    Great to see a collection of photos of the cars on track.

    I absolutely love the front-side on view of the McLaren, looks so aggressive!

    ….not so much when it’s stuck in the gravel with a wheel missing.

    Well on the plus side, it wasn’t an engine failure this time FA.

    McLaren, “FA, that new Renault unit might be a bit stronger than we are used too…take it easy.”

        Yeah, hinting that they are not used to the power of better and did not build a strong enough wheel nut to handle the new torque levels…jokes

    Do the cars not have to have the drivers initials any more?

    @keithcollantine on the live feed, you need to scroll down like forever to see the newest comments. Shouldn’t the page update the newest comments at the top, instead of the bottom? Thanks for the feed anyway.

    Why is this not televised? F1.com needs to offer streaming of these events….hell, of everything. I’d gladly pay just to be able to get the content live or recorded.

    Very happy for Torro Rosso and Honda, at the moment they appear to have completed most laps without incident…
