Duh - Prost of course . Although he was 1993 World Champion, not 1994.

Also, watched a video where Kimi did a test lap at Barcelona that was over 3 seconds faster than Hamilton's poll qualifying lap there last year. Are the Italian stallions back?

However, F1 cars are supposed to be 3-5 seconds a lap faster in their new guise this season.

And here we had drivers catching the car ahead quickly, then 1 to 2 seconds behind they were stuffed! Hopefully non street tracks will aid passing. Even 30 kph slower on the straights than those behind and DRS, Alonso held off a Mercedes Force India car until 7 laps to go when his suspension problems hit.....

Good race.

Status: offline 		Exactly. Mad Max got the "Driver of the Day" award for his performance behind the wheel, but not so much for his radio traffic. The biggest WTF moment goes to Bottas for spinning out behind the safety car while trying to warm up his tires. What was up with Ferrari not telling Kimi to get out of the way? It might have been a lot closer.

FYI, I just read where Alonso will not be at Monaco GP so that he can drive in the Indy 500. Well at least he didn't just up and retire like some driver.

I don't think fitness is an issue for the uber fit Button - who does triathlons for fun - but I think he needs to get used to the new car.

Bottas needs to up his game though...... it seems he had an excuse for the first stint, but what happened thereafter?? Hopefully just a one off. If not then Mercedes are going to have to consider team orders i.e. a definite 1 and 2 driver.

And Raikonnen is doing what exactly?

The presentation of Senna's helmet to Hamilton for matching his record at qualifying P1 was amazing history. Just awesome.

Special. Do you know if they did something similar when Schumacher equalled (and later beat) Senna's record?

I can't find anything online to that effect. Schumi and Senna were rivals and Schumacher himself was sort of non-committal on how he felt about surpassing those records. Perhaps the family were more accepting of Lewis who absolutely idolized Senna.

I wonder how long they were prepared to keep the helmet presentation a secret?

P.S. What is up with Force India? Has the fumes from the pink paint gone to their heads.

Of course there is no guaranteeing how things would have panned out, all I know is that mucking about probably gave Vettel a clutch of points he was otherwise going to miss out on. Nice one boys
