Thought the McLarens did a pretty good job today - 12 and 14, only a few 10ths off Q1.
Yes but this is McLaren. Multiple WCC winners McLaren. We shouldn't be having to say that 12 and 14 was a "good job, considering". Same goes for Williams - there was a time when if you weren't in a Williams then it was barely worth turning up. Yes, I know that fortunes wax and wane, and that is true even of Ferrari, but even so it is a sad state of affairs.
I'm surprised that Ron Dennis has not "facilitated an expedient exit on life via a self-inflicted personal injury from an edged weapon".

He is particularly bad at ending his interviews/chats. I often wonder if his critics think they could do better than him in what he does.

What a totally crap circuit why did they not try and put some character into the circuit, dull and tepid just like Valencia was.
I almost fell asleep during Q2 (I can't normally sleep during the day so that shows how dull this was).
I hope the BTCC touring cars are on tomorrow as this is going to be a dull race to watch.

You sound easily pleased.
Although I agree with you on 'Blown2CV'.
I am easily pleased. I like my commentators to be knowledgable and passionate; I can tune out their delivery, which can be a bit marmite. Ted has some great stories that would probably change some views, but they probably aren't suitable for broadcast. James is also great guy. I think sometimes they are having to broadcast in a way that clashes with their natural style and so we see something that we don't like, which I understand.Although I agree with you on 'Blown2CV'.
On your second point, my only comment is that PH is a generally better place with generally constructive discussion rather than argument - and I don't understand the anger that consistently comes from some posters.

The Ferrari engine upgrade hasn't done much good has it? Still a long way behind Merc.
I get the feeling the Mercs haven't yet really run flat out, so are able to be turned up to cope with others' improvements.Clearly, Merc felt the need to respond to Ferrari's developments. If the FP runs are to go by, Ferrari have closed the gap by about half a second per lap on race pace from last year. The thing is, they were only the 3rd best car at this race last year. Williams were the 2nd best car in race trim.
I think at most Merc could have done a 35 dead today, and we know that Merc have a potent quali mode, so all is not lost tomorrow. Bottas just needs to get his Bahrain start. Maybe Paddy/Toto can allow Williams to use their quali mode to help the bad luck they've brought up on Hamilton.
k me - that's another competitive season over for the other teams.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
