[Leyton388]

The new tracks being built are ****e.

[RichC]

Just having a look at who powers who and after Alonso said it's likely to not be a Merc engine there is literally nobody else but McLaren he could realistically go to

Who's powering who in 2015?

Mercedes: Mercedes, Williams, Force India, Lotus.

Renault: Red Bull, Toro Rosso, Caterham.

Ferrari: Ferrari, Sauber, Marussia.

Honda: McLaren.

Yup they can't really win, its a shame refuelling was taken away again (probably rightly) as that offered an extra dynamic with the race strategies.

I do think in the Russian GP the tyre choice was wrong but the first time there and after the Bianchi crash it's no real surprise they were cautious

I feel sorry for **** pirrelli get over their tyres.

They were asked to produce tyres that wouldn't last and so spice up the race.

[RichC]

Yup, you wonder if there will be a twist in this title race after that little turn of luck for him.

From a viewing point though on those tyres he was the only one that made the GP vaguely interesting

Rosberg was SO lucky that there was no deg. Another stop would have dropped him down a few places

[RichC]

Yup the tyres just didn't have any deg at all yesterday which was really needed to turn it into something other than a procession, I mean Lewis literally just clocked up the laps without really having to do anything to keep the lead.

Don't know. Drivers spoke about only one overtaking spot on Friday which is never a good thing to hear. Then you had the tyres not degrading so there was hardly any stops to change them. After all the talk of tyres over the last few years yesterday was a reminder of exactly what can happen when drivers don't need to think about them. Artificial as it is, it injects some uncertainty to proceedings which is much needed when the cars are pretty bullet proof.
