    I wonder if it will be state sponsored, or "not" state sponsored. Also, works team or "works" team.

    Sorry, China rips off a lot of people's intellectual property, and has no shame when blatantly copying something that someone else has done,* so I've got a pretty cynical outlook on this.


    *[This likely goes back to England stealing prime tea plants and seeds through industrial espionage and sending them to India in order to knock the bottom out of the Chinese Tea monopolies of the 1800's** thereby causing centuries of distrust of China of foreigners, but I digress]

    **[China would only accept silver as payment for tea, and after a time England had no silver left, so they started exporting Indian Opium to China, and selling it for silver in order to get some of it back. England was the largest drug dealer of all time, addicting tens of millions of Chinese to Opium. Raising their own tea in India was the only way to become financially solvent, as Opium eventually had to be smuggled into China, and a few wars had broken out. Safer all around to just grow tea themselves then stay involved in all that.]

    Who's car will they copy Ferrari, Merc, or Red Bull?
    Who would supply them an engine knowing that they will copy everything?

    Other than the occasional trip down the escape road or bump on the wall, I think this race will be much of the same ol same ol......Hamilton will get .5 sec lead on the first lap and not look back, the rest of the field will be a fight for points.

    Sure impressed with both Force Indias this year....maybe Alonso should go there?

    There's no way I could have possibly guessed that podium.

    That finish wasn't expected.
    Lance Stroll isn't legally old enough to drink (alcohol) yet.

    Me thinks Vettel needs to check his temper a bit.
