    30 years to the day since Ayrton Senna died. <rose>

    Roland Ratzenberger should also be remembered - his death was completely overshadowed by what happened the day after. <rose>

    Interesting piece on Sid Watkins the doctor behind all the safety changes in F1 in that era, and the one who tried to save both Ratzenberger and Senna.

    Sid was great. You should read his book.

    Good stuff from CLC and Ricciardo in spring qualifying. Weird how the McLaren performance dropped on softs. Horror show from Merc again.

    So pleased for Lando! His pace was incredible and those upgrades really worked a treat (Mercedes, are you taking note?). Would be great if they can continue this form and challenge Red Bull.

    The SC obviously helped coming when it did but Lando was the quickest driver all day. Thoroughly deserved win and so happy for him.

    He was brilliant. Been very quick all weekend too. Felt sorry for Oscar, he could have had a great result too if Sainz hadn't gone mad.

    Chuffed for Lando, I really am. Hopefully they can take the fight now to RBR along with Ferrari.

    I see Magnussen is one incident away from a race ban, having picked up 5 penalty points over the weekend. Drove like a lunatic in both the sprint and the race.

    World number 1 Scottie Scheffler has been arrested by police as he was trying to enter Valhalla golf club for the 2nd round of the US PGA Championship!

    And it should have been unanimous. He was well beaten last night. Great fight though.
