Which is worse, decent race coverage with perhaps different opinions, or hours of dithering about nothing including the race?

Agreed, he was doing 3:19s with quad stinted tires.

4 of Toyota's current drivers are F1 drivers... Going back there's also Wurz and Ant

Count me among those impressed with the #11s run. Super clean since they've come back out. Going to end up with a decent points result and a ton of data for the team to chew on. Good on Aleshin, Button and Petrov for pushing on all race after they were dead last and three hours behind.

Just reading the local paper, and there is a small blurb at the race. It starts by saying Nadal waved the flag, then mentions Alonso and Button. Graham Hill also gets a shout out.

No word on who started where, or any updates on the running yesterday...

Leena Gade saying regs say #8 should get a 1 minute stop/go.

Do we really need this segment in the last hour, Eurosport?

Baffled that the #8 didn’t get a penalty for the wheels spinning, everyone knows it’s against the rules.

The amount of time spent watching TK and his magic marker has been mind boggling this race.

#8 Toyota over a 100 miles ahead of their nearest true competitor with 50 minutes to go. This is the year surely.

Car retiring and we're listening to a host who'd rather be anywhere else and TK talk. I love his driving but he's not a great tv guy.

They couldn't take either of the Japanese drivers out at the end, the ES guys may love the idea of Alonso finishing the race but to take either out would absolutely gut them as drivers.

Things usually break when Kaz is in the car. 2014, 2016 (Spa and Le Mans) etc... I’m not saying they’ve won until they see the chequered flag.

If the #5 Ginetta finishes and doesn't lose more than a few laps then it might actually be classified!

If #8 WOULD switch again it would be Buemi's turn even not Alonso's
