The race is about to start and I have found a German language telecast on the hotel TV.
Anyone else watching live, or will I be talking to myself?

Tyres are proving problematic.

I have always thought race commentary sounds much more exciting in Italian than German. Where are you?

Prague.
Bad luck RIC. Longest points scoring streak of any driver this year - until now.

Well I think even with double points in the last race, RIC is assured 3rd place in the championship.

Makes him look rather good value when compared to his team mate. RIC is paid $1.1m per year by RED Bull (214 points or $5140 per point). VET $31.7m (159 points or $199,937 per point)

I believe he did get bonus payments for each win this year.

Well qualifying was straight forward in Abu Dhabi. Will RIC 5th and VET 6th...
Until I woke this morning to find that RIC and VET have been relegated to the back of the grid for "illegal front wings". :evil:
Not a very fitting end to the season for third placed RIC or for VET's last run with RBR before joining RAI at Ferrari. Hopefully they should both end up in the points.

F1 site showing vet 19th and Ric 20th?
Whats the ruling - excluded so goes on prev season championship order? Or some other ruling?

Excluded from qualifying. So last and second last. Maybe based on current points' standing to determine the order of the two Red Bulls.

Oops, sorry missed that. Hmm, I have no idea now. I doubt that it would have been up to the team, as then RIC would have been 19th.
You might be right with the standing at the end of last year.
I expect we will hear the reason quite often tonight in the half hour before the race.

b) If more than one driver fails to set a time during Q1, Q2 or Q3 they will be arranged in the following order :
i) Any driver who attempted to set a qualifying time by starting a flying lap.
ii) Any driver who failed to start a flying lap.
iii) Any driver who failed to leave the pits during the period.
c) Once the grid has been established in accordance with a) and b) above, grid position penalties will be applied to the drivers in question in the order the offences were
committed. If more than one driver incurs a penalty under Article 28.4(a) or Article 28.6(a) preference will be given to the driver whose team first informed the technical
delegate that an engine or gearbox change will be carried out.
d) Any driver who incurs a penalty under Article 28.4(a) or Article 28.6(a) will take precedence over any driver whose qualifying times have been deleted for any reason.
If more than one driver falls into a single category in b) or d) above they will be arranged on the grid in the order they were classified in the previous period of qualifying or, in the case of Q1, the order they were classified in P3.
Part d) refers. As all of their qualifying times were excluded the grid position is determined by their times from P3.
