    Languish in obscurity...at least that’s what I suspect Smiley will be doing at Renault. Sad thing too as I like the guy.

    If the season goes like this free practice session, this could be the most interesting season in decades, other than the Merc at the top so far the field is jumbo up on down. That Haas machine look so much like the old John Player Special on the track today, to bad they need to replace Grojean.

    I suspect that Le Clerc had the pace to get past his team mate and would have liked to see what Le Clerc had without the team orders in place.

    Yeah, it looks like LeClerc is the real deal. The way he recovered to the lead after falling to 3rd at the start was impressive. Fast, but without the over aggressive shenanigans that Verstappen pulled in his first couple years. I might have to start pulling for Ferrari (just not Vettel).
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Well the Merc's run off another 1/2, but I would like to take a look at the rest of the field. Outside of the top 3 teams Haas was suppose to be the best of the rest, and by their qualifying positions that should be the case. I only see an issue with the drivers, Gro should have been let go after last years efforts. Mag is starting to catch whatever is ailing Gro. The story over at Force India is what is wrong with sports at any and all levels. Ocon lost his seat over money. Stroll is showing that his daddies money can't make you competitive. He has failed to get out of Q1 in two years with two different teams, and Force India was in the hunt each race last year scoring points (top 10 finishes). Max V, the darling of the last two years under the shadow of Riccado, is glowing in the spot light and it may be to bright for him. Being the number 1 man has made him less aggressive, knowing that if he doesn't finish well the team has no teammate driver in the hunt.

    My Surprise team so far is the raise of McLaren. This new guy Nord is putting the rest of the best on notice. Its good to see Kimi and Riccado making their teams respectable and I figured as much, it just goes to show that a good driver can make an average car better.

    ESPN screwed the pooch today, by not extending the qualifying time that was delayed due to an accident. I'm watching the replay and it stops at the end of Q2. SMH. If it was any other sport that needed more time to finish they would adjust their scheduled programing.

    No comments on the Spanish GrandPrix? another 1-2 for the Mercs, but the same thing happen when Red Bull was on that same roll for 4-5 years. I only wonder how long Haas will put up with Grosjean lack of performance. I know they are waiting on an American driver to go with this American team, but in F1 finishing points equal money for the team. Haas should be on the heels of Red Bull for constructor points, based on qualifying, but when your not getting those points for finishing in the top 10 it only hurts the team over all.

    Again Stoll shows us who he is, he needs to go down to F2 and get some more time under his belt and stop wasting daddies money or is dad pushing to hard.

    It sucks that F1 has become a predictable formula.

    Win the start and pit stop strategy, win the race.

    As a Hammy fan and a Bottas fan, it is nice but uninspiring.
    As a Ferrari/LeClerc fan, it is good to see the kid up near the pointy end and regularly going toe to toe with Seb since I loathe the **** (Really... K R A U T is censored? LOL) bastage!

    While on the one hand, I totally get Hammy panicking at the thought of the tires going away from him...being that they would only get worse and worse. But on the other hand, he was acting very un-Champ-like.

    He had the lead at Monaco. A notoriously difficult place to pass even under the most ideal conditions.
    But I also understand the mentality of wanting to win in a place like Monaco. Especially this season. Monaco is usually an "anybody can win it" place so not giving those points away to somebody else to allow Bottas to close the gap or even worse, Le Clerc or Verstappen was alos heavily on his mind.

    That's a tough call. He knew Hamilton was there and could have taken a tighter line to give him room.

    However, it almost looks like a quick front tire twitch from Vettel while he was driving towards the wall.....so was he still clawing for traction or was that for show?

    I think he could have taken a slightly tighter line and let Hamilton by.

    I would like to see Hamilton win it outright regardless of the penalty. Hopefully he can do that to dismiss any victory from a penalty.
