I'm beta testing software for Directv. On Speed, I'm getting a frozen picture and intermittant blank screens. Is anyone else having this problem?

DiResta, Perez and Grosjean had some nice close running going. Perhaps too close.

Paul.

Webber got what he deserved. Too bad the safety car will ******* help Vettel.
Seriously, gimme a car. I may be 50secs a lap slower than them but you don't need to be fast to ignore blue flags and crash into him.
Bernie spoke to Vettel while he was inside the pits... he probably told him "don't worry kid, i paid them to let you pass".

Vettel will finish second. Fresh rubbers, safety car...
If I were Nando i'd just hit him.

They just had a camera shot that showed all the loose rubber off line. That's going to make passing in the corner tough.

Lotus just told Kimi "Keep working all 4 tires" (To get the heat up) during the safety car yellow to which he replies "Yes, yes, yes, I know what I'm doing". Ha ha! He is awesome indeed, like a kindergarten kid.

I reserve the right to spit on the face of whomever tries to say that Alonso is not the best driver in the lineup.
He's insane.
5 fast laps one after the other with a car that's not that fast...

Not enough time left in the race to make a difference.

Greta race. Congratulations to Kimi most of all. Great work by Fernando and by Seb as well.

Kimi was sandbagging just a little and picked up the pace at the end.

Great race.

Paul.

Alonso looks exhausted.
He's not even talking to Vettel. I like this kind of behavior.

Fern shook hands with Kimi and Seb but now there is much conversation between Seb and Kimi who are friends.

Paul.

Shaking hands is just a gentlemen's gesture.
He would probably stab him and drink his blood instead of champagne. He's not false in his behavior at least.

Good point. No wonder they are drinking so much.

Kimi said "Like I said, I'm happy but there's no reason to jump around". Ha ha!

Paul.

He wasn't even really happy when he won the championship with Ferrari.
I wonder if he at least smiles while humping his woman. I know I would!

Vettel drove good but also had a lot of luck. Webber knocking people off left and right, Grossjean knocking Webber and perez off, Hamilton retiring and the safety car coming at the perfect time. He was 25 seconds behind and the safety car let him catch up. Congratulations to kimi and a great drive from alonso.

Ecclestone offers $500,000 to whitleblowers
In a move that some might see as somewhat ironic, Bernie Ecclestone is offering a half million dollar reward to anyone who blows the whistle on F1 cheats.

Pushing hard for a $250m budget cap, the F1 supremo is offering the reward in a bid to flush out those that attempt to circumnavigate it, should it be introduced.

Whilst offering a $500,000 reward to potential whitleblowers, Ecclestone reveals that the cheats, and team owners and team principals will be held accountable, would be fined in excess of $1m.

Sounds like, to me, that he's looking for a cash cow.
