    I think you mean Mercedes ;)

    I wishMcLaren were out in front, but alas not so far. Still, there have been plenty of seasons in the past where one team has dominated like this. New rules or no, it's like Williams in 92's, Ferrari with Shumi, or the nearly unstoppable McLaren / Honda years.

    Same as it ever was.

    I'm loving this season so far.

    I think Nico needs to start racing a couple of laps earlier. The team gave him a real shot by adding several seconds to Lewis' stops.

    I say unless they start wrecking each other, who cares if they don't talk or get along. I think that this is the type of intensity that Ferrari was hoping for when they brought Kimi on-board.

    With that said, it would be interesting to see what would happen if one of the other teams was actually challenging for the lead. Would either Nico or Lewis help the other by slowing down the challenger or would they continue to race each other?

    Time will tell.

    I'm looking forward to the next installment of the Nico & Hammy show.

    I read that Nikki Lauda came down pretty hard on Lewis for his behavior at Monaco. Which is fine with me, Lewis needs a bit more maturity and if getting yelled at by one of the greats is what gets it done, then more more yelling, I says.

    Most excellent race. So happy to see Ricciardo win, he is the real deal!

    Man Vettel was lucky not to have been swept off the track by Massa. I feel pretty sorry for Perez.

    That was very much worth watching. Although I did feel a bit deflated at the crash, I really wanted both of those two to finish well, just to stick their thumbs in the eyes of the teams that dropped them last year.

    Found it very weird to be seeing a fuel usage chart instead of a lap time chart during the Canadian Grand Prix posted on the TV screen.... Not really what I want to see during a race......I mean..."wow my drivers in 12th place but he is getting the best fuel usage...." Formula E or Formula 1?[emoji57]

    When RB got the team from Ford it was mid pack at best. They brought it up to 4 championships. Yah, it will get there again. Maybe not this year.

    This season is in the bucket. No saving it at this point. Move forward & make things better for next season. Knowing how things work we'll see 3 cylinder engines next. :crazy:

    That is great. We can only hope he goes to jail soon.

    One report I've read says that Kimi was still in his car when he asked his team "Is Felipe OK?" on the radio.

    It seems amazing that Kimi even knew he and Massa hit each other, but then it seems equally amazing that Massa just about missed him.

    I guess no-one wants to repeat the damage done to Massa at Hungaroring in 2008.
