I saw they tried to get Hulkenberg into the car, but he decided to stick out the last two races with Sauber... good for him. Also, it'll be cool to see Kovalanien back in a car. Better go update the FF1 roster.

Such a shame. I was a big fan of Perez. And I would have thought McLaren would have forced Button into retirement before dropping him.

I heard the funds from Mexico where an issue.

Are you suggesting that Perez just didn't have the pace(os) required by McLaren?

Perez must have more funding than Magnussen. I don't get it either.

Okay, not to get all conspiracy theorist... But I watch several cars dip the same 4 wheels over the pit entrance paint that got Massa penalized, including Vettel on his last lap. WTF? This appears to be the first year they've chosen to enforce this, but it didnt appear to me it was enforced very consistently.

Yeah, I have no f'ing clue what the FIA was doing. If *anyone* deserves a pass at the race, it was Massa. Hell, Massa would have had a podium if not for that penalty, since Alonso has said he would have moved over for Massa to take 3rd.

Massa on the podium for his home race and last race with Ferrari would have been something special.
