That whole quote -

"Kimi keep working all four tyres".

"Yes yes yes I know what I am doing".

Good morning Doug,

Yes, it looks like a layout of Bahrain mixed with Turkey mixed with Korea.

What a great outcome - thoughout the final laps, I was jumping off the sofa yelling "C'mon Kimi!" Both Alonso and Vettel showed in their different ways why they each have a solid claim to the WDC this year, IMHO. Webber looked like he'd reverted to Formula Ford with his weak attempt on Maldonado (which left him out of position and later vulnerable to Perez' kamikaze move), and his incident that caused Massa to spin was comedy gold!

Meanwhile in the Toro Rosso duo, Ricciardo showed off his rapidly increasing racecraft to claim another WDC point, while his teammate's docile 'stepping aside' for Schumacher showed the opposite. Lastly, Vettel's f-bomb on the podium was totally uncalled for, even if it was Coulthard doing the interviewing.

It was an enthralling race from start to finish, with the 'reverse grid' effect of Vettels demotion meaning there was always something exciting happening somewhere in the field. What a season we're having!

To me it's a mix of Silverstone and Suzuka, followed by Korea's massive straight, ending in multi-apex Turkey-esque corners for sector 3. A fun drive
