Pierre Gasly and the NSX. Think the Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers have access to Honda cars. Red Bull drivers get access to Aston Martins as that company is the teams title sponsor. Gasly is driving for Red Bull this season so maybe he now has keys to an Aston.

I hope that young Max gets in the right situation in time to get the WDC

Looks to me that Vettel is burning out.

Hamilton/Bottas will be very interesting. Wait until "team orders" asks Lewis to let Valteri by

^ Agreed. It will be nice to see other drivers win. Hopefully it will be someone other than Seb and Lewis all the time. Max V and the Honda look promising for a race win. Leclerc looks very good in that Ferrari too.

and I liked Bottas' message on the radio after the race - "To whom it may concern," he said over the radio on the slowing down lap. "F*** you."

Maybe it was payback for Toto calling him a wingman last season

This video is a good primer of the current teams and their back stories

Also how about Red Bull HONDA? While the first race is usually no indication of what will come later, all the Honda engines finished the race.
Watching McLaren having the first car out of the race with an engine failure, and all the Honda engined cars finish and be on the podium was a real slap at McLaren and their judgement. They seem about as relevant as Williams right now.

Anyone as happy as me watching Ferrari fail...again?

Vettel with his usual mistakes and a Ferrari equipment failure...love it!

My wife was on the phone and I watched the last 15 laps muted, I was watching the deficit between LeClerc
and Hamilton drop like a stone...I had to rewind it and watch with the sound on to figure out what was up!

I’m not a Ferrari guy, but Leclerc was robbed yesterday. I think he is the best thing to have happened to that team.

Didnt make a great start, but kept his cool and worked back into the lead. Then after the issue, he was so gracious in defeat. Really admire those qualities. They are very rare in today’s age.

Much as im a Honda guy, I’d like to see Leclerc do well this season.

Ferrari were caught with what they’re calling an “AF duct” at post-Bahrain scrutineering. It’s a clever setup of using the clutch as a supercharger.

caught? Does that imply that they were doing something against the rules?
