    Not sure about that. I dont think they have many options if they want to win. Not that Honda are giving them a reliable or powerful PU. It really does seem you need to be a 'manufacturers' team to get the best out of the PU.

    If thats Palmers fault i'm starting a petition. It wasn't. But I guess Romain hasn't lost any of his crashing skills.

    Both Mercedes bolted off the line there, Bottas found a way through and has now made this race very interesting!

    Looks like Palmer weekend getting worse if it could get any worse.

    I really hope McLaren do run a Mercedes engine. Honda simply aren't capable of doing the job.

    Neither is Jolyon Palmer for that matter.

    Exactly my thoughts. Some drivers shooting themselves in the foot.

    You would have thought after Max loosing rear brakes last race they would investigate and put a fix in?

    Bottas looking to make up for his previous under-performances. Finally making his mark at Mercedes.

    Didn't expect Bottas to be strolling away from the Ferraris. I thought they'd have this pretty easily.
