Thanks Gary
Seems like Hamilton is really Blitzing the field,nearly half a second ahead of Rosberg and nearly a second ahead of Ricciardo.
Flawless in both practice sessions.
Cheers

Irrespective of actual finishing positions so far this season there has been 4 drivers that imho have really shown themselves to be in a different class.
Fernando
Lewis
Ricciardo
and young Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso, If I were in Dietrich Mateschitz's shoes I'd be instructing the unlovable prima Donna to swap seats with him... just for a laugh.

I don't know what worse, this year or last. They've just switched Hami for Seb for the guy up front miles away and all the action is for 3rd to about 7th.

Its been fun watching the new cars but the romance is starting to fade and until it gets better I don't think I'll be watching it as much. The last couple of years were enough of the same old thing different race. Sorry for being a downer just call me Frank.

That's F1. Right through its history there has usually been one dominant car/driver combination in any given year. Same applies to most other formulae as well.

While i dont like some of the changes to the cars this season it seems to be making for better racing, from the viewers perspective that is.

I don't think the racing is better at all, all that is happening is the teams are shuffling around from their grid positions so that they come home in pairs if possible.

I have been a huge supporter of f1 always and would normally defend the dull accusations but this year they have finally killed it for me. 5 laps in and it's over.
I think the Superbikes are on so I can get my noise and racing fix from them or the Giro.
