Makes me think 1996 Footwork. (Before the TWR takeover.)

Colinjb

I hope any penalty for Hamilton is swiftly applied, Sainz deserves the chance to celebrate a third place on the podium.

Colinjb

Just horrifying, and based on the footage just so freak and brutal. Glad the other driver involved is stable and he will get the support that will probably be needed in the aftermath, my thoughts are with all concerned.

Colinjb

Clearly a superbly knowledgeable and enthusiastic chap but his voice was not right. When he got overly into the moment it truly did sound like he was in pain.

Colinjb

Bit naive of McLaren to enter a discipline they don't know and expect to be at the sharp end, surely?

Partnering with Andretti racing two years ago made far more sense.

Colinjb

If Leclerc makes those mediums last a one stop strategy, he will have the win.

Colinjb

Never mind race wins, i'm putting a fiver on Leclerc for the title.

Colinjb

Black and gold will look superb...... But agree with the statements about the company, they do seem a little off. How many weird and bizarre energy drinks have been involved with F1 now? Hype, EJ10 (A drink launched on the back of a team rather then sponsoring them per sé)...... Anyone ever actually...

Colinjb

Kimi now has this, but can Lewis have one more go at Max?

Colinjb

This is fantastic!! Come on Kimi!!!

Colinjb

Was a Minardi fan, really loved Damon Hill (he was a childhood hero) and then supported Jenson Button as his successor. Now I don't really support anyone aside from the sport itself. I am a sucker for an underdog, always like to see the dominant parties deposed and love the fact that what goes up al...

Colinjb

90's. Enough backmarkers to make it interesting and enough unreliability to make it random. I miss the Pacifics, Minardis, Simteks, Larrousses, March's, Forti's, Lolas, Central Park Modenas, Fondmetals, Colonis, Andrea Modas, Osellas, Scuderia Italias and Lifes of the world. F1 needs some unpredicta...

Colinjb

The Honda engine appears to work!!

Also, little aero-wing on the halo.

Team Laser Explosion

Colinjb

There will come a point when he will think, 'what more do I have to prove?'

If the Mercedes is not the best car on the grid over the next few years that time will come quicker.

Colinjb

Their usual cage rattling and over-the-top posturing when things are not as they please.

Personally, I wouldn't care of they left. Their politics are a bad distraction from the sport. But, they won't leave so it's a moot point.

Colinjb

26, Plus Qualifying, Plus Pre-Qualifying.

Colinjb

The talk of the tyres not lasting until the end of the race distance. Surely that isn't a concern as this race will finish on 2 hours?

Colinjb

Damn it Vettel. Far too aggressive again.

Kudos to the stewards for starting the race properly, this was a racing incident that could have been avoided if Vettel had allowed his competitors space to race.

Colinjb

So stupidly farcical. The spectacle used to benefit from a bit of rain, for it to simply cease?

Colinjb

93 prost and hill , and an easy championship for prost and it should have been mansell's , and prost never looked that interested, and damon pushed prost more than he wanted a few times Hill should have won that Championship. Had technical failures whilst leading in San Marino, Silverstone, Germany...

Colinjb

Deeply disappointed in Vettel. To react like that is a disgrace.

Colinjb

Interesting side pods...... by which I mean ugly. It is at least distinctive.

Colinjb

Love it!!

Lovely looking car and very striking.

Colinjb

Wow, so slim behind the side pods.

Underwhelming livery, lovely car.

Colinjb

Please don't be as bad as the force india, please don't be as bad as the force india.........

Colinjb

Hmmm, not great. That nose is just clumsy. After the Sauber and Renault, extremely disappointing.

Colinjb

A dreadful shame.

Fingers crossed for a miracle now.

Colinjb

Feared those points for Sauber could be terminal. So it would sadly seem.

Fingers crossed someone will pick up the pieces. Such a pity, but for that freak result in Brazil they would have made it.... but on such things sport thrives.

Colinjb

1. Verstappen (When he shone he was the brightest star, consistency is the only question mark.) 2. Hamilton (But for reliability..... As good as any of the past few seasons) 3. Rosberg (Deserved his title, but at his peak.... still wasn't indisputably at the pinnacle.) 4. Peres (His consistency lift...

Colinjb

What the actual f*&%!? A real shame we will not see him defend his title... but I can also somehow understand why he is doing this. He doesn't need to take the risk, to his health, his reputation or his family's stress levels. This is a bloody shockwave though. Ocon may be regretting not holding on....

Colinjb

I'm really going to miss him. I have supported one main driver as long as I have followed F1, it started with Nigel Mansell, then I turned my attentions to Damon Hill. With Hill's retirement I then avidly followed Jenson Button. I unashamedly followed my countrymen..... and they all became one-time ...

Colinjb

This is pathetic.

The drivers want to go and they stop it. Laughable.

Colinjb

Vettel is a disgrace. Unsportsmanlike, childish and arrogant.

Any respect I had for him is rapidly diminishing.

The language used over the radio by many drivers has been just dreadful, he should have the book thrown at him to set an example.

Colinjb

It's turning out very well for Lewis.

So glad Magnussen is ok, Incredible how the Renault soaked up that force.

Colinjb

An interesting topic. I have always wondered if it was the difference in the rules which led to him being unable/allowed insufficient time to adapt to F1. F1 had just over a year previously gone from a wide tracked, slick tyred formula to narrow track and grooved tyres. Aerodynamically the cars woul...

Colinjb

Pleasing to see everyone running so well.

Looking down the grid, the Renault does look like it could be the slowest of the lot. A good start for the Manor, they are at the very least closer to the pack and Haas looked very impressive for their first ever run.

Colinjb

I had a 156 and found it a brilliant car. It worked fine up to about 80,000 miles and then started to have the mysterious "Alfa issues". Can't really complain though, anyone that buys an Alfa knows that's whats going to happen. People look for different things from cars, you don't by an Alfa becaus...

Colinjb

It is vital. It lets you see and get a feel for the human being fighting for track position rather then just getting the perception of the vehicle they are piloting. The spectacle lost something when the cockpit sides were (rightly) raised in 1996 and would lose even more with a closed canopy.

Colinjb

Channel 4, very very interesting. They made a play to keep it away from Sky in 2011, made quite an innovative proposal.

Looking forward to seeing what they can do.
