If you're still with me, thank you. We are soldiers together in this war against F1 ridiculousness.
If you're new to our club, so far we have discussed Strictly Come Dancing, James Marsden (pictured) and canoeing.
We also sometimes chat about Formula 1.

Pick your way through some cracking Austin stats here. I'm not sure about the claim of having 300 days of sunshine, mind.
If you read it really slowly, I can nip for a toilet break. It's the live texter's equivalent of playing Bohemian Rhapsody.

Niki Lauda and Nico Rosberg are having a bit of a kickabout. I have nothing humorous to add - sorry.

Qualifying delayed... againpublished at 20:22
It's been delayed by another 30 minutes, pushing us back to 21:00 BST by my calculations.
Tell my wife and daughter I love them, I fear I will never see them again.

Right. A bunch of yellow school buses are on the track, picking up marshals and photographers and the like. That could mean we're about to be put out of our misery...

Mercedes chief Niki Lauda tells BBC Sport: "The rain is so hard that no wet tyre can take the cars round safely. Why we are all wasting our time for delays, delays, delays? Tomorrow we are going to have a race."

We are 70 minutes past the original qualifying start time. It's still heaving it down. There are men in yellow cagoule pumping water off the track. Grown men are canoeing in a bucket on wheels down a pit-lane.
Surely, SURELY, it's time to admit defeat. There is no shame in quitting.
