This might be a good move. If they perform there why not in F1 Honda?

This is a good move. Alonso have something exciting to wait for and will stop complaining.

 Indy will get F1 champ to see, how good their drivers are compared to F1.

 

Honda get's a break from negative news.

 

I guess building the perfect engine requires both lots of work and some luck as well.

Monaco, which could the highest profession of the year. I'd miss that.

I think that Monaco is the spring break for F1 drivers. It's an spectacle as it is, but often quite boring race to watch.

 

It would be nice to see Button back.

 

[Guest]

Button confirmed for Monaco!

Auto type grr, meant biggest procession.
Bernie says he'd have stopped Alonso doing Indy 500, Bernie should remember he's out of the management.

Hey, hey, hey! Bottas got his first pole!!

He is a really good guy who does a lot of work to get results for himself and for the team.

 

Valtteri really beat himself after his mistake at Chinese GP. He also got over that mistake quite fast.

 

This was Valtteri's 3rd race on competitive car. Pretty well done.

 

I hope he'll be able to win the race tomorrow. This is to pop his cherry and get rid of the pressure for the future.

Should be a good race, and Toto does not mind who wins as long as the other is second.

 

And Veltteri is no rookie, Toto dug deep to get him, for now Hamilton is trying to stay friends with everyone.

Come on Hamilton !!

Excellent race [emoji469]

Good win from Seb !
Lewis was unlucky ☹️
Roll on Russia in two weeks !

[Mosha]

Sauber watching Alonso must be wondering if they've done the right thing.

This might be the most boring race, except us who wishes Bottas to get his virgin win. :)

Vettel putting the squeeze on !!

[Andrew Dwyer]

Well done Valtteri, good to have a new face on the top spot of the podium !!

[Guest]

Happy, happy - joy joy!!

I'm so happy Valtteri got his first win. :)

Now the biggest pressure is gone.

 

Kimi acting like a dork at cool down room.Well while that's Kimi, this behaviour does reduce his shine within Finns.

Gotta laugh at the cool down room politics. If that was Louis we'd never hear the end. I like Kimi but to day he was a dick.

Oh and radio chat of the day. pmsl.

RAI: "How are we behind Bottas?!"

Ferrari: "Because he is leading the race Kimi."

RAI "Ah, OK!."

I loved that. Kimi expected that Hamilton was leading the race. :)

Did Masa deliberately hold up Seb on the last lap? 

 

Have to think he knows who supplies his engines, who engineered the deal that that talked him out of retirement, and certainly quick to congratulate his forma team mate...

I think Kimi knew Lewis was behind him but could not believe that VB had jumped SV as well.

Yes Massa did exactly that calculation during that corner. He did not however do it because of the engine, after all he is not betting for yet another year with Williams.

 

Massa did it to show how good his previous teammate really is. He did it to show that his performance was very good in previous years, he just happened to have superior, now GP winning teammate. 

Next theory we could confirm?

Honda thinking they could spend more on R&D with the leverage of supplying two teams... That is if McLaren do not find another engine supplier and tell Honda where to shove their power units.

[Mosha]

Alonso cleared to race in the Indy 500.

Is it News ?  Engine out of Alonso car in P1....  Alonso has left, no one any idea where he has gone or if he will be back for P2

[Mosha]

Reading that Alfonso his giving them until September, then if there isn't any improvement he's looking elsewhere. So whose contract is up this year in the top teams?
