Welcome to Tuesday’s edition of the RaceFans round-up.

Comment of the day

Lewis Hamilton made a statement with his first appearance at Ferrari’s Maranello factory yesterday:

It’s a very stylish pose for the photo and appropriate for the circumstances. Obviously it’s not Lewis’ usual style and it’s all done for the cameras.

I hope things work out for Lewis and Ferrari. It does bring some extra interest to the season. I think Charles will be difficult to beat over a whole season. But I hope Lewis does give a good account of himself. It would be something for both of them if Ferrari won the constructors’ championship at least.

'I remember being on my knees after about ten laps thinking ‘I can't cope with this as there's so much information coming at me!’. I went into the race thinking that I'd done all my preparation and I knew what I was talking about, and after about half-an-hour I realised there's a lot more I need to understand about this sport.'
