There's a "but I'm in Claire Williams" pun to be made here but I can't quite work it out.

Verstappen is a freaking moron.

It is one thing to bin it in FP3 testing the limits or while fighting for pole but you don't need to push a Red Bull to make Q2

It's sadly no surprise that there was a Bentley involved in this.

He's no relation to the F1 Palmers btw.

Pouty hamilton was so annoying. Ok he missed out on his first run, but it wasn't the teams fault he hosed up his first flying lap and didnt do a great job on the second one.

Baby, I've had all my shots and I'm fine

so I haven't paid attention to F1 for two or so years, and I remembered Monaco was this weekend, anything interesting I should know? What I know is: Vettelsreich is over, the Verstappenreich is upon us; I see something on Wikipedia about a 'Pole Trophy' which makes me giggle like a 3rd grader; they race in Baku in a few weeks, of all places, but both India and Korea are kaput; and Rosberg is somehow leading, acing the first four races?!

I miss anything important?

Yeah, you missed the famous Duel In The Desert where Hamilton whines "I've got no power" while having an identical car to Rosberg.

Next race at Monaco is Renault 2.0 in 20 minutes - if the weather hasnt changed from how the Porsche race ended im not sure that race will even happen, its THAT bad

I predict F1 starting behind safety car unless there's a dramatic weather change in the next couple of hours

Pastor Maldonado talking to F1 teams about 2017 return

quote:

Pastor Maldonado is speaking to a number of Formula 1 teams about a return to the grid in 2017 after losing his Lotus/Renault seat over the winter. The Venezuelan was replaced by Kevin Magnussen for this season, bringing to an end a five-year career in F1.

"I really want to have my second chance because I still feel I have a lot to do in F1," Maldonado told Autosport. "My plan is to return to Formula 1. It was not too bad to stay away for one year as it has given me time to reflect.

"We have started conversations with teams and we are trying to negotiate something for next year."

Maldonado was personally sponsored by PDVSA, his country's state-owned oil and gas giant, to the tune of around $46million per year. PDVSA became involved in a dispute with Renault over payments that resulted in it opting to tear up its deal, leaving Maldonado without a seat.

With several drivers out of contract next year, Maldonado believes he is an attractive proposition to teams.

"I'm not a rookie who needs to restart for zero," said Maldonado, who has conducted significant tyre testing for Pirelli this year.

"After five years in F1, I feel I can do a very good job." The 31-year-old made 95 starts in F1, with the highlight being his 2012 Spanish Grand Prix victory with Williams. However, for most of his time in F1, Maldonado believes he did not have a car with which he could deliver consistently. "I never had the car to show my talent," he said. "When I was with Williams, we won a race and 2012 was a good season. "But the other two seasons were not so good and at Lotus, it was a bit the same - I never had a chance to be at a good level.

"I would like a good car, maybe not the best but a car that allows me to show my potential and be in the points regularly."

He thinks he can get a drive based on pure talent, without PDVSA money. Good luck, Pastor!

Racing in any rain is slowly dying in F1. Hope its nothing more then a drizzle or we'll get a red flag and 2 hrs of waiting.

Renault 2.0 race is underway anyway but very wet.

An American just crashed heavily trying to turn right. This happened under a safety car.

Well Pastor Maldonado has won a race before so he's automatically better than 2/3 of the current grid.
