For the first time ever I'm switching over to the football (Leicester), I don't even follow a team.

Christ. I'd rather watch a blank screen than turn over to football.

Obviously the Mercedes management team got a bit worried that despite surreptitiously knobling Lewis's car yesterday he was in danger of catching Rosberg so they had to resort to Plan C and activate the remote radiator drain cock tap on Car No 44.

It sounded like team orders to me... maybe some of the above will be true too

Just switched it off. The Mercs look further ahead this year than in 2014! I think Hamiltons one hope is that when Rosberg gets some bad luck he'll have been so used to being way out in front he may have forgotten how to defend.

Well done Rosberg. Pole, win, fastest lap with a new lap record.

Just lucky I guess?

You do realise that Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team is based in the UK, with loads of British engineers, the Executive Director is British, as is the Technology Director?

yep, a proper masterclass in how its done. Great result for Fred and JB, and Grosjean. Jolyon looks out of his depth.

[EnglishTony]

Well, I enjoyed the bits I managed to see between the ads.

As for mysterious water leaks I reckon that was code for "if you don't slow down you won't have enough fuel to finish the race"
