i'm sure he will whine an excuse..... wrong tyres for a start

 

I like Button, seems like a genuine guy & at least he shows loyalty to those who have supported his career.

 

Button retires. Problem? Or McLaren saving the engine/transmission/power units? Like RBR did with Ricciardo last week

 

That was some of the best racing we've had in a long long time. Who says these new cars & regulations are boring?

Now for the F.I.A. to stamp really hard on Maldonado, he is bloody dangerous but at least Gutierrez is OK & has been taken to hospital for a check up. It could have been a hell of a lot worse.

 

5 place grid penalty and 3 points for mal next race

 

Was the most entertaining race for years.

 

I agree. Close inter team racing all up and down the field. I think Ricciardo raised some questions about Vettel, Hamilton took strike 2 against Rosberg, there is nothing to choose between the Williams cars, Ferrari are going to have a new team principal and drivers this time next year, Hulkenberg is proving he is worthy of a top drive, Perez gave Force India a podium they deserved and Mclaren were unlucky but that will change as they have a good car.

 

What did they expect with these low noses, it's an accident waiting to happen.

 

Lower noses or not Maldanado is an accident looking for a place to happen, he's way past his level of competency in F1.

 

Best race in years

 

Awesome race! I tend to dislike Bahrain visually and have found the racing a bit stale in the past due to the effect of testing, but the lights helped the former and the racing was absolutely top notch... even if it almost looked like an audition for the sequel to Noah at times

 

Oh agreed about MAL but could have been any driver.

MAL is way too aggressive look what he did at Monaco when he purposely ran over someone's nose.

I think he got away lightly and should have been banned for a race or two.

 

I love this one tweeted by

Interesting pdf tweeted by the Sauber team

& this looks like it could be an interesting film.

 

Need one of them for the bus to keep an eye on things out back

 

40 grand (i think it was) and you can + all the sensors etc are extra

 

All those buttons and they still can't start the damn thing

 

Do you think it comes in a 17" version so there's enough leverage on these old bay steering boxes? If not, I guess i'm ooot

 

Anyone else heard the rumour out of Maranello that Stefano Domenicali has resigned as team principal?
What would Enzo have said?

 

my twitter feed says yes....... Marco Mattiacci is the replacement.
