I have no strong feelings regarding Ricciard but I sure hope Red Bull finally fucks off.

Lets get Minardi back and maybe Alfa Romeo too.

Apparently, no driver has ever lost the championship after winning the first three races. I will therefore watch with interest to see how Nico manages it

Shouldn't Vettel have been penalized for passing those two cars while under a safety car? I know Hulkenberg was penalized for slowing down but wasn't that while he was in the pit lane?

you are allowed to pass in the pit lane before the line under the safety car, crofty red out the rules. I believe the rules were clarified to the Nth degree after that time Kimi backed everyone else up by going 2mph while ferrari double stacked.

I usually ignore the stats and history stuff that the commentators use to fill the gaps between talking over each other, but this one is interesting.

It's weird seeing the dislike for Nico bubble up in the thread...like it did for Seb when he was dominating (and then disappeared when he went to Ferrari)...almost as if anyone who does well is disliked until they inevitably (because no one is perfect) slip and falter...? I get that Lewis acts like a twat quite a lot but Seb and Nico are pretty likeable (OK, apart from Seb's initial reaction to Kyvat's first corner driving).

Did mercedes comment on the damage to Lewis' car at all? I would think he was running with a serious disadvantage after running over his own front wing what with the floor be so vital to aero.

Great race with some actual strategic excitement and lots of passing, yet some of you still are not happy...

Ever since he told Martin (in the ITV days) in an interview at the German GP that there are no funny German jokes, I've been a fan. Not his BIGGEST fan, but that interview definitely moved him up a few notches. He's had some moments like at Turkey with Webbah and the freakout when Ricciardo hit the track marker at Abu Dhabi (I think it was him/there?) so I can see how people use that to blow up any dislike they have for him, but as a Dude To Hang Out With, he's probably pretty cool, like Nico.

He almost got overtaken at the end by a Toro Rosso so I'm pretty sure the car wasn't right in some way shape or form. I believe Merc said the floor was damaged from the wing at some point.

in the interests of full disclosure, I don't like Nico. The root of my dislike is basically "I don't think he's that good" (He's obviously still a great driver and better than many on the grid) but because this is a sport, half the fun comes from exaggerating our likes/dislikes to extreme proportions. So it's easy to take that dislike and turn it into STRONG dislike when he wins like he did yesterday, when the only person capable of beating him had to start from the back of the grid.

VVVVV Yeah, that.

I was going to complain about the lack of availability of old races and cool footage but then I remembered that the FIA yearly review videos are reasonably priced, have a good narrator/commentator who remains neutral, are over 4 hours long with another hour of extras. One of the better features about them is that they don't designate a time slot per race. For example on the 2015 DVD the Spanish GP is only 7 mins long but the US GP is 15 mins long, and from 2008 onwards the entertainment value started to rise as the FIA decided to stop censoring all of the paddock drama and go warts and all. No it's not the same as watching the full race but if you just want to watch the cool poo poo without British commentators banging on about British drivers and filling time talking bollocks then they are well worth it.

The reviews are FIA and not FOM though, you can tell this because they are not £80. It's part of the rights deal, FIA got the exclusive to physical releases. It's why you don't get best of Scudaria Ferrari DVDs and the like.

If the FOM did that they would be hit with lawsuits from all those broadcast companies who have paid through the nose to be allowed to show highlights. 2020 is when all the contracts get torn up and the teams finally get to tell Bernie and the FOM to go gently caress themselves over broadcast stuff and payments.

Reminder that Webber had the exact same car as Vettel. Not sure if this makes him more or less of a fraud than a man who spent a great deal of his career in a car that was cobbled together from the bits Schumacher didn't want.

Refreshing to see three diffrent teams on the podium.

I'm loving Lewis's continued downward spiral.
