Quick some one park a crane somewhere so they can prove it is useless.

What a stupid thing to say.

WTF were Ferrari dragging around? It looked like someone tied a fence to the back of the car.

Not really if Bianchi had slowed down on that double waved yellow like most of the others I wouldn't even be typing.

I don't know why you are if you don't know the facts. It was an accident and F1 expects accidents - and it's done a brilliant job of reducing them since Senna and Ratzenberger died.

The FIA said that Bianchi had reacted and backed off compared to his previous lap, but did not reveal just how much slower he was.
Whiting: "I know what speed he left the track at. We have seen the data from all the cars.
"A lot of cars came through the double waved yellow sector, not everyone slowed down as much.
"There were some that didn't slow down much and some slowed down a lot - and I don't think we need to go into the detail of how much he slowed down relative to the others.
"Suffice to say, we do have that data. He did slow down and it is a matter of degree."

There is nothing wrong with Halo, and the drivers will get used to it like they've got used to everything else.

Meanwhile the usual suspects occupy the top six spots.

Bottas pipped Hammy to pole.

Then come Vettel, Ricciardo, Kimi and Max in that order.

Riciardo has a point to prove in the race, not just in qualifying.

Riciardo has a point to prove in the race, not just in qualifying.

He could improve his reputation muchly by spearing Vettel on the first corner.
