Mercedes should really run away this weekend, even in Qualifying.
If sea bass can make this season a fight with this dog Renault engine then he will be TGE. Newey too

Well... My Mercedes qualifying prediction has come true.

I bet a merc wins by 1min over the next car that's not a merc.

This is probably the perfect conditions for a car with good aero but best at getting tires hot.

Others are failing to get the heat right it seems.

Okay... Maldonado needs to be banned from racing. This is just getting WAY out of hand.

Bernie claiming to care about the fans is an utter joke, nothing about formula 1 is done for the spectators. Engine sounds are the least of their problems imo.

That was such a good race.
Did not enjoy another team running off with it. I did like the battle between the two!
Loved seein Williams and Force India doing so well.
Great battles between Ferrari, RBR, and McLaren.
I loved how RBR told Vettle to let Ricciardo pass! too good.
Lastly I just hope some one else steps up and challenges Merc.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER SEASON BEING DOMINATED BY ONE DAMN TEAM (The only thing I'm thankful in this case is that its not Vettle)

It's still early, but Mercedes probably will dominate this year. Next year may be a different story when 95% of the engine is unfrozen for changes. At least this year it's not just one person dominating. We may see Hamilton and Rosberg fighting until the very end. That should be good.

LOL @ Luca leaving the circuit after hearing Alonso say the car does not have the power he needs. Some people at Maranello had a fun time hearing Luca screaming in their ear.
