The drivers probably did know, the amount of running they've done on all 4 compounds, I think after 3 laps, even if the tyres aren't marked up, they could probably feel which ones they were, but is this what Nico meant, or were Pirelli's engineers telling him?

1. It's not possible I don't think, Red Bull, Lotus and Ferrari will ensure though places are taken, if it's a wet race though, I wouldn't rule out a win if the odds go in their favour.

2. I'm a traditionalist in these matters, I believe the sense of danger has to be there so the drivers can push the boundaries to the limit, I think run-offs can sometimes cause it to go too far because they know they'll get a mulligan. 

3. He is quick and proving so, but taking out other drivers when you know they won't leave a gap for you is either brave or stupid, he is 50/50 at the present time, he needs better judgement, but i'm hoping that time will teach him this.

4. Have to see on the whether I guess, as long as these don't detract from the racing it should make it more safer, Silverstone will test them if the use them there, Montreal won't quite put the tyres through their paces as Silverstone will.

5. I hate to say no, the current crop of 'pay' drivers is making it difficult for genuine talent like Kamui to get involved, his only way is in is a manufacturer puts him in the seat, Lotus looks most likely with Grosjean being tempremental again. But I just don't see it happening unfortunatly :(

It kinda looks like almost Merc did nothing wrong aside from providing the current car, it's a lil strange that there is so much hoo-har over it, plus if the information was not passed onto merc, then i don't see how they could of benefitted aside from understanding more of the set-up on their own car. But the tyres weren't even relevant. Sooo i'm SORT OF not seeing what the issue is here.

Mercedes seem to be powering half the grid for next year, but can this be a hinderance or a help? Williams have needed a strong manufacturer behind them for a long time, but with Renault pre-occupied with Red Bull and Toyota's partnership not going so well, I hope this helps push them up the grid.

We can all appreciate close racing, BUT there is big difference between racing with respect and honor instead of the dangerous childish stunts like Cocetto and Maldonado have pulled in the past. How can these drivers be shown this tact and respect so they can grow as drivers and as people?

With Williams recording their worst ever start to a season in their history, I wanted to pose a question. Will Williams ever be a championship winning team again? Can they relive the days between the late 80s and 2004?
