yeah and i was one of the doubters, thinking what is he doing leaving McLaren for a lower ranking team, he must have known something, or just a gamble that paid off!

Will try and watch this live for a change, rather than just highlights. And see how good the coverage is on Sky....
Be good to see Lewis, Button and Di Resta all finish on the podium! Probably asking a bit too much there....

Im sure it will be as interesting as watching paint dry as per usual....

But... I will watch the first 5 minutes then watch something more interesting like Prime Ministers questions and then maybe catch the last 5 minutes.
