    What else is new. Hope Vettel can stay ahead of him now. Forza Ferrari.

    Lance Stroll's daddy buying him a * team now, ffs.

    Stroll = worst driver > Force India = best seat
    Vandoorne = 2nd-worst driver > Sauber = better seat
    Ocon = best driver > McLaren = worst seat
    Kubica = one-armed man > Williams = lol
    Ericson = get tae *

    Noticed SkySports F1 are basically rerunning the 2014 season this week.
    Aussie GP was on earlier today and next at 4pm is a rerun of the Malaysian GP.
    Tomorrow is China and Bahrain - I am assuming they are going to run the whole season at this point, so worth a watch.

    So Sebastian Vettel is leaving Ferrari and they have signed Carlos Sainz as his replacement. In turn McLaren have signed Daniel Ricciardo from Renault, does this leave only Renault as a possibility for Vettel?

    Big move for Sainz and a gamble for Ferrari. Surprised Riccardo didn't get the Ferrari seat, puts a lot of pressure on Leclerc going forward.

    Fernando could be a good option for Renault with Ocon there, Don't think Ferrari wanted Ricciardo as he could challenge LeClerc. Seems like Sainz will get a chance similar to Bottas good support driver

    Yeah I was thinking Fernando Alonso but at 39 and in the midfield would he want that?(unless Renault pull a rabbit out of the hat but I doubt it).

    I think Ricciardo seen the McLaren last season which he could have driven which beat his works team with the same engine and then thought about the incoming Mercedes engine and signed up straight away.

    As for Sainz, I think he is underrated as if you look at his Toro Rossi form he ran Verstappen close but was overlooked at Red Bull. I think he could be as competitive as LeClerc and maybe Ferrari might find themselves fighting it out over the title of they can manage a season without self combusting

    This Italian Grand Prix is very interesting.
    Hamilton looking like a * using a scooter to go and moan to the race stewards. He might be a bit unlucky but he broke the rules and has been rightfully punished.

    He doesn’t need to try to be a *. He just is one.

    Absolutely nuts.
    what was it, turn 3 of the start of the race?

    Car ripped in two, exploded, flames everywhere.

    Driver fine, reported some minor burns, but otherwise fine.

    Halo thing being praised, seems to be what has saved him

    New F1 Season off and Running!
    (Bahrain)
    1 - Hamilton
    2 - Verstappen
    3 - Bottas
    4 - Norris
    5 - Perez

    Usual suspects up top!
    Lando Norris looks impressive, solid drive from him in the McLaren.

    Really enjoyed the race today. Don’t like Hamilton but the way he held on was impressive.
    Going to be a good season by the look of things.
