Time to pay up!

Calling Magnussen Benz Over Button, The Mercs, Beauty & the F1 Geek, Hippy F1 and Ch-ch-ch-changes!

If you have paid, remind me and I'll blame it on baby brain!

Hungarian GP - "absolutely amazing...sensational"

Yes please

Flame-grilled Lewis - another retro F1 event
Big Heads - did you spot the faux Lewis and Fernando in the pit lane?
First rain of the season - I'm not used to so much crashing
Vettel on the radio - "negative negative" (thinks he's a cop?)
Close finishes
Lovely, elegant trophies

No thanks

Qually upsets - Bianchi takes out Raikkonen
Hamilton wears a rosary - do we call the fashion police or the Swiss Guard?
They don't make 'em like they used to - drivers can no longer cope with a wet qually
Force India - drivers taking each other out
Poor tyre strategies - poor Button
Haliwell - hanging out with Horner

GB GP - "You cannot touch this"

Hooray

Qualifying 12th - congrats Marussia
107% rule - it's been a while old friend, brought out for Caterham
Overtaking - Alonso and Bottos enlivening the race
Fighting - Alonso, Vettel and Button all put in a good show

Disappointed

Slebs - Osborne (surprised that Coulthard recognised him given that  none of his money goes that way), Vorderman, Niomi Campbell, Fassbender, boring
Q1 - Williams and Ferrari out, poor show
Slebs - Eric Clapton is Massa's biggest fan - clearly doesn't watch much F1
Schoolboy errors - overshooting the grid slot, Alonso
Snitching - Button, Alonso and Vettel
Hamilton's hair
