I really don’t have much to add to yesterday’s set up except that the flex wing may be more significant than I thought. The Red Bulls and Ferraris that are using it are 1.2 seconds a lap faster than everything else on the track.
Here’s a link to the Speed Racecast commentary.

Carnival of Errors.
Renault plows into Force India. Rosberg drives off without a wheel.

Hamilton broken.
Any Red Bull that finishes will take over the Driver lead.

Might have to do a stop and go.

He was very quick (though not enough), might have picked up another penalty.
Author
And I though Button was easy on tires.
Author
At least one of the Pit crew were injured by Rosberg’s tire.
