That's their story and they're sticking to it!

Webber missing Q3 is a blow. Interesting to see what he can do tonight given that in the last couple of years he's qualified on pole and finished with a win and a 4th place. Can he claw his way back...

Interesting race. Cars that should be up the front, all over the place, giving some good racing.

Whether you like him or hate him, you have to commend Lewis for his drive.

Tactician at Lotus needs to bring the plans forward a few more laps... So close for Kimi yet again!

Great first win for Maldanardo!

The Williams team is working with the fire services and the police to determine the root cause of the fire that broke out after the Spanish Grand Prix.

Williams said the fire, which erupted some 90 minutes after the team had won its first race since 2004, had originated from the fuel area.

The Grove squad confirmed four members of the team were injured in the incident. One has already been released while the other three are now receiving treatment at local hospitals.

"The Williams F1 Team would like to thank all of the teams and the FIA for their support in today's incident," said the team in a statement.

It is so far confirmed only nine members were from F1 teams but other team personnel were understood to be involved.

Caterham said four of its members had been taken to the medical centre for examination, while another Force India mechanic had also suffered from smoke inhalation and was under observation.

Formula 1's ruling body, the FIA, said a total of 31 people were seen by medical staff from the circuit. Seven had been transferred to local hospitals.

"The FIA is collaborating closely with the Spanish authorities investigating this incident and will be providing a further update as soon as more information becomes available," said the FIA.



Sad way to end a brilliant day for Williams.

8 years, 8 long years.

Thats a damn pity... Sir Frank Williams, for his 70th birthday he got a world class drive and win for his team... only to have it go up in smoke.

Sad to see the fire in Williams. Was a great race for them by Maldo.

Webber sucks.

Ricciardo also needs a good race. While he has been clearly better than his team mate in qualifying this year races haven't been so good.

Any news on the weather?
