Formula 1

Grosjean doing a great job in the Haas so far.

Will prove to be a fantastic signing for the new boys.

Haas are using the '16 Ferrari engine, aren't they? No wonder Grosjean is looking so good at the moment but he's always been a very capable driver.

They bought as many parts from Ferrari as the rules allowed as far as I'm aware.

Very smart way to make your way into F1.

Williams seem to be struggling a little so far this season or maybe some of the others have caught them over the winter.

They're effectively a Ferrari B team.
Changing the game as far as smaller teams competing in F1 is concerned.
I think it's great.

Will probably force the likes of Manor and Sauber to change their business model,
but if it keeps more teams on the grid then great.

Lewis with a 5 place penalty this weekend for changing a gearbox.

More chances for Nico in these early stages of the season.

Has the change of mechanics between team Hamilton & Rosberg disturbed something in Lewis's camp?..

Merc must be scrathching their heads on this?..

What did everyone think of the Red Bull 'window' then?

The lad's piss poor half arsed afternoon in Swansea gave me the opportunity to turn the Grand Prix on. Decent race - Rosberg winning again. 4 straight wins but in all honesty 4 fortunate victories where he hasn't been challenged because of Lewis's troubles. Did a good job today did Lewis however. Didn't get involved in the stramash at the start and a nice overtake on Kimi to boot as well. Surely things will start going right for him in Spain in two weeks time??

One for the Aussies in the house

Superb show by new Red Bull driver Verstappen so far. Hamilton seems to have found the speed in Q2 and Alonso takes McLaren Honda into Q3 for the first time ever since the Japanese manufacturer reunited. Sainz also showing his sheer quality by outperforming new team mate Kvyat. Q3 coming up.

Great quali session. Hamilton gets pole with a storming lap despite looking slower than Nico all weekend. Red Bull's looking strong - Verstappen the star of the show...until Riccardio put the car on third reminding everyone that the Dutchman will have to go some to beat he Aussie!

GREATNESS

Just caught up with todays qualifying.

Great viewing and it's a joy to watch young Max at the moment.

Ricciardo has a good fight on his hands with the kid.

Ferrari disappointing but great to see McLaren make the top 10.

It was a fantastic session wasn't it. Ferrari's seem to have taken a step back considering where they were pre season and looking certain to cement their second place status AND maybe even close the gap on Mercedes.

Delighted to see F1 return to the classic European circuits. Such a shocking disregard for the sport's heritage and culture otherwise.

It was a great session mate.

Like you say its good to be back to the classic circuits even though I really do like some of the new ones.

I'm hoping to go to a GP next year and am torn between Spa, Monza and Silverstone and here.

Monza or Spa has always been a dilemma for me. If I was looking for atmosphere I'd choose Monza and of course I'd also love to try Monte Carlo but for the sheer thrill, speed and heritage I think Spa would just edge it and would probably be my ultimate choice. Greatest race track in the world and in such a unique location as well in the Ardennes Forest!

First time in a while I've looked forward to a race this afternoon. Think there could be some interesting battles. Will be so interesting to see how Verstappen gets on. Is it too early to say we've got a driver in the calibre of Senna, Schumacher? Don't think a driver has reminded me as much of Michael as this guy.

Spa always come back as my front runner as well.

You been to a race live mate?

Sadly not. Like yourself I've been in a dilemma as to where and when. Silverstone would be the obvious choice but ideally it would be between Belgium and Italy. People always say that it's a 'television sport' but I really don't think so. From what I've heard from those who have been to Grand Prixs the experience of soaking up the atmosphere and hearing and seeing these machines live is unparalleled and one of the most sought after live sporting experiences. With new technology and everything it becomes even easier to monitor all the track action even if you are two miles away from the pit straight on the other side of the race track! I've often found it tough to watch the sport over the last couple of years but attending a live race would reignite my love of the sport without doubt.

CARNAGE!

MERCEDES TAKE EACH OTHER OUT!

Ridiculous driving both out amazing, Hamilton at fault for me.

Oops!

Bit naughty by Nico there 

Some now blaming Rosberg now
