It’s possible he’s dealing with a serious head injury, but there's also a good chance he’s undergoing surgery right now to address it, and everything might just turn out fine in the end.
Sure, but there’s a massive difference between those two scenarios. First, his medical team finds out, then his family gets the news... the public will only hear about it when the time is right. What good would it do for doctors to be tweeting his status straight from the operating room?
Rain is easily the worst thing that can happen to modern Formula racing. I’m praying to Formula God that we don't see a single drop for the rest of the season.
Based on this photo, the car took a pretty hard hit right to the rear end.... No, I honestly think everything will be fine. Looking at the shot, I don't see any way there could have been direct contact between the vehicle and the head.

I just want Hulk.
What would you even do with Hulk? He’s even more of a calculator than Fernando. He isn't anywhere near championship material.
On topic. It's a shame about Fernando. It'll be tough for him to grab a title at McLaren; it'll likely just be a continuation of the struggle, just in a different car this time.

I'm not quite following your logic here... From what I saw, Lewis Hamilton nailed his turn and held his line perfectly. He didn't brake unnecessarily, and he certainly wasn't hunting down Rosberg. None of that happened.
It looks like a classic racing incident where two stubborn drivers just refuse to back down from one another... It isn't really about whether it's Rosberg or Hamilton; they both share the blame, fifty-fifty.☕
Just because we call it a racing incident doesn't mean the blame is split equally... Sure, it's a racing incident, but I still think Rosberg carries more of the weight here. Why would you call Hamilton the stubborn one for refusing to yield? He was holding his line, exactly where any driver would be. He shouldn't have to give an inch. Rosberg is the one who took an unconventional line, and he's the one responsible for the collision when the other guy wouldn't budge. It would be a different story if they were both off their lines. But that simply wasn't the case here.
I couldn't agree more. Honestly, most of today's drivers are just a bunch of spoiled brats; there’s no other way to put it. Daniel Ricciardo has a massive following now, so we'll see how that actually plays out if he ends up fighting directly for the championship title down the road.
We’ve already seen this season how quick Dani is to pull the trigger when he needs to tell the pit wall to deal with Sebastian Vettel, who happens to be slower than him at those exact moments (and somehow finds himself right in his way). It’s pretty bold coming from a driver who hasn't really achieved much in his career, casually telling the crew, "Guys, we have to do something about it." And then what? Vettel pulls away from him just two laps later. 😁
I think the penalty on Kevin Magnussen was totally justified, though I find it hard to swallow... this isn't some wide runoff area like what we saw in Bahrain. There’s just freaking grass right next to the track, and those barriers are way too close for comfort.
Regarding Nice and Lewis, there’s zero chance both of them stay at Mercedes-Benz through 2015. Someone is going to have to move on. Maybe Nico goes to Ferrari, while Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton reunite at Mercedes-Benz.
I’m expecting a pretty dull race here... unlike at the Circuit of Americas, it's tough to hold off the drivers behind you on this track. The fast ones are just going to pull away and build a gap.

Look, Mlađo actually achieved something in Formula 1, regardless of how much you might want to mock him. I can't think of anything you—or even I—have done that has had any actual impact on anyone in the Formula 1 business.
