With its 1.4 mile straight this race is expected to be dominated by the silver arrows based on Helmut Marko's comments

For all the human rights stuff that everyone is talking about, the circuit and scenery is absolutely beautiful. I'm impressed for sure.

Oh you'll have to pick some WAGs. It's what keeps me coming back to these threads. Always good fun.

Watched the quali session. I have my reservations about this track. It is too narrow to be safe IMO. If there is a pile-up at T 8-10 during the opening lap, it will mean cars get held up on the grid with no way around.

In any case - great performance by Sergio Perez. Too bad he has the penalty. Great job by Nico and poor job by Lewis. But I think it had more to do with the track than Lewis' skill. JB got knocked out in Q1 because of traffic. A link to the results follows below. I think everyone should just record the race and focus on the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Watch the F1 race once Le Mans has concluded.

Voted Ricciardo.

WAG's- Rosberg will not finish, HAAS gets points, a McLaren will finish ahead of Mercedes. Kimi will finish ahead of Vettel.

Easy easy easy race for Rosberg. Great job to Perez for getting another podium and passing up Kimi fair and square.
