Everyone.
Yup it sucks. And the app sucks as well. It's out of sync, the interval fluctuates all over the place, it was showing Massa in 9th for most of the race, Kvyat disappeared from my screen completely, and they charged me money for the privilege of accessing this information.

Well done, Mercedes, RBR and McLaren.

Button to announce his retirement after this season at the Belgian GP.

Bravo, Magnussen and Kvyat!

An interesting and eventful race! I think 2014 will be a good one!
I miss the old engine sound a little, but I'm here to watch the racing and there certainly was some good racing today.

A brutal victory by Merc. Beginning of a new RBR like era.

Last rookies that finished on the podium (Villeneuve and Hamilton) went on to win the next championship next year. Magnussen WDC 2015?

Daniil Kvyat also becomes the youngest driver to score points! At 19 years and 325 days, he is 24 days younger than Sebastian Vettel was at the 2007 US Grand Prix.

Indeed. One tiny but costly mistake. Could have possibly challenged for the podium otherwise. That Williams is a really quick car.

Great drive from Kvyat as well, matching his more experienced team mate.

Vettel's luck hasn't changed either.
Eh? He's always been more lucky than unlucky.
Ehm, no. He's had just as many mechanical failures (not just practice, in qualifying and in the race) as Webber, just in quantity. He's lost a boat load more points than Webber because of those.
