I agree. Said the exact thing when he was Down Under. Will Buxton is way better and more aggressive in getting grid interviews.

I agree. It is annoying. And I can tell he’s annoying the drivers too. It adds absolutely nothing to the race coverage.

A preview of this weekend's Chinese GP - Chinese Grand Prix preview - Formula One - Can Red Bull get its act together?

Great racing so far. Lots of overtaking from Red Bull. Smart move with the tire changes. Lots of aggressive racing. Now why did VER do his crazy thing again. Too impatient. RIC made a heroic move to take the lead in 45.

the winner shows why he is the winner - ricciardo

the idiot shows why he is an idiot - verstappen

the karma shows what comes around turns around - vettel, when he squeeze his team mate such badly on the start... similar thing happened back to him and cost him the podium.

I wouldn't say Verstappen is an idiot. A little over exuberant maybe, but so was Senna. I think he is the most exciting driver in a long time. F1 needs more drivers who push the envelope. What started out totally boring, turned into a fantastic race. Ricciardo was unbelievable. Shocked by Lewis' performance.

I have to give MAJOR kudos to the Red Bull team.

To barely get the car into qualifying, then to win the race.

Phenomenal example of teamwork.
I think Ricciardo was as shocked as he was at the Azerbaijan race last year.

Good race overall. No complaining for me. Nice review here from SKY F1 - Martin Brundle: Daniel Ricciardo becomes a contender for the 2018 title - and a Mercedes seat in 2019 | F1 News

I have to say that was one exciting race. But I still hate those new protective halos.

I agree. There has to be a more elegant solution...after all this is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport. Looks like some kind of handle. There hasn't been a good looking F1 car for almost 30 years and they just keep getting uglier.

Via SKY F1 Gossip -

Vettel and Ricciardo reunited in 2019?
Even before his stunning Chinese GP win made him arguably the hottest property in the 2019 driver market, speculation in the Shanghai paddock had already suggested Daniel Ricciardo had signed some form of option with Ferrari.

Sky F1 analyst Mark Hughes, writing in Motor Sport magazine, believes the reports are correct and has locked both Ricciardo and Ferrari into an exclusive negotiating period until the end of June.

'There are many different types of contractual options, but this one is said to be on both sides up to a defined date (believed to be June 30). Up until that time, neither party can officially negotiate with another,' reports Hughes.

'Because the driver is effectively locking himself out of the market for that time, discussions for his post-2018 services are contractually ‘owned’ by the team (in this case Ferrari).

'As such, he will be paid a fee. Between now and then he and Ferrari can negotiate about a future contract. This is all conventional F1 practice.' (Full story - external site)

Will be interesting this weekend in Baku to see how Mercedes respond. They have had 2 weeks now to assess their performance. Again the tires are their issue like last year at times. The car is most definitely a 'Diva' again lol
