Oh absolutely. I take nothing away from his spectacular driving today. He held off Kimi for 30 laps. To say strategy didn't help him win, however, would be a fallacy.

I feel like they won’t do that because with so many drivers out of contract at the end of this season, he can easily jump ship. Now, if they want someone to be a doormat to Max, that’s great because as good as I think Sainz is, if the car is designed around Max, it’s a wash for him. If they don’t want Ricciardo to…

Well I hope it’s not a conspiracy at RBR because it would really rob everyone of some fantastic racing. I at least give Merc credit for letting their drivers race but RBR has a history of picking a clear #1. It seems that the commentators also thought that 3 stops was the preferable strategy but I’m not sure that the…

Especially since despite his epic drive, I firmly believe Ricciardo would’ve taken the victory given the same strategy.

He had a good race. Claimed fastest lap by a few tenths if I’m not mistaken. Outclassed by Sainz, though. If Ricciardo was to leave RBR for whatever reason, Sainz is certainly another excellent driver. Shame he paired so poorly with Max.

I live in America... the race started at around 8:05 AM EST, which is only the crack of dawn if you live on the west coast. This is a racing blog, which posts racing news. Would you bitch to Autosport about their headline which also spoils the race result?

Superb analysis and as per the other article posted on here about the crash, evidently, that mistake with the switch left Rosberg down 180 hp on Hamilton. That’s incredible that he could forget something like that. I presume that’s what happened at least.

The spoiler is the damn headline. This is history being made. I DVR’d the GP because I had work and I simply stayed off any automotive news sites.

I doubt that will happen. I take nothing away from Verstappen but Ricciardo had a stellar drive and has had a fantastic start to this season. Add that to the fact that he had a stellar 2014 season in which Vettel found himself outmatched as well as some very good drives last year and it’d be ridiculous to think that…

I was at work when that incident happened and thank goodness no one was around because I went off. That was an unreal accident. I can't see anyway that the blame isn't mostly with Lewis.

What a fucking race! Absolutely the best race I’ve watched in years. Seeing history made here. I think you could argue that RBR has the best driver line up in F1 right now. Ricciardo didn’t win the race but shit if both Red Bull drivers didn’t embarrass Ferrari today. Absolutely unreal. That RenauLt upgrade may put…

Despite Evans apparent dickheadedness, I’ve been excited for this since I saw the first trailer... I’m glad at least on this site, I don’t appear to be in the minority. Definitely excited to see Harris and Sabine on TV and I actually think LeBlanc is a chill guy.

Your comment fails to account for how Kimi cut back across the front left of Vettel from running wide to leave absolutely no room for Vettel to maneuver. Kimi should’ve been more mindful. There was no reason for him to cut back in, regardless of the speed Kvyat carried into the corner. Vettel left a huge gap, Kvyat…

The stewards and almost every analyst, including many former drivers.

Considering the incident in China was 0% his fault, there’s no reason for penalties for that. I actually did expect an exclusion from results after that second hit. Looked like it was purposeful. Upon closer examination, I think Vettel lifted or braked earlier than expected. Still no excuse. It was a farce of a first…

We’ve all seen that perspective as it was shown on TV multiple times during the race. If Kimi hadn’t run wide and come back, thereby cutting across the front left of Vettel’s car, he wouldn’t have made contact. The gap Vettel left was huge. I think basically every pundit is in agreement that Kvyat was 100% not at…

He got 2 penalty points on his superlicense in addition to the 10 second penalty.

Kvyat knows he’s driving for his life right now. That’s not an overstatement. This might have sealed his fate. Unless he pulls out multiple astonishing performances in the remaining races (which is entirely possible, I’m not saying it isn’t as Kvyat is a very skilled driver) then he’s going to be shown the door. Kvyat…

This is way better than how the halo looks but I have to agree with Lewis: if you’re going to go this route, why half ass it? Make it a full canopy like a fighter jet. I actually think that would look bad ass. Sure, the cockpit would be hot but the cars average well over 100 mph. I can’t believe an easy solution…

Well, at least then they’re all in the same car. Put the debate about who the best driver is to bed.
