Formula One 2014

Bottas and Grosjean great laps coming in 4th and 5th. Roy will be happy for the first time this year.

I am stoked! Hope Romain can bring it home in 4th!

I dunno. I always assumed it was a control fuel like the v8 supercars run, but they were saying at the start of q1 that the fuel supplier to redbull are expecting to gain 1/10th of a second from their new blend.

Whatever they have been using has been damaging the nearly infallible fuel flow sensors.

Maldonado Says Crash wasn't his fault

I can't believe sponsors still want to put their name to him. And I think he could have saved it if he hadn't locked up just before he hit the wall. Car looked like it was about to swing back

Anyway, great to see Dan up there again. Not so great to see that Mercedes are 1 second ahead of everyone. It's hard to believe that they are so far ahead, surely it can't all be engine?

Maldonado has scored 1 point in the last 24 F1 races. Michael Schumacher has scored more points in that time

[89CAL]

It shows how much better a driver Grosjean is then Maldonado, seen as they were put in the same basket a few years ago

I think Maldonado annoys me so much because he constantly screws up then blames everyone/everything but himself, when alot of the problems seem like rookie errors

The issue now is that its a good thing he has bought money to Lotus now. But I'm worried for what will happen to the team when he decides they must be against him like Williams were because he isn't winning races, and by then Lotus may have lost alot of potential sponsors because of Maldonado. I don't want Lotus to fail

[djr81]

That is pretty harsh. The Lotus looked down right evil out there. Fair enough he screwed up but the thing isn't exactly a limo to drive, even by F1 standards.

Oh and go Dan. 4:1.

Vettel complaining of a potentially broken rear bar on the out lap

[mad082]

Maldonado showing his skill once again.......

[Aggroman]

I wanna hear a warning before the next race saying "pastor is next to you on the grid steer well clear of him. We want no incidents this race"

[ctjet]

must say though, this new penalty system is working a treat

5 second stop-go is much more appropriate than a drive through

at least one rule change this year has added to the specticle

[chus13]

It's been a pretty tame race so far.

Needs moar safety car

[Missileman]

fcuk the safety cart, let the mercs battle it out for top spot, looks like dan has kicked botas for 3rd

[ctjet]

for real though, vettel is driver of the day

[ctjet]

all hail your new german overloards

[JAS-25T]

this.

The scary part is that LH was struggling with the car the whole time. I reckon there is a better chance that Merc sort out the handling faster than Renault sort out their PU.

Romain had a cracker! Had problems all race but still grabbed a solid 8th. Was good for a 5th olr 6th if the think ran on all 6 cylinders for the whole GP.

So RBR is clear no.2...from there its l;ooking rather close between Fezz and Williams with Force India and Lotus sticking their noses in from time to time.

LOL, all hail King Dennis...he is doing a stella job at McLaren!!!!

Yeah it really was a glimpse of the old vettel.

I dont think the Lotus has the speed to defend down the straights problems or not at the moment sadly

[Roy]

If you looked at the Lotus during the early and closing laps it had the lap speed to keep the Williams honest and Fezz behind....problem was they had an instrument problem that cut power for periods of the race and at times was only running on 5 cylinders

Keen to see how Romain goes at Monaco...god knows he over drove last year and had a shocker
