Absolute F1 show just gets worse and worse...(first time I am watching it in a long time). Why the frack are they showing Indy Car races and discussing it? It has ZERO to do with F1.
 
Kimi was caught sleeping at the start.

Lewis won by a big margin

After emphasizing on reliability during pre season testing Nico suffered an engine failure with 2 laps to go

Maybe Webber was telling the truth that Vettel has a performance clause in his contract.
 
Pastor Maldonado among drivers who don't deserve F1 seat - Mark Webber

Former F1 driver Mark Webber has criticised pay drivers such as Pastor Maldonado, arguing they should not be in the sport if they are not performing.

On Monday, Webber said the F1 grid no longer has the depth it once had, but has now gone a step further by singling out Maldonado as an example in an interview with Sky Sports. Maldonado brings financial backing from Venezuelan oil company PDVSA, but Webber thinks F1 should be about ability to drive rather than ability to pay.

I am not so sure.

The Finn finally got going in 20th and last, but conjured a recovery drive to take fifth come the chequered flag.

Explaining what unfolded, Raikkonen said: "It went into anti-stall when I let the first clutch go.

"As far I understand I did the correct thing, but we can see there's a problem with the second clutch.

"It was not in the correct place. I'm pretty sure I put it correct as always. I don't know.

"Whatever it was it triggered the anti-stall and after a few seconds I was in last place. I've not had anything like this before.

Renault will stop supplying engines to Formula 1 teams as soon as possible.
Carlos Ghosn, Renault's chairman and chief executive officer, also hinted the company's relationship with Red Bull is likely to end this year.
Ghosn said: "We have already alerted the F1 authorities and told them: 'Don't count on us as a provider of an engine - it's over.'"

Very interesting read on why the Mercedes engine produces more power than Ferrari and Renault

It would be more accurate to say that the combined power unit and Petronas fuel was more powerful – for fuel technology has proven to be the most potent development tool in the hybrid turbo-charged formula since its introduction last year. It's a similar story at Ferrari, where gains of 40bhp have been made during this season, just from the fuel alone......This resistance to detonation is believed to be the biggest single advantage enjoyed by Mercedes over the rival Ferrari and, particularly, Renault, which is believed to be poor in this regard. This advantage compounds in the hybrid era, for the more power that is produced, the more heat that is created for the ersH to recover, giving greater electrical power too. The necessity for the engine and fuel to be developed together in this formula was underlined last year when McLaren ran Mercedes engines as customers but was contracted to run Mobil fuel. Despite identical engines to the works cars, the McLarens were often as much as 40 horsepower down.t is within that backdrop that Shell and Ferrari have just jointly announced a new five-year technical partnership. Closer collaboration than ever between fuel/lubricants and engines is necessary within the hybrid formula and a full team of Shell technicians work full time within the Maranello engine department....
