Agree, but right now I cannot see them catch up this much against a high class team (well funded) as Mercedes, even with double points in the last race.

Way too much uncertainty about the rules.
I love that this race shuts down Luca DiMontezemelo complaints about F1 not being exciting because of new rules aka fuel limit.
He tried to push his agenda because the Ferrari engine is less powerful and consumes more fuel.
Now this happens in the same weekend where he met with Todt. Perfect timing.

Great race. Hope to see more of this this year.
Hamilton, Rosberg and Mercedes gave a show to be seen. Too bad Massa couldn't pass Vettel.
Ricciardo, nicely done. One more lap and he would be on the podium.
Well deserved also for Force India and Perez. I still stand on my opinion that Perez is a good driver and not another Maldonado.
Speaking of Maldonado, I hope FIA goes up in his ass. What was that indeed.

So, how many races WON'T Mercedes win this year?
I'm going for two. Only one of them because the other car was faster.

Gonna say that Red Bull probably has a good shot in Monaco.

I think the Merc will still be able to get the power down cleaner so come out on top there.
He apparently got 3 penalties for that - the 10 second stop/go, 5 place grid drop, and 3 points on his license.

What did Ferrari say about a bad show?

They know what the issues are an are working on it.
HOLY SHITTING CHRIST.
That's all I have to say. Perez is a beast, I knew he wasn't as bad as he was in last year's McLaren. Ricciardo was amazing, Vettel was quietly impressive, Hulk lost out, Ferrari LOL, Maldonado still needs to have his Superlicence revoked, HOLY SHIT HAMILTON DAMN SON, amazing effort by Rosberg too.
I was shaking at the end of that race. One of the best, most exciting races I've ever had the privilege of watching.

That move from McLaren to merc was inspired. Well done Lewis.
I think the real lesson of the weekend is never get in an Italian taxi
I think you could see this happening, or at least Mercades being very competitive again with the new regulations. The fact they had such a good car last year was more surprising to me, I thought Lewis was writing that year off just to get settled.

I'm looking forward to see Wax Free Vanilla post after how much stick he gave Perez last year.
Hope for a wet Canada/Brazil
Lewis is a bit of a specialist in Canada (and Hungary), even with a wet race I'd expect him to do well there.

Nice of HAM to ask about GUT in the interview
The fuck? Ricardo gets 10 for an unsafe release and Maldanado only gets 5 for that shit?
It wouldn't make much of a difference in this case, but yeah, that's bullshit.
For the sake of comparision, what were the penalties Ricciardo got from that unsafety release last race? Only 5 places drop for Loldonado sounds not fair enough...
Stop-go penalty and 10-place grid drop. No points I believe, which makes sense since it wasn't his fault.
Yeah that was nice to see.
He can't help but be not bitter he knew he had a small pace advantage today but was still out raced.

Was recording my stream while watching so I uploaded it here. Not used this site before but it's quite fast on my end.

Yeah exactly. I think he's more frustrated at himself than bitter because he had the advantage and couldn't get the job done. I was pulling for Nico, because I always want the guy who hasn't won the championship to take it, but he was simply out-raced today.
To play Devil's advocate; Ricciardo's unsafe release could have killed someone with a rogue wheel in the pitlane, the Loldonado crash was at least 'controlled' in the sense that GUT was in a car designed to protect the driver.
Their reactions at the end of the race says it all really. Nico was thrilled by the racing but bitter that he lost that fight.

This race doesn't change anything, he's still shit and as the season progresses it shall be confirmed once again.
Perez will be Hulk smashed onto the F1 scrapheap.
