Excellent work, Kimi! Hope he will be able to beat Vettel (and Alonso) this year.

American Alex Rossi will get a drive with Caterham at the Canadian Grand Prix, June 6-9 (he is currently a test driver for them).

Although Bernie just cut off the last points-paying place in the constructor's championship (reportedly worth a cool $10mil) which means that Williams (Williams!) Marussia and Caterham are in a battle for that last money-paying place.

He also got a full time GP2 drive in Caterham's GP2 team. He was fantastic in his debut, making the podium. He will get to F1, I'm confident

Connor Daly will do GP3 this year. He drove a great GP2 race in Malaysia, 7th in the feature race without ever racing one of these cars.

Glad to see Americans doing a good job in Europe

Exciting qualifying today. I'm interested to see what happens in the race tomorrow, especially with Rosberg.

Kimi is demonstrating impressive constiency. Lotus cut the budget by €20 mill this year and they are still better than McLaren and Mercedes.

2013 Budgets in millions:
Ferrari: €245 (+5)
McLaren: €220
Red Bull: €210 (+30)
Mercedes: €200 (+40)
Williams: €120 (-10)
Lotus: €110 (-20)

NBCsports is a tier 3 channel on Dish. Looks like I won't be seeing anymore Formula one racing.

Monaco, Canada, Austin, and Brazil will all be aired on NBC. UK and Germany will be on CNBC so you should be able to catch at least 4 if not 6 races. Also, they may air it live on their website. I'd check into that.

I have to say that overall I'm actually enjoying NBC Sports coverage of F1 more than Speed channels. I just wish Bob Varsha was still part of the team.

Did anyone hear what Will Buxton said on the grid pre-race about Ferrari? Lol they had a bunch of guys standing around the car so you couldn't see the back and Will pointed out that journalists had been taking photo's of the back of te car all weekend.

Kimi has been extremely consistent, I think even though he still isn't in the lead for points that he is the one to beat this year.

That was an awesome race.

Agreed with comment above about Kimi. Very consistent this season.

Poor old Sutil still having his run of bad luck.

A bit of a joke with these tyres. I don't want a 2010-like parade season, but this race was a bit too much, frankly.
