I think its already been decided

 

So are they going with 2016 Merc engines?

 

Would be for next season with their 2018 spec power unit

 

Awesome for Kobayashi!

 

Ex-F1 Japanese racers are killing it this year!

Theres talk of possibly Porsche joining F1... interesting.

 

Porsche is sitting in on the constructors talks on the next gen F1 power units

 

Has Porsche ever been in F1 before?

 

Not since 91 with a dual V-6

Just watched PP2. Red Bull fastest in PP1 and 2! Then Max stuffed it bad after the closing bell and probably is going to get grid spot penalty. Hamilton is a full second in arrears, again on a track with a fair amount of low speed stuff like Monaco. The top 10 is a very colorful list! Stroll is looking good! Could be quite a weekend.

Kaltenborn is out at Sauber amid reports of preferential treatment of Ericsson being demanded by the money folks. And the silly season is starting early this year. Both Red Bull drivers, and of course Alonso, all being talked about.

 

interesting qualifying, red flag with 3:33 left!!

 

That was an insane race

 

Vettel lost his cool and that cost him.

 

Geez, Hamilton is such a turd.

 

Bizarre. This was the mayhem everyone was expecting last year. Bad luck turns good, good luck turns bad, many many poor decisions by many many drivers. Points for McLaren and Haas, w00t!

During the red flag period NBCSN showed Hamilton's telemetry through the turn and after. He braked into the turn, stayed on the brakes in the turn, then went lightly to the throttle. No 'brake check'. He braked briefly after Vettel hit the back of his car, and again after Vettel did whatever you want to call that thing he did. I don't think I've ever seen a stupider move. He's lucky they didn't disqualify him.

 

I liked the race, especially when vettel rammed hamilton, twice. yeah i know, unsportsmanlike, but very fun to watch. and then vettel gets a penalty and still winds up ahead at the end of the race
