Brundle is shite at commentating

The way he talks you think he had won 3 world championships when he raced - he thinks he is a driving God

People do look to Brundle like he's a former successful driver, he's the modern equivalent of Romain Grosjean in terms of success.

Haas are hanging around at the lower end of the table this weekend, wonder how much of the last 2 results were just luck more than real performance?

Good race from 2nd downwards

Rosberg so dominate, great season for him so far - he looks more comfy able and happy in himself than Hamilton

That was a gifted win today, he was cruising that one. Didn't have to work for it.

Some good things through the midfield though.

I think vettel had forgotten that it was Kvyat that caused the first corner bump when they got in the cool down room to start with, then suddenly clicked and had him about it

The guy is a class A prick. He done the same thing last race.

Getting sick of it now. He's watching the same footage as us, yet somehow doesn't realise that the 'red bull' is glossy and 'vettel' doesn't have a red helmet.

Interesting around the mercs performance - I think in traffic they rlly struggle with that front wing

Red bull looked good in the slow corners again - back to old form

If the mercs have clear air they are easily 1.5 secs quicker but in traffic if they haven't got the straight line advantage they struggle a little

So are we all pretty much in agreement that Kyvat was perfectly entitled to that move? There was a gap, which he exploited, without coming into contact with any other car. Great move in my books.

I don't understand Vettel's viewpoint at all. He acts like other cars should move aside and let him race on an open track.

Agreed - Kvyat had space so went for it. Vettel had already turned in, as had Raikkonen. Vettel then moved back out to avoid contact, and Raikkonen didn't.

If they had better rearwards/side vision then perhaps both Ferrari's would have given more space, although they'd have done better to simply shut the door early on.

Looks like Seb is in agreement with that now too:

Glad he's softened his stance.

It seemed he'd mellowed once he got to the media pen post race anyway.

2017 Car Changes:

The key aspects are:

- wider cars, with track - the distance between the outside edges of the tyres - increasing from 1,800mm to 2,000mm, the same dimensions as cars until 1997, and wider bodywork
- a wider front wing and lower, wider rear wing
- a greater proportion of total downforce created by the underfloor
- wider tyres to increase mechanical grip

I dunno, maybe? The story was only from this morning that I read these facts mind you, there might be some other insider information going on in here.

Those changes have been well publicised for a good while now. I posted about it on page 2, 2 months ago.

One would suggest you are a casual fan.

Would I be correct in suggesting the rules for 2017 have to be firmed up before April 30th?

Also, I believe a small number of teams will be assisting Pirelli with new 2017 tyre development; further advantage to the top teams

As much as I'd love to be intravenously piped into the international F1 news and Corsasport F1 thread 24hrs a day, it's not too difficult to miss things

Lewis not taking part in Q3.... Power unit suffered the same failure as in China.

Conspiracy much?

Tbh it's becoming a joke now. Mercedes swap the head mechanic's and suddenly Lewis is having issue's. Can they make it any more obvious?
