Felipe, Alonso is faster than you...
I'm curious to see what the stewards say about that incident. Fred was optimistic but Felipe looked like he slowed way down and left the door open. I guess by the regs the passing driver has the responsibility to make the pass clean...

yeah it seems like a stupid idea to have an A list concert at the race, especially since there is no overlap in the fanbase of f1 and swift.
someone said on reddit that it was a plan to get married people to bring their wives out to the race, but its just going to result in the wife having fun for an hour, and then be miserable and complain the next 8 hours at the track. hopefully they dont do this **** again and if they do, bring a more appropriate music act for one of the manliest sports around

Massa says Alonso has ?responsibility? for late-race clash
Must admit I'm shocked Felipe is blaming someone else. 
Stewards verdict should be "Alonso is faster than you"
“I was just doing the corner, and he just dived completely inside,” said Massa. “I was already entering the corner and he just hit my car and I had a puncture.
“It destroyed the opportunities I had at that moment. So I think, yes, for sure it’s his responsibility.”

Ricciardo: We had a good car for second
Mr. Rosberg when asked to comment:
"It was definitely ours, at least for that moment," he said, "and even if Nico caught me towards the end I was not going down without a fight.
"So, you know, I was looking forward to the battle. I think we had good pace. It was frustrating at the time; as soon as the Virtual Safety Car came out I got on the radio and said 'this isn't good for us, is it'. Simon, my engineer, said ' no, it's going to have us over'. I was pretty upset, but that's how it goes.
"We had, I think, relatively good pace compared to Nico. I think we had a pretty good car for second. Shame we didn't get that, but hey, I'm not going to get too disappointed. It's just cool to be on the podium here.

I'd hate to say it but, if You have to have Taylor Swift and the likes of Justin Bieber perform, in order to gain attendance and recognition, Do it. I love America but NFL and NASCAR are too dominant.

Tried multiple times since Friday to order the $15 shirt, the $22.50 shorts, the $7.50 lanyard, the $20 hat, and the windbreaker so I can dress like a McLaren team guy for Halloween.
