Hulkenberg clearly didn't think he could make the top ten so he pressed the wheel release button to guarantee his P10 place. Shocking tactics.

Could we potentially see a situation here where the top teams deliberately keep their cars in the pits during the last few minutes of the qualifying sessions to ensure that it appears as terrible as it was in Australia?

Rosberg would have had that pole but for some balance issues! They came out of nowhere. Also the accident yesterday made him a little apprehensive. LH is so lucky

Haha! Briliant.

3 in a row in Monaco, Rosberg is a specialist on this track...

This is amazing.

Benici

Don't worry, we've still got Azerbaijan on the cards.

If Bernie can now get rid of Spa, Silverstone and Monza, I think we're well on the way to F1 becoming camel racing in the desert.

Benici

I like to see this type of thing. A fascinating insight into Rosberg's mindset. Screw the team, he wants to see his teammate DNF because realistically it's his only chance of a World Championship if Hamilton continues to drive the way he did.

Seb 1 - Nico 0

A very bad season opening. Several cars circulating at big intervals; it felt like a feeder series race. The rules are just preposterous at this point. Teams forced to field essentially untested cars and to use econo-mode for the entire race distance, both to save fuel and protect the PUs. I've bee...

I wonder how the cost factor, performance factor and entertainment factor would be without the batteries/hybrid energy recovery part of the equation, 1.6 litre turbo engines, unlimited boost, no engine restrictions, they could even base them on production blocks and get over 1000hp. We would still ...

Arnie needs to be the permanent podium interviewer! Brilliant.

There's clearly a small minority of f***wits in the crowd booing at everything. Idiots.

Ricciardo, the top Renault finisher, lapped by Mercedes. Ouch.

Benici

Before Ferrari fans get too excited, remember that last year Scuderia always looked better than they actually were, and Williams never showed their hand until Saturday. We'll see what's what tomorrow. True, but the improvements Ferrari have shown in testing were noted up and down the paddock. The c...

No way Ric replaces Kimi. Vettel would hate it. Probably...does it matter what Vettel thinks? The italians would love it. Ricciardo's Father was born in Sicily and his Mother's family are italian too (according to wiki). Obviously, I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek but, seeing as Red Bull's star coul...

I don't agree.

Oh. I thought this would unite the forum.

Wow!

And that's 'Thank You and Goodnight' from Mercedes.

The Merc's just gone out on soft tyres. This should be interesting!

Look at that downward curve from the air intake above the drivers head. The Merc makes all the other cars look flabby.

He would have moved to Formula mc^2

If they're also not allowed to share information then even this could be tricky.

As far as I know this isn't allowed. I think starting from 2010 it has been required by the rules that each competitor designs his own car. Customer cars are prohibited.

Ah, thanks. Didn't know.

Benici

Imagine if McLaren did help out Caterham. With those noses they'd be the Ugly Sisters. And we already have Button(s). You can tell it's Pantomine season.

Benici

I'm assuming it'd be too late to build a 2015 car for Caterham even with Mclarens tech and backing? and if so modifying the 2014 car for the honda engine seems like a reasonably big job What about giving Caterham a modified version of the 2014 McLaren? They already got one that the Honda engine fit...

Benici

This is all getting very interesting all of a sudden.

Benici

Given how the initial test of the Honda engine went it would make a lot of sense of they could use Caterham as a b-team. And it would keep Magnussen fresh and ready for a race seat at McLaren in a couple of years. Hmm, could this be one of the reasons this driver line-up took so long to announce?

Benici

Am I the only one disappointed to hear this? Jenson just like Webber, Barrichello and many drivers before them is one of the veteran "good but nothing special" drivers. I would much rather see Magnussen have a second season or a fresh rookie that could be a real new talent have a chance. We all kno...

Looks like Button has signed for 2 years. https://twitter.com/adamcooperF1/status ... 3081314304

Great news. Let's see what he can do.

Benici

Am I the only one who hates this kind of journalism from the BBC. It IS NOT confirmed yet but will be in a couple of hours. So just wait until then.

Benici

I've just heard that a last minute sponsorship deal with Danepak has saved Magnussen's bacon.

Are you suggesting Alonso would be stupid enough to leave Ferrari without having another guaranteed seat? Obviously not. He announced his departure from Ferrari AFTER he knew the McLaren deal was done, as it should be. On the other hand, McLaren wanted him back since long ago. And now Honda want hi...

Jeez, it's called MOTORsport. A motor is an engine. Merc built the best engine. It's up to everyone else to build better ones.

I'm assuming Maldonado was driving the truck.

How is that article in any way confirmation?

Benici

I fear a little bit for Rosberg if he wins the title because of double points. I think we may see a resurgence of the booing and negative comments seen after the Spa incident. As far as Mercedes is concerned I believe that privately now they might prefer Hamilton to win it rather than have their 201...
