    To be fair, he was kinda chucked in the deep end. So he's doing alright.

    Think Grosjean may have a smile to compete with Ricciardo by the end of this.

    Wouldn't you expect the Force Indias and Renaults to be in the points too? He's doing a great job.

    Raikkonen's pace has been great. Hard to know how much Rosberg's pushing but he's got Hamilton well in hand. Gutted about his start and Vettel's engine. They're getting closer, if the FIA had allowed a full pre-season we'd probably have a fight on our hands.

    Didn't both the Force India's lose their front wing? And i would expect the McLaren to beat the Renault.

    He is doing well though, albeit it's still annoying that he doesn't have a benchmark.

    That's kinda my point. He's doing alright.

    I just think it grossly unfair the steer that Sky are going for here- basically undermining Alonso and Button whilst they are handicapped by that turd of an engine and trying to say that Vandoornes performance is in some way better than theirs.

    It's a solid start, and nothing else.

    Rosbergs stops have been very clumsy while Hamilton's have been pinch perfect. Well done team

    I get your point... I'm not seeing how much they're over-egging it here in Americanshire land.

    And by the way, I think Force India and Willims cars are probably the biggest under performers of the whole field. Their cars look like stagnated, rigid, and are lucky they are being dragged along by a customer Merc engine.

    Ferraris inability to run two cars lately is a real problem for their WCC hopes.

    Hamilton is falling off. He's 15secs behind Raikkonen now

    Force India passed by a Manor now! They really have not moved forward. Two good drivers as well in their car. Another two talents struggling!

    Wehrlein is pretty bloody impressive, that's for sure.
