Surprised Mclaren let Alonso do this.

He's driving for McLaren in the Indy 500. They're just trying to keep him sweet in the hopes he'll stay with them next year.

His engine is soooo gonna blow up on lap 2! ?

F1 should send more drivers to the 500. Monaco is a snoozefest anyway.

First practice and a McLaren has already broken down, the engine has gone of course

It rained for the MotoGp in Qatar.

Nice for Bottas to get pole today, although it was because of mistake on Hamiltons part. 

 

Ferrari looked way off from yesterday. 

 

Hopefully tomorrow row will be abit more exciting that the previous two races.

Tbf, he drove a better lap. If it had been the other way round nobody would be saying Hamilton only got pole because of Bottas' mistake.

I agree, it is what it is and it's the best way to do qualifying. A best lap from both drivers head to head would see Hamilton on pole though. 

 

Has this GP always been on as late as this year?

It's been a night race since 2014. McLaren have blown 3 engines so far this weekend.

Hoping Stroll can finish this one and maybe knick a point doing so.

Thought Lewis was going to walk it this year ...     Trouble is nobody told Vettel.  

 

Looks like it's going to be interesting !   

[The Horse's Mouth]

aint nobody winning the title this year but hamilton 

[wurmer]

McLaren are a total joke this season, I can't believe just how far downhill this team has gone in the last 4 or 5 years.

Not F1 related but there was a horrific crash in the British F4 race at Donington Park yesterday:

 

 

[isaidno]

Stroll is the new Maldonado. Can't get through a weekend without hitting something or someone.

[Nick]

Felt sorry for Bottas and Verstappen - glad it's more competitive this year.

you're being incredibly harsh if you consider the Sainz crash his fault. maldonado is light years ahead of him, he's more like nakajima. He's at least shown some pace, but whenever he avoids crashing he seems to completely destroy his tyres which means the strategy is out of the window.
