Merc have been dominating this era, but I wouldn't mind seeing another finn follow Mika and Kimi and win the championship

I wonder how much Ricciardo is regretting his move to Renault. The Red Bull cars look so far superior to the Renault. And so much for the Ferrari gaining any ground on Mercedes this year. The gap between Mercedes and Ferrari is just growing.

I wish they would just all drive the same cars. So boring when you know Mercedes usually doesn't have to go 100% to win races.

Vettel's penalty for ramming Verstappen should have been applied to the next race. No way to undo the damage he did, but a 10 second penalty when he's already dead last is pointless. My guess is they kept him out there just so he could serve the penalty in that round.

Been getting into F1 since May, first time really watching this sport since 1999 when my dad told me about Schumacher and I had no idea what was going on.

If anyone just happens to see this....You need to watch this sport, even through the Mercedes dominance, this is sport is truly slept on.

That's all for me.

Red Bull certainly gave the Mercs a run this weekend...

Last few races have been entertaining. Verstappen has been doing really well.

Anyone excited about qualifying? Ferrari looks solid this season.

Leclerc with pole position, Ferrari 1 and 3.

Russell with a poor 9th. Couldn't even out qualify Bottas.

Ferrari is going to be a front-runner this year but what a catastrophe for Red Bull. They were so consistent through the first 40 laps. Verstappen just didn't have the pace to get by Leclerc and stay in front.

Nice to see Magnussen and Haas finish top 5. Bottas started so horribly after great qualifying but managed to recover to finish 6th.

Hamilton is out in Q1... wow. That's a shocker, especially since Russell finished 4th in Q1.

The Saudi track is phenomenal. The race is going to be exciting as hell today. Someone toward the middle or rear with screw up in the middle sector. That flyer lap from Perez in qualifying was utterly epic, I didn't expect it.

I'm just happy Alfa Romeo are looking competitive in the midfield. Not out of the question that they can get into the points again. Especially if they don't have clutch issues at the start like at Bahrain.

Amazing fight between LeClerc and Verstappen on the last 5 laps. It's going to be a fun season.

I feel bad for Checo, pitting before the safety car really cost him.

Uhhh.. Hamilton signed with Ferrari for the 25 season. Huge news for this sport as he's been the flagship Merc driver for years! The silly season is coming up next year
