Are you sure you watched qualifying the race? In the middle sector of the circuit, which is all aero and low speed mechanical grip, the RedBull was 1/2 second faster or more than a Mercedes every lap with equal tires and the RedBull could match their speed down the straight. This is going to be a very competitive year. "if", "When", "Could", "Would", "will", "Going to" all things promising a better year. I heard these promises before, about Red Bull, about Ferrari. When Red Bull is ahead by 150 points in the championship, I'll believe you. As of right now, nothing has changed and Mercedes has both championships in the bag. Call me when anything you just said matters. I do not care what you believe or don't believe. RedBull has the slightly faster car, it's a fact. The battle between RedBull/Max and Mercedes/Hamilton will go down to the wire this season. |

What sucks when the stewards toss a coin to figure out when they're gonna enforce them or not.  |

Track limits delay or damage the car - all else are painted lines. The TRACK enforces its limits, not stewards rulings. So? Put a wall right where the white line is. You hit the wall, you're out of the race. Problem solved. I have had enough of this ridiculous argument. When I'm driving down the highway, I can't drive on the median, or shoulder. They're out of bounds. They can damage your vehicle if you try! Self enforcing. Curbs need to be CURBS, that you can't drive over without consequence. The so called FIA curbs are a invitation to 'go off course' as they are outside the designed track, the fact that such curbs exist and are used by drivers to improve lap times is prima facia evidence that off course driving is permitted. |

The battle between RedBull/Max and Mercedes/Hamilton will go down to the wire this season. Max did have the faster car this weekend. Over one lap, low fuel in qualifying on new rubber. A scenario ya never see in a race. Over 56 laps today Sir Lulu was faster. At the end Maxies rubber was what, 10 laps newer. And he couldn't pass the merc legally. Today the ded cows got out foxed on the pit strategy and sir lulu out drove max on the road. Then there's the honda problems. They've already started. It will be closer this year. My take is after one race anyways is that anybody who bets against sir lulu driving the merc is taking a fools bet. |

And yet Max had to give the position back because going off gave him a "lasting advantage"  I suppose lulu taking 29 trips off track (that would have gotten his time deleted in qualifying) didn't give him any kind of lasting advantage, like saving his tires.  |

He caught and was even with Lewis with six laps to go. Even though Lewis had cut a corner 29 times and gained a ton of time on Max from it. What Honda problems are you talking about? There were no engine/PU related DNFs. I never said I was betting against Lewis/Mercedes. I am saying the WDC will come down to the wire this season. The one thing you have right is Lewis outdrove Max at the critical moments. That is why Lewis won, but Max had the faster car. |

Where's the crickets. Never gonna happen. What they could do but prolly won't is keep the curbs low and then plant real grass. There was one track they raced at last year, a old school track that had some of that. They go off track the car prolly won't get wrecked but racing over grass is not a faster way around the corner. |

That is why Lewis won, but Max had the faster car. didn't they change the battery or whatever on perez's car b'4 the race.? and on the black & white red bull team, whatever they're called. Also, the comment about betting against sir lulu was not directed at you. just a statement. :-) Finally there's more to winning a race than having the fastest car. That's been problem for quick cars since 1950. After 56 laps sir lulu was the fastest. :-) |

My take is after one race anyways is that anybody who bets against sir lulu driving the merc is taking a fools bet. I have to disagree with you. Max was faster except when Merc short pitted and was on newer tires. Strategy is what won the race for Louie today. I also wonder how much advantage going off the track 25+ times helped Louie? How much time did he gain going out there? Stewards should of put an end to it the when he first started doing it. |

I was highly entertained by the race. Max and Lewis had a straight up fight. I promise you that Max will not lose all of them. I hope this continues for a long time.

I was going to share the exact same thing. If you're Lewis Hamilton there are different rules for you than for everyone else in the field. |

New control electronics and a new energy store. Someone correct me on this, but don't they only get 2 or 3 of those for the year. There are what, 5 pieces or however many that combine to what the call the power unit. They don't call em motors anymore. :-) |
