Thanks Alonso for the entertainment but this looks like another year of RBR making things boring. I really hope the field can close the gap.

@mclaincausey 10 laps in and max is 7s ahead. going to be boring all season.

By the person who wants to shake Putin's hand....

Oh, good point. A backing from short-fugly spice could tarnish platinum, let alone grumpy

[louisbosco]

the most favourite clip I've seen so far..

"change your fucking car" and "time to go porpoising" are going to be my catch phrase all year

you could almost hear their voice in your head when you read it.

And just like that, I’m burning my Haas shirt. Ordered an A-M polo. Let’s go El Plan!!!

Nice work from Checo today! I try not to post negative stuff online, literally who should care an iota if I vent about something really..? But....

..Max... Maturity? No. Humility? No. Team spirit? No. Fairplay? No. Decency? Guess!

I also find myself warming to Nico Rosberg on Sky, despite his fetish for beige clothing. He can wear 345 shades of beige in one outfit

I’ll go negative for ya: terribly boring today and the stewardship was obviously horrific. Really hope they do better or I’ll have to bail on F1.

I've spent the last 40 years or so, doing whatever I could to ensure I watched a Grand Prix live on TV. If I could not watch it live, I would do my utmost to make sure I did not hear the result, and then watch a recording (once upon a VHS time) or replay later in the day. It was the only TV programme, I have ever scheduled what I was doing around.

Now, I just cant be bothered to waste my time. If I happen to be doing nothing whilst it is on, I may switch the TV on, but frankly I'd rather be mowing the lawn, than watching the farcical charade it has become.

I'd still love Hamilton to win an 8th title, just because.

I actually recorded it... Actually let me fucking rewind a fucking bit... I actually pay extra each month for a digital TV subscription JUST to watch F1... I don't watch anything else, and I'm not even exaggerating...

So I recorded the GP... I actually got up at around 7am but didn't watch it til 10PM... Lo and behold: it had dragged out so much it went overtime and IT DIDN'T RECORD THE LAST 10 MINUTES... I had been avoiding the news all fucking DAY to make sure I didn't see the result by accident, now I had to revert to looking up the end bloody result of the bloody thing...

What a shit show... As they say in Australia: fuck me running!

Me too.....

[goosehd]

I don’t have any tv services and only watch the clips/ read the news via the internet. Learned everything I needed to know about the race in 5 minutes.

I didn’t miss anything…

[mclaincausey]

I enjoyed the race but it was an odd one

[louisbosco]

I turned on the telly just at the moment the second red flag came out. have to say that was a weird call.

[Seul]

Russell getting the fastest lap being the most excitable moment of the race doesn't exactly qualify it as an exhilerating bit of motorsport...

(Alonso overtaking Sainz though...)

[A Former User]

And Ocon his pitsstop was amazing as well

Obligatory spread pic:

Checo on pole in Miami after a Leclerc crash stops the final laps. Karen Horner looks like he is being sick in his mouth trying to praise Checo.. it is so obvious he wants Max to win they should just run one car maybe Karen (Grumpy Spice) can make Checo do Max's laundry or something..

[mclaincausey]

I like this starting grid. Spicy weekend!
