    Are the upgrades on the way? 2 or 3 tenths could turn the season around very quickly and put RB under some pressure.

    Go Ferrari. I am not optimistic until I see one of our cars beat Max in a straight up fight. Considering Sunday was Max's first DNF in 43 races we can't expect any more bad luck for him this season, and next...

    Williams confirm no spare chassis for Suzuka
    Williams team principal James Vowles has confirmed they will have no spare chassis at the Japanese Grand Prix.

    The team are repairing Alex Albon's damaged car after he crashed heavily during Friday practice for the Australian Grand Prix.

    I'm thinking the red cars are still going to be strong. I like how they have played it. Nothing over the top. Understand your kit. Every time we went radical on our car it bit us in the ass. RB may perfect it in a few races, but hitting the window out of the box is not easy. Granted we don't have cfd or super computers.

    Suzuka is one of those tracks you look at and immediately want to drive. Here's hoping shifting the GP in the year brings us good weather for this great track.

    They should quit and give the slot to Andretti.
