On the one hand I can sympathise. There are limits on how good a chassis can be, without an engine to match the other two it's a hopeless endeavour.

On the other hand McLaren are even worse off, but all the chatter coming from them is positive. They gave an in it together attitude and aren't crying foul after just two races.

So to hell with Red Bull.

They should just man up, work with Renault to get the most out of their current package and stop their constant bitching and moaning. It's like listening to Man Utd or Chelsea fans moaning that their team gets picked on by the ref or FA.

Mercedes massive superiority was in evidence again today and Hamilton was cruising so much that he almost had his elbow out the cockpit his gangsta chain swinging in the breeze, just too easy for him. Ultimately that is what pissed Rosberg off too, Hamilton had the beating of him and the rest of the field, only two laps did he turn the wick up when Rosberg and Vettle pitted ... dullish race unfortunately but I am a Hamilton the racing driver (Not the rap/gangsta) fan so I enjoy seeing him show just how good he is in a car that showcases his ability.

Well said. I too enjoy seeing Hamilton take wins, because his talent is undeniable.
The entire weekend he has been in charge.

And Rosberg complaining that the race leader / race winner didn't drive fast enough amuses me.
Seems he is getting fed up not being able to challenge Hamilton.

oh, and I'm a Verstappen fan as well now.

Reminds me of how Vettel was able to show how good he was in the Red Bull that allowed him to showcase his ability.......for several seasons.

The hilarity competition was a close run thing between Chrashta Maldonado and the Chinese marshalls!

If Hamilton was so slow he was holding Rosberg back how come Rosberg wasn't fast enough to catch key alone pass Hammy.

More sauerkraut?

Was kimi laughing about getting the cars out of his way .


And the bit with the Marshalls destroying the front wing of the STR was amusing.

Is this how it's going to be this season. Every other race a bit boring. Granted further down the field it was interesting. Burton had a great battle. Shame he cocked up in the end.
