Sergey Sirotkin: I don’t feel any pressure (Crash)[2]
“This was the worst season of my life; I was very unlucky. Every time I would say, ‘tomorrow next time’, we always say this but it never comes.”
Anthony Davidson says motor sport is missing ‘fear factor’ over safety (The Guardian)[3]
“We don’t want to see fans get injured or drivers get injured or killed but the drivers should get punished. On some modern circuits its pathetic when you see drivers going off the track and nothing happens.”
RAC launches clash with Formula One partners (The Telegraph)[4]
“Tom Purves, the RAC chairman and former chief executive of Rolls-Royce, wrote to FIA president Jean Todt to demand further details about payments totalling €14.4m [£12.2m].”

Snapshot
Former F1 driver Timo Glock[6] catches up with Lewis Hamilton at the DTM season finale at the Hockenheimring yesterday. The rain-hit race saw Glock score his first victory since his final GP2 start at Valencia six years ago.
Comment of the day
Nico Hulkenberg[7] has won two of the last three Driver of the Weekend polls and many of you want to see him in a better car:
Nico Hulkenberg has been a bright spot in this increasingly predictable season of Vettel and Red Bull dominance. Not that this is the fault of Vettel or Red Bull, they are simply doing their job exceedingly well.
To see Hulkenberg racing with three world champions and doing so well is certainly a glimpse of more to come. Best wishes for him and the team that will be wise enough to sign him for 2014.

On this day in F1
Two drivers won the world championship on this day in F1 history and both did it by beating Alain Prost[12].
Niki Lauda[13] beat his McLaren team mate to the title by the tightest-ever margin of half a point at Estoril in Portugal in 198.
Whereas Ayrton Senna[14] took the title in deeply controversial fashion at Suzuka in 1990, crashing into Prost at the first corner:
