Vettel doesn't sound happy, he'll be even less happy when he finds out it was Kvyat who hit him.

Anyway, back to green, and all this rabble has played into Hamilton's hands. Already in 4th after the restart.

The other big beneficiaries here seem to be Alonso and the Renault drivers Magnussen and Palmer... All in the points right now.

The stewards are handing out penalties all over the place today.

Verstappen retires with engine troubles. He was having a strong run today before that.

Nico extends his lead over Hamilton to 43 points. In the constructors title race, Renault, Haas and both McLarens pick up points but Mercedes are running away with it again.

Buescher got lucky on that flip there, but that particular style of flip is one that you're really never going to be able to get rid of. It's just physics, and even though DW pointed out that the roof flaps didn't deploy, you turn a car that suddenly at the right speed, it's going over no matter what aerodynamic devices you have. This sort of flip is just pure inertia, not the air getting under the car or anything.

Well that was one of the crash-iest Talladegas I've seen for a long while. More of the field looked like they belonged at Martinsville than Talladega by the end of it. Just look at how battered Truex's car wound up.

Effective for the rest of the 2016 Formula 1 season as of the Spanish Grand Prix, Max Verstappen will be driving for the main Red Bull team alongside Daniel Ricciardo, with Daniil Kvyat moving to the secondary Toro Rosso team alongside Carlos Sainz Jr. www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/36206848

Twitter is a shitstorm of angry comments right now re: this development.
Even Jenson Button, who I've *NEVER* seen angry before, gave Red Bull a piece of his mind.

What the hell did Vettel say to Red Bull when he stormed over there? I also can't imagine the Russian F1 fans are too pleased with this.

The popular word right now is that Red Bull is doing this to keep Max Verstappen from being a free agent after the season.

It's not like Kyvat is some talentless hack. He shows good pace and has been on the podium before. Kyvat is a bigger man than I would because I would have told both RBR and TR to f*** off for pulling something like this.
