Another car that wont start Reliability is awful despite the horrific amounts of money spent, its a joke.

Go watch some 80s F1 and then see how much of a "joke" it is these days...

Go Kimi go! Nice pass.

[johnfm]

Kimi! Great start.

Unlike the 80s teams are spending millions, have hundreds of members of staff, analyse everything to to the tiniest detail, you'd expect to be able to get a full grid of cars to start a race, 4 weekends in and we have not had that yet.

t was all a bit tight. Well done to the drivers for getting through that lot.

[VolvoT5]

Will be interesting to see how Rosberg deals with this and how close tthe cars can follow. They are already out of the DRS zones at the front.

Live timing is on the BBC website, folks.

I'm sure it was Lewis's fault that Kimi got past Nick.

So Honda, Porsche(tag), Ferrari and the like only used loose change and 5 blokes back then?

People moan f1 is too endurance based and then moan when the cars aren't reliable! Can't win!

[Derek Smith]

Looking at that start, it seemed to me that he slowed to close everyone up on the corner. Maybe to compromise NR.

Poor there from LH. He needs to keep those tyres healthy.

Fuel conservation?

no argument, my point is bad as they are today, they will be better tomorrow.

same cannot be said for murrisia

How do you know that? Torro Rosso used to be minardi, red bull used to be jaguar, you never know what will happen in the future, I agree with you its a massive uphill struggle but they deserve their place in f1

He practically forced Kimi off the road there..... right on the limit of acceptability.

I can't think where else a F1 driver should be.

[Derek Smith]

LH only increased lap times by 0.4. So perhaps not able to ?

[VolvoT5]

All this hype around Ferrari looks optimistic doesn't it....... Mercs have the pace easily.

And +0.16 for that lap

[toerag]

Now just back them up Lewis
