Hopefully NBC will do a good job with the broadcasts. |

The would be smart to get the whole team, but I doubt they will. If they get the Indycar team to do it, you should all blow your TV up. That would be horrible. |

Kimi & Lotus finally get a well earned win!
Alonso holds on!
Vettel moves up 21 spots to finish 3rd!
Not that India wasn't also a fine race but WOW!
Next Up is Austin COTA. I will be watching the race at home, tix were not in the finances this year, planning for next year though. |

Also very excited. I've got tickets in Turn 2 at COTA. Will be my first F1 race.

I was blown away by the Kimi win. With a few more laps I think Alonso could've pulled it off but glad Kimster got a P1 podium finish.
I can't wait until Austin. With only 10 pts separating Alonso and Vettel it's awesome the last 2 races will (finally) matter again. I'll be there all 3 days. |

I loved watching Kimi manage the gap. He was definately in command of that race. Be pleased to see another win from Lotus before the season ends.

Also, yeah Kimi's "Leave me alone- I know what to do!" over the radio was fantastic lulz... |

Should be fun.
Hoping Vettel seals his third that weekend, too. |
