Oct 2015

29/53: Vettel has a 26 second lead over Bottas, will it be enough to complete a pit pass?

11 Oct 2015

11 Oct 2015

11 Oct 2015

11 Oct 2015

15/53: Four cars out of the GP so far: Hulkenberg, Ericsson, Rosberg and most recently Grosjean.

11 Oct 2015

14/53 None of the leaders: Ham, Bottas, Raikkonen, Vettel, Kvyat decided to pit.

11 Oct 2015

The barrier absorbed most of the impact, but it was a massive shunt. Glad to see Grosjean walk away. He seemed lose control of his car running in Button's dirty air.

10/53: 1 HAM 2 BOT 3 RAI 4 VET 5 PER 6 KVY 7 RIC 8 NAS 9 MAS 10 BUT

11 Oct 2015

Rosberg retires which means if Hamilton should win today he would need to out score Nico by 2 points at the USA GP to win the title on American soil.

11 Oct 2015

Rosberg is in trouble!! He's slowing down and heading into the pits. Heartbreak for the German. It looks to be like a throttle issue.

11 Oct 2015

7/53 Hamilton overtakes his team mate as Rosberg seemed to have gone wide into a corner.
