    Is it going too far to starting thinking of Verstappen as a faster version of Maldonado? The guy seems incapable of making a clean pass. D***head indeed.

    I don't think Vettel actually meant to hit Hamilton's car. It was still a stupid thing to do and a DQ from Baku would have been appropriate. More than that would have been too much.

    I think Vettel...

    This one will be about tyres. If Mercedes have indeed solved their problems they'll win. If not it will be Ferrari's day. Montreal has always been pretty tough on tyres so Mercedes will need to both...

    If Ferrari were simply going to ask Raikkonen to move over they would have done so and not played games with pit stops. There's a piece on JAonF1 that looks at the situation from both sides of the...

    Bottas qualified 0.045s behind Raikkonen at Monaco, a circuit that played to Ferrari's strengths - not a power circuit, better suits shorter wheelbase cars, soft end of the tyre spectrum, high track...

    Vettel needed this, a bunch of very quick laps and a slightly slow stop for Raikkonen to only just come out of the pits ahead. But some ignore all that and say Ferrari screwed him over. It's much...

    Despite being undeniable I'm going to do just that. Raikkonen simply wasn't on Vettel's pace which was pretty obvious by Vettel going from 1.17s behind Raikkonen to 1.15s in clear air. Even with that...

    I think we'll have to wait and see whether Mercedes are on top of their tyre issues. It was pretty clear that Pirrelli brought the wrong compounds to Barcelona. Did anybody even look at the hard...

    All else being equal the Mercedes is still a quicker car than the Ferrari. Despite the result in Russia I expect more Mercedes front row starts than those for Ferrari so I think the advantage lies...

    Obviously I'm delighted to see a competitive car from Maranello. A lot has to go right but maybe this won't be the first decade in the team's history that they fail to win at least one championship....

    They deserve credit for it as they've done a fantastic job but I can't help but feel that the rules have pretty much prevented the other teams from countering the Mercedes advantage (I'll admit the...

    I think you need a decent gap between 1st and 2nd. Winning the race should be the best and quickest way to the championship. With the small gap you have described a DNF is penalised much more than a...

    Alonso got rogered by a Lotus twice in the closing stages of 2012 which cost him the title. There's nothing to say the same thing couldn't happen to Hamilton.

    Red Bull bitched about the Renault engine even when they were winning championships so nothing's really changed except the car isn't great and Red Bull don't seem to want to acknowledge it.

    The ex-driver steward was Alan Jones, the 1980 WDC. He's a fairly no-nonsense guy it would seem. I don't think much of him as a commentator (on Australia TV) but I think he can tell the difference...
