Been really impressed with Nico's and Daniels performance in Qualification. Wishing them both well in the Race.

Hard to imagine Williams just shy off the pace of a Ferrari(Vettel)..

Apart from Mercedes, quite a split from team mates in Qualification. :?

There were talks 2 years ago that more manufactures should enter F1, making it a 24 car line up. Would love to see that :)

Oh well!..... :(

It's like watching 2 different races at the moment........Slight concern with Mercs when Bottas on pole tho,lewis knows he'll
have a long race in front of him, if he don't get Bottas by first couple turns...and he'll wanna win this one....70th anniversary
and all that....so could be some fun..needs to get him by Luffield...we'll see... hope its a good race...last one only came alive
at the end..

TV coverage has been good lately, whereby they focus on where the racing is and not watch the Mercedes' parade round at the front.
Hopefully Hulkenberg will have a good race as I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of him.

Gotta admit didn't see that coming...great drive tho,especially when his crew told Vest to back off, save tyres...
I'm not driving like Grandma... :lol: Brilliant..

Mercedes to powerful for the Tyres...crazy...like said before amazing how finely tuned and how bang on you have to be
with the set up with these things..even the track being slightly warmer made a difference yesterday.

Great to see a different winner for a change this year. :)

I was shocked to see Bottas dropped to 3rd in the WC :shock:

Both Bottas and Verstappen had DNF's and thought Bottas was closer to Hamilton. 4 points separate those to drivers and Hamilton now with a 30 point advantage over Verstappen who sits 2nd.

Another hot race in Spain next weekend. Can Mercedes manage their tyres better? :?

Bloody brilliant! :lol:

Great to have some characters in the sport rather than the bland 'say-what-they're-told-to-say' corporate robots.
