Cool Todays Spanish F1

Was a good watch the qualifying and see Hammy did well to obtain pole but the way his starts have been as of late he could be in 5th spot at first corner, starts in just over an hour

awesome crash on 1st lap with both mercs now out, hamilton let rosberg go past giving him safe width to take lead but when hamilton tried to take rosberg, nico then went out of position off the racing lane to force hamilton onto grass = both mercs out have to lay that blame with ze german

Great race! Well done to Max, it was Kimi he kept at bay to win the race. Surprising the 2 stop was quicker to be honest! Apparently Ricciardo isn't happy he got changed to the 3 stop during the race

Well done to Max for a great win. I have to say I reckon Hamilton is in the wrong this time, the way I see it is the German is in the lead, so its up to Hamilton to get around him, and Rosberg can use as much of the track as he wants to stop him, but that's just my opinion.

A fantastic race by Max! Especially it being his first race in the Red Bull. The first Dutchman to win a Formula 1 race ever. I'm looking forward to the next race!

brilliant race, its funny watching/listening to people comment on rosberg moving over defending his line, most of them being blinkered hamilton fans. they forgot he made the same style of swerve across the track to defend his postion 10 seconds before it, difference was rosberg saw it and reacted, shame hamilton couldnt do the same.

Not at all , you clearly see Rosberg moving over to the right while adjusting settings, and along came angry Hamilton to take them both out , just because he did another lame start and got his arse handed to him.


It states the you must have a % of the car along side to make a clean pass, not half the car on the grass !!!!


You also heard Hamilton saying on Saturday that he doesn't actually love formula 1 . Haul your arse out the seat go play with the girls and let some one who does love it take over .

Agree with Harris - when Lauda actually blames Hamilton for something, you know he fucked up

As Martin Brundel said when you have 2 winning cars and 2 top drivers this is going to happen from time to time and with 2 vacant positions on the podium available it made the race much more interesting ...

That's racing. Sometimes crashes happen. They both had a bit of responsibility really. It was a racing incident, shit happens, move on. I never thought Rosberg had it in him to win a championship, but he might prove me wrong this year. That's through bad luck for Hamilton as much as anything but you have to be in it to win it, to finish first, first you have to finish blah blah blah.

Well done to young Max though. God only knows what Red Bull were doing with strategy but the lad still had to hold on and keep it on the road under pressure. He has bags of talent and could do really great things in the future. Monaco is going to be interesting!
