Planet F1 Top Three Championship 2014: Spain Lewis Hamilton continued his rich vein of form with another victory in Spain and his team-mate, Nico Rosberg , kept up his challenge for the F1 World Drivers' Championship with a respectable second place. Daniel Ricciardo finished third to take his first...

Any time I don't update immediately after a race, it seems something gets in the way... This time we've unfortunately had a family emergency, which I won't go into, but if I don't update today it will probably be the weekend, I'm afraid.

It is coming, though!

Jenson's Understeer wrote:So now feels like a good time to ask this: is there a bonus for a team perfect podium?!

I considered it... But I think it's better to have the teams score points purely from the Singles Championship.

Update coming tomorrow.

I had intended to send everyone a message on Friday morning, but something came up that meant I couldn't get on here to do it. Not to worry - there's still plenty of time to catch up

Unfortunately, Schumi4ever and Neutrality's picks were after the deadline. Sorry guys.

The one thing that bugs me - and I'm aware it's completely trivial and has no bearing on the excellent pieces that Sky have produced - is the intro music. The part where Alistair Griffin would sing "I'll take it to the edge where I have died a thousand times or "I'll take it to the edge where I have...

Because he doesn't have to push the car anywhere near 100% with a substandard teammate and no other cars at his machine's level of pace. If this "substandard" teammate can often match Hamilton, what does that make him? We must be watching two different versions of races then. Was Rosberg not faster...

So many similar picks. If something a little different happens those of you who are a bit bold will clean up. pubpokerplayer might just get lucky with Bottas in 3rd. Very interesting so far. Agreed. The top two are pretty much a given (in whichever order), unless they run into problems, but nobody ...

Planet F1 Top Three Championship 2014: Bahrain Well... what a race!

If Merc wouldn't have switched Nicos strategy, he would have won. So yes ... this is "team doing". It was probably a case of "whoever's ahead at the end of lap 1 gets the best strategy", rather than the team favouring Lewis outright. No its who is leading before the first pit stop. Like all the tea...

This is awesome!

Vettel could nick 3rd here.

CarlPotter

This race is great. I don't care who wins; this is exactly the kind of race F1 needs, given the amount of negativity surrounding the sport recently.

CarlPotter

He had a phenomenal start! Not looking likely he'll hold on to 3rd, though.

CarlPotter

Hamilton, Rosberg, Massa? End the race. Now.

Ok, I know I was meant to update yesterday, but I think I'll have to do it tomorrow. You take one day off work and you pay for it the rest of the week! Just got in and still have loads of work to do, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to update properly. It's definitely coming, I promise!

It could be that Williams are taking the opportunity to give Nasr some experience to prepare for the possibility of Bottas leaving. Let's face it: Williams have been underperforming for years.

I think it all depends on how quickly the drivers get to grips (no pun intended) with the handling of the cars. Everything is a bit new and unknown at the moment, but by the time they get to Belgium or Japan, for instance, they'll have a much better understanding of what they can or can't do. That's...
