I'm still amazed & quite happy Fernando survived that crash. They say his seat broke on impact. Reading that sent shudders down my back. I remember the terrible sight of Gilles Villeneuve coming out of his car seat & all. RIP Gilles

 

You don't see anything like that crash anymore. That day is what I will always remember Zolder for.

 

Me too & it's a sad memory.

 

Seems Alonso will be sitting out this weekend. Something on his chest x-rays wasn't quite right.

 

He's confirmed that it's a rib fracture.

Coming out of GP2 he is likely to have some real aggression. Hope he can temper that & not do a Pastor.

 

Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?
Mercedes/Mercedes
Ferrari/Ferrari

Still, good to see where Big Jeans put the Haas on the grid.....and Ricciardo's comments after qually were interesting - "Maybe I can just cruise around in 5th and pick up some pieces at the end...."

 

What a yawn, they need to go back to the old format soon (like China).

 

I'd rather see an individual format like Indycar. That way we can see the qualifying lap for every car. Balls to the wall.

 

Very action packed first couple of laps today! Hard to believe Haas is where they are in the Constructor's Race considering they have only had one car finish in both races (guess the same could be said for the red team as well)!

 

Yep, although the outcome was fairly predictable - a Mercedes won and a Ferrari finished on the podium - there was a lot of action thruout the race, and Haas has to be thrilled with their progress so far. They muffed the pitstop a bit, but that will come with practice......

 

Whilst we are happy that Nico won his fifth in row, after the first few exciting laps the race was Bahrain from there on out, if not for the fun of RG piloting the HAAS team to a stellar 5th place finish in only their second race it would have been a snoozer...

 

Simply great for Haas.

 

I thought it was a pretty good race. Another poor start for Lewis cost him the race. Lots of action & Bottas being the designated hitter added to the excitement & really doomed Lewis. Great racing toward the rear. Heck even Manor was mixing it up & making passes. Another good win for Nico, but don't worry folks he has all season to prove he is second best.
