they did say 2 years but they thought 2 years to fight up the front it looks like 2 years to be competitive with the middle teams now, its such a shame because the longer they take to be competitive the more chance honda will pull the pin and other engine manufacturers will be too scarred to give F1 a try, best thing for the sport right now is for honda to get up near the front to encourage others to join

I hope Jenson sticks with it another year. I like him. Got a chance to meet him in Austin last year and he's such a geniunely nice guy, not your typical arrogant racecar driver at all.

Kyvat massive crash during Q3 which ended the session early, Rosberg on pole.

Kimi disappointingly slow... again

Would't call him slow. He was consistently third fastest throughout quali, he just didnt nail his first lap and the red flag ruined any chance for redemption. Still looks good for the race.

Seems the only actual racing took place in the back of the pack. Boring race otherwise.

Watching kvyat and verstappen mix it up with the sauber and nando was quite interesting.

Speaking of Alonso his gp2 comment made me sad laugh.

Yeah, that made me laugh as well. Especially the scream/roar at the end of the comment.

After a string of good races this one was rather boring. Not much excitement outside of lap 1 other then the Torro Rosso and Saubers.

Not sure what happened to Rosberg it seems he just cant match Ham at all. In fact the only thing keeping him ahead of Vettel is the pace of the car, Seb clearly has him beat on drive and talent. What a difference from last year.

I'm hoping that Red Bull and Toro Rosso work a deal for Ferrari engines for next year, whether or not not the VW/Audi deal works out. Picture Verstappen with as much power as Vettel and Raikonnen. This kid is something special.

Good race for the midfield...boring in the front


Anyone catch the MotoGP race in Aragon? Now THAT is some raw racing! That P2/P3 scrap between Pedrosa and Rossi was amazing

The red flag equally ruined everyone else's chance to improve their times as well.

The point is that all season long, Kimi has failed to be fast when it actually mattered.
