Huge electronic lap boards are coming. Count on it.

This will benefit Kimi Raikkonen and hurt everybody else. Why not?

I was fairly impressed by the lack of idiocy in that race. Castroneves really shot himself in the foot with that mistake, but I can't say I blame him- just a little too much speed coming around the entry lane, trying to shave time off his pit stop. At least it wasn't a pit speed violation, that woul...

Very interesting race to watch unfold. A shame Pagenaud didn't have a shot at beating Dixon, that would have set the stage for an even more better final race.

So how does Power lose it this year? Does he finish second, or third? I want him to win, but I know he won't get it done.

I'm a little sad the Grand Shitshow of Baltimore is off the calendar.

Apparently they want to attract a younger crowd, university students in particular. Formula E seems to be looking to attract a younger crowd with stuff like the "Fanboost" feature, something I don't really see many other series try to do as seriously as Formula E is. Does anyone else thin...

Yeah. The best race of the year. Not because of this, but it certainly helped.

This is why we watch.

Some teams are testing Pirelli's new 18 inch tyres at this test. Here's a rendering DO NOT WANT. Thanks a bunch Michelin. Though I shudder at the thought, I'd like to actually see them on the Lotus before I dismiss the whole idea. It could be worse, they could be 20 inch tires, which Paul Hembrey s...

Great race. If I didn't have other commitments I would have been there.

Will, you need to stop doing dumb shite.

F1000X

Fudge. I hate them. Here in Australia there are too many. I lose count on how many there are. I don't care when there are things such as the Safety Car or a Red Flag but when the race is on? Come on. How about you guys? Do you have to put up with ad breaks after only several laps? To OneHD's credit...

Rosberg finally got his. Excellent.

Different topic here. Anyone expecting Raikkonen to leave Ferrari early this year? Because if his performances don't start improving -such as today which was lazy if anything- I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the team or even F1 altogether. He's not going anywhere. The money has been spent...

So which one of them is going to choke for the title this year? If it has to be only one of them, hopefully Will Power. Because let's be fair - Helio really does deserve a title. Though I'm still holding out hope that Simon Pagenaud can make back the ground he's lost the last 3 races. I think that'...

And the championship goes to Britney. What bathplug bullshit.

Felipe baby, what the bathplug were you thinking?

Well done Daniel.

And... WELL DONE MR. TALENT. GJ.

Perhaps he will stop crashing GT cars and build one to win with. Le Mans is calling.

The amazing thing is that the numbers coming off the bike telemetry are even higher. If I remember correctly, Autosport reported last year the Hondas were hitting 223mph.

What a pleasure it was to watch Vettel's typical 'high-downforce-because-i-won't-need-to-pass-anyone' setup thwart all his efforts to overtake Alonso. Even better to watch the new boy shame him in his own car. Heartbroken for Massa. Perhaps a bit too aggressive at the start, but it's great to see hi...

I do hope the Miami race looks like this.

But I wish them all the best, and I think it would be awesome if we would one day see Chevrolet engines in F1. (Have there ever been any?? I think not??) Maybe Chrysler could dust off the engines that McLaren didn't want from 1993. I wouldn't look to GM or Chrysler. I would look to Ford. They've be...

Well of course you won't. One of you is going to lose. Get the bathplug over it. Do your homework and win.

F1000X

Not that it would help much, but other sports have salary caps for athletes.

That said, the FIA has nobody to blame but themselves. God only knows how much the engine suppliers have spent on developing the new engines and energy recovery systems, and the teams have no choice but to foot the bill.

You're out of your mind if you think Mercedes would ever entertain that idea.

The team needs to do their part to make both drivers feel they are on equal terms. As long as they don't wreck each other, I think they can maintain an amicable relationship. I would hope they get along like Berger and Senna did. Even when they had it out on track, they could still share a laugh (of...

Really not a bad race. Aside from Power being a little too enthusiastic about stacking the field, a general lack of driver brain fade, hard racing, and no moronic officiating. A good start to the season.

You're a funny man Nico Rosberg.

The real race starts when they all switch to primes.

I don't know if it was the television I watched it on, but I found the sound of the engines extremely underwhelming. I'm going to the race tomorrow, so I hope it's better in person. As exciting as a wet race might be, I'm praying to HWNSNBM that it stays dry.
