Thanks for that
It totally passed my by that each team was formulating fuel to work specifically with their engine
Puts the poor sods with customer engines at an immediate disadvantage

Since the fuel is supposed to be "pump" fuel I wonder what they're being allowed to modify to get that much of an advantage

Renault to stop supplying engines to other F1 teams, and the relationship with Red Bull is likely to end this year.

Carlos Ghosn, Renault Chairman on engine supply says "it's over ...". However, Renault are in the process of negotiating a takeover of Lotus.

Judging by FP2, this GP could be one of the best of the season.

Merc having troubles keeping their tires last as long as the red bull and ferrari, so the long run pace of merc are slightly slower than both of them.
But I'm still expecting Mercedes to get the pole.
Looked like they might split strategy as well, judging by Rosberg's runs in FP2.

Mercs on front row, with at least four faster cars right behind them..?
