Just reading through last year's thread, people saying the championship was already over and firmly in Rosberg's hands with a 29 point lead after this race. Mostly people calling Hamilton overrated. Made me laugh how far off some people's predictions are and just shows how anything can happen in this crazy sport.

Is anyone willing to sell me tickets for the in season test that happens from 23-24 june after the race.
I heard that everyone with a normal weekend or sunday ticket will get tickets for the test.

Could collect them in vienna on 22 or 23 june or get them by mail if these are seperat tickets.

Would be willing to pay up to 30€. Paypal or cash.

cheers Stefan

Nice track but the race was not memorable. I don't remember the turns.... or what happened last year.

Anyway. I'm looking forward to the new force India and Mclaren cars.

Actually thought last year's was one of the more exciting races, Both Mercs hunting down the Williams and Lewis hunting down Nico. It was tense in the last few laps.

Not sure what happened to Raikkonen in Canada, but Vettel was a good match for Hamilton in race pace, generally being slightly quicker than Hamilton when in clear air so maybe Vettel can keep up with the mercs here...

Honda have lots of upgrades, Ron Dennis made a very positive sounding comment on the grid on Sunday, although a power track won't suit them again

I thought Kimi had pretty decent race pace? He did set the fastest lap, albeit he had the freshest tires among the front runners IIRC.

Also, why are the Spain and Monaco GPs pinned to the top?

Mercedes have indeed opened the gap to Ferrari in Canada over race trim. A consistent Ferrari challenge looks to be some distance away yet.

Fully auto gearboxes where banned in the 90's!

Beats me. Being a website full of sticklers, I wonder how there are still stickied up to now.

They were reintroduced in 2001.

Full auto implies fully self selecting up and down the gear box, i don't recall those ever coming back?

Or are you talking about the auto-up shift that was briefly allowed along with launch control etc?

[Racer X]

My guess is we see alot of the same......
