    First time I've heard this "Crofty" bloke. What a tool.

    They showed Danny's on-board, and Brundle clearly pointed out that Danny had hit a bit of "service road". A lap later, Croft wondered whether Danny "might have hit a gutter or something".

    Tool.

    Hybrid era will probably go down as one of the worse eras in F1 history.

    season over. just record hamilton for race win in prediction polls for me every year.

    ferrari have an easy to drive but ****ing slow car.

    Mercedes have utterly destroyed them. there was no time in that race anywhere that ferrari were even close

    Now that's the Valtteri I was hoping to see. I'm glad I picked him in the predictions :bandit:

    the next thing is ferrari go full ferrari and have a crisis and start political infighting.

    they could end up 3rd.. clearly shouldn't but are capable of it.


    they were consistently falling away from Merc all race. no pace.

    max walked past vettel too.

    the issue is to change it requires a total aero package redesign.

    season over.

    Blimey... let's not get too pessimistic. Ferrari has to have something up their sleeve....

    Melbourne does throw up some funny performances so il reserve judgment for Ferrari for the next 3 races. I mean last year Hamilton would have been a comfortable winner and yet Ferrari were the faster car by the mid season.

    Bottas had a brilliant weekend so well done to him.
    Superb drive and even his quali lap pushed Hamilton all the way. Much more like it.

    And HONDA are back on the podium. A huge well done to them.
