Looks like the Red Fiats are a bit faster this season, I want Alonso to do well this year but it’s not looking too promising so far.
Lewis has a mountain to climb to get up the grid from 9th place .

{CLICK HERE FOR SPOILER}I wonder if the McLaren performance is a bit of glitch or a sign for the season? The Team giving up $100M by dumping Honda Engines and then seeing Honda coming in way ahead in qualifying must make for a nervous weekend for the McHead Honchos  I really thought they would be challenging RBR with equal chassis quality albeit less Renualt familiarity? |

Think another lap or two and Bottas would have passed Vettel, Hamilton done well to get onto the Podium .
Raikkonen has been slated for not showing more concerns about his injured mechanic, turns out in getting run over he’s broken his lower leg (snapped ! ).
Alonso done well to get up the grid but the team must be disappointed to see a Honda powered car ahead of them
In the points . |

Far by far better race, at least some action & fighting going on, I don't think Bottas would have ever got past in the next 10 laps, I'm getting more & more disillusioned with him, he's turning into the next David Coulthard, although a good driver, will never be a great driver, just doesn't have that killer instinct.
Kimi, Well, I know he couldn't have done anything, the medics were all around, he probably did the right thing letting them get on with it without his hindrance, BUT I know I would not have been able to be that calculated & would have had to have gone over.
Maclaren's well that was a real kick in the balls, you have to wonder if it's not the engine where the issue lies, but something within their package or their team. Okay they were the guinea pigs, but for Torro Rosso to do in 2 races something they could not do in 3 seasons 50+ races.
