    I think we saw it confirmed that McLaren have a flawed car.Aston Martin might be a bit closer to the front and it would be a bold move to bet against Red Bull collecting a lot of trophies.

    They can find lots of ways to increase the price to the level of pain you might desire.

    It would seem that Ricciardo has made a wise career move at last!
    There is nothing quite as permanent as a good temporary repair.

    I watched some testing, the word Chiropracter and the phrase 'back surgery' comes to mind. Have they ever been so hard riding?

    You may be able to find the documentary about the Williams team in 1980 online somewhere.At one point Alan Jones suggested removing the springs and running with solid suspension.They did,for a short time.A number of the engineers may be busy acquainting themselves with the interactions of aero maps and wheel rates and they should have done so earlier.

    I ask because I may have missed Le Mans. Would have covered and dropped a lot of Earth to see the 100th.

    he's my favourite driver

    but it would be great to see more than two teams challenging for a win on any given sunday
    i know its early but imagine ferrari, redbull, mercedes, aston martin, alfa romeo mixing it up, rather than just seeing max verstappen drive away from the field in every race

    verstappen very fast in practice

    mercedes disappointing thus far

    If Alonzo was driving for RedBull would he be world champion?

    The interaction between both RedBull drivers could be interesting this season.

    Well there's one for the books. A team wins a protest, Alonso reinstated to the podium.

    Sir Ham says this has been his best trip Down Under. A few days in Byron Bay, dinner with the Obamas, and a better performing car all adding to it. The support races have been excellent. Lots of Air Force action overhead... and just had a display by a Spitfire.
