    Merc in their own league. Destroying Ferrari today.

    Paint drying will provide the same entertainment from here.


    EDIT: Danny Ricc proving why he might be a future world champion there, what a move!

    Surprised with Ferrari. Was Belgium a fluke or is this a random poor race?

    Belgium is less of a pure speed track than Monza IMO- i think perhaps Eau Rouge distorts our opinions to thinking they are equally fast!

    Singapore might flip it on its head the other way.

    Wonder what the reaction would be if Hamilton was doing as much moaning as Alonso..................

    To be fair, one is in the most dominant team since the 2000s Ferrari, and one is trundling around in an underpowered McLaren powerless to fight people that he's better than.

    I'd say Alonso is justified to have a whinge.


    Interestingly, only Red Bull have looked anywhere near competitive with a Renault engine this weekend.

    Why the **** would McLaren want to have a customer Renault?

    He is whinging about anyone and anything!

    If he dislikes it that much then he should stop.

    His beef with Palmer this race is ridiculous and is seriously obsessed with it! The guy got a penalty, but he just can't let it go!

    Because , as I have said before , they ( MCL ) seem determined to do ANYTHING to keep Alonso , BIG mistake IMHO .

    It would be a huge mistake from them.

    Autosport reporting that it only happens if Toro Rosso take a Honda in 2018. Whether it's a temporary split who knows.

    Quite a few but it was the exciting bit of the race. Always a fine line between hard racing and playing dodgems.

    Williams did well today considering their recent form.

    Sounding very much like McHonda will become McRenault! So in a couple of seasons it might be RedBull Honda!! Interesting considering how much input RedBull have tried to put on Renault. Dont thing Honda will take orders that much!

    F1 is overrated. If it ain't happened by the first corner, then invariably it doesn't happen.
    They could cut costs even further by just having a timed race down the pit lane with a tyre change!!
