    He'll be waiting well past 2017 for Ferrari to become a consistent winning team again.

    Hopefully on the same day that Ferrari realize their decade long balls-up and give Ross Brawn the gaffers job. :)

    Actually I'd really love to see Hamilton make the move to the Scuderia and partner Vettel. That would be my dream combo right now. If they can sort that cluster of a team out. They couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery.

    I can now see how and why Lewis out - qualified Alonso as a rookie and hit Jenson 17-3 in 2012. The guy when focused is the fastest the sport has ever had. The W07 in the hands of Lewis is the " PERFECT STORM " . The fastest driver in the fastest car.

    It was nice to see Mika Hakkinen calling Lewis's drive stunning and that he was surprised that Nico could not explain his deficit to Lewis. Mika needs to realize that EPICNESS is usually hard to explain away.

    Go Lewis the OG , along with Fangio and Senna.

    Lewis and others having a bad start, should make things a little more interesting. Lewis on Riccy just shows how much extra power the Merc Pu has!!!!!

    They need more fuel with a minimum requirement at start and a max of say 120kg. Maybe some sort of balance between more electrical power or more fuel?
    The tyres need to be more durable but still have limited number of laps. It shouldn't be so easy to destroy the tyres just by trying to race.

    Any chance Vettel can catch Nico... probably not.

    What kind of strategy is this from Ferrari. Did they really think that they could outrace them?

    Ferrari are racing for 3rd, they know they have no chance of the Mercedes.

    So far this has been one of the most disappointing races of the season.
