IIRC there were a lot of questions asked about how long the hyper soft tyres lasted in Australia, although it got pushed aside by the arguments over lack of overtaking.
Soldato
That's exactly what they should be doing! It's pointless bringing 3 almost identical compounds.In some ways I wish they'd just bring the ultra hard, medium and hyper soft to every race. Let them suffer.

Hamilton gets a five place grid penalty for a new gearbox.

Vettel is going to win the title this year and Lewis is going to retire. You heard it here.

Bottas will have to win this one. 3 gear box fails for merc already
Mercedes have seriously messed up leaving Bottas in that seat. It's wasted on him.

Would love to see Danny Ric in it.
IIRC Ricciardo is still under contract to Red Bull until the end of 2018, so Mercedes can't get him until then anyway. He would have been a good replacement for Rosberg, but I think the team wanted to experiment with not having the friction of two "Number 1" drivers. The way Rosberg ran out the door with his WDC at the last moment and left Mercedes in the lurch meant that all the good drivers were already in contract (as was Bottas) and deals had to be struck to get anyone with experience. It was lucky for Bottas to get a big opportunity like that, but he's failed to show he's worthy of it except as a subordinate team mate.

Will we see some overtakes this race? Fingers crossed.
Why does the Toro Rosso have a Fast and Furious style light under its nose? Noticed it last year too.
EDIT - Verstappen bins it in Q1.

They've had it for a few years, it's a ride height/yaw sensor.

Max you silly boy, needed Red Bull to slow Ferrari down here

Bit desperate thinking is it not?

Verstappen just simply dropped it over the kerb. Planted it nicely in that barrier!
Man of Honour
Pretty much but what other hope is there that the race tomorrow is actually interesting? Bottas is useless and Hamilton has a penalty.

Alonso survives by 0.000 seconds
