The speed of the RB is a joke.

I'm probably biased, but I'm convinced Shifty is the fastest driver in the paddock. RBs slowed he and Seb last year, but they made do. They look like they've lost ground this year. Need to change engine constructor fast.

McLaren is a joke ...

If you weren't a fan of F1 before today's race... you probably still aren't.

Get outta here. Just couse the Mercedes cars are so far ahed doesn't mean no one is not going to pick up the slack. Seb will be up there and Ferrari will keep getting better. i wouldn't be surprised if Seb replicates what Michael did with theitalian team. I am more worried with the route the RB's have been taking. That car went from being the fastest to considerable one of the slowest.

Yep. The RBs are terrible. Which is a pity, as Shifty seems to be one of the best drivers in the pack.

Man I really do hope Maldonado can finish at least one grand prix this season...

Vettel will resurrect Ferrari no questions asked. That win was Schummi'esque.

NBC commercials kill me. Verstappen and Nasr in the points is a beautiful sight.

Wow I cursed him.

In Barcelona, with the first upgrades, Seb will be head to head with Hamilton, I'm pretty sure about that.

Renault engine are awful! They just screw your day up every single race

Hope so. I hate Seb, but anyone challenging Mercedes would be a nice change.

Nice timings today for Raikkonen and Vettel, but Mercedes wasn't even really pushing. They didn't used the DRS.

Do you have an idea why?

They know about their supremacy in qualifications, so they were focused on race timings. Ferrari did more laps with soft tyres, with even better timings.

Thanks for the info. Man the night view in Bahrain hifty:

Formula One returns to Mexico this weekend after a 23-year hiatus. Checo Perez is looking forward to putting on a nice show in front of his home field fans. He's had better results this second half of the season having finished at the podium in Russia. That was his 5th podium finish in his career and the 3rd podium with Force India.

Esteban Gutierrez will drive for the Haas team next season. He was the 3rd driver for Ferrari this year.

I can't wait to see this upcoming race.

There's going to be a team near my house next year with Romain Grosjean as the driver.

I see, so it's going to be Grosjean and Gutierrez racing for the Haas team. Didn't know F1 had a racing team up in Greenland.

So the Grand Prix in Mexico City was quite the spectacle. They put on a real nice show. The whole organization of the race by far exceeded my expectations, the ambiance was incredible. I think next years race will attract even more attention with Perez and Gutierrez both out there.
