Sure enough, there was the penalty (but Valterri was still faster in qualifying) and Hamilton seems to be on one of those "working holidays" mode he enters every now and then...yet I can't see the Finn getting shown the door at AMG if he keeps going as he is.
Harika wrote: » Ferrari won’t want another Number 1, so it is unlikely that Ricciardo will be hired as he was beating Vettel in their season together. Ferrari will want to look at a solid number 2 driver, something that Kimi is doing well so far. If he wants to continue he will be in the Ferrari. Else maybe Perez or Grosjean.

He's already performing better in the force India than Williams and depending on what Bottas does this year I wouldn't be surprised if his contract isnt renewed.

AMKC wrote: I have to disagree. He done a good job last year in that terrible Mclaren-Honda and got into Q2 a few times even matching or beating Alonso,s times sometimes. I think he even got into Q3 a couple of times. He is a very good driver with a lot of potential it's just a matter of getting the car set right and everything in the race right. He has been the teammate to probably the best driver on the grid and has not done to bad. He finished 7th twice last year which was probably the best that car was capable of. He has been a bit off it so far this year do. He needs to do better seems to be getting worse but hopefully he can get back into the midfield fight. As for Alonso. I think if Mclaren improve this year he will stay next year if they go backwards he might leave.

I would love to say we should all boycott Sky and only watch the races on C4 but that would mean not watching some races live which some might here want to live. Although sometimes watching the highlights can be better especially when its a dull boring race.
