Be interesting to see what sort of upgrade packages the teams come with at Barcelona.

At the moment, McLaren are scrapping with Ferrari and Mercedes over 5th-10th. They'll be hoping for a scorching hot European summer, as they don't seem to be able to get the cars handling properly when the temperatures dip like they did in Bahrain between qualifying and race day.

Hamilton penalised and is to start at the back of the grid.

Somewhat harsh I feel. Surely a 5 place grid penalty would have sufficed.

I'm not a huge Hamilton fan but I do think the time could be right for him to leave Mclaren for his own sake.

Put a tenner on that this morning. Good odds.

The sooner he gets away from McLaren, the better his chances of going down as one of the all-time greats of the sport.

That team has gone so far backwards since Martin Whitmarsh took over from Ron Dennis it's ludicrous.

Nice to see Williams back on top, though I question the wisdom of celebrating by burning down your garage

The bit of standing water on one corner made practice interesting

Horrible crash at the start today, especially the view from Alonso's cockpit.

Great win for Jenson yesterday, but what an idiot that Grosjean is. Calous and dangerous driving if ever I've seen it!!!! You are very lucky to be getting only a one race ban young man!!!
