Re: Anyone fed up with the amount of criticism Maldonado get

Nope. If anything just fed up of seeing him on the grid year after year when for the teams, is pretty much banking a liability.

Fast, maybe. But to finish first, first you have to finish.

Re: Did you notice the better engine sounds in this race?

Sparks are in the wishlist of those that want to see the same cars as ye olden days of F1. Years of progress and we're asking for the same as we had?! File it under the "Ohhhh the JPS Lotus is back", and "I wonder if McLaren are going to use the old Marlboro livery now they are with Honda"

Merhi's helmet = Hamilton's old helmet?!

I've just seen this on the PF1 gallery

It is very very similar to Hamiltons old design!

In his Force India days, those logos were on his helmet only I thought as they were personal to sponsoring him and not the team as such.

They went silver due to the West sponsorship that started in 1997 and it was just coincidental that they were running Merc engines And that was Silver and Black.
