Pirelli seem to have made it a bit of a lottery though with their quality control. There was rubber absolutely everywhere in China.

Now the strange thing with Mercedes using this years car when it should have been a 2010 car for testing rubber.

Monaco was good this year. Sutil impressive again.

Poor Romain Grosjean crashed in all three practice session, then again in qualifying, drove into the back of another car during the race and broke the car so terminally he had to retire .

Yep, the car is massivly impressive as well. Lewis made a good choice leaving McLaren, they have a dog of a car this year.

For all of you sitting at home on a Sunday wishing there was some racing on the 'telly but now contemplating hoovering under the sofas here is the Le Mans 24 live feed: http://www.24h-lemans.com/live/en/

Having trouble seeing F1 where we are

Instead, we have tickets for the American Grand Prix. Neither of us have been to one before so we're taking our chance whilst we live in a country that hosts one. Will be on Turn 15 so look out for me

Webber will leave F1 for Porsche's endurance racing efforts.

Yeah, well, nice guys finish last.

People are picking Kimi for RedBull but given Seb wants to be part of the process that seems unlikely to me. Why would Seb pick someone who could show him up? Seb would not want Kimi, Alonso or Hamilton in the other car. Button...maybe.

For the record I think Max Chilton is giving Taki Inoue (who is widely regarded as the worst F1 driver, even by his own admission) a run for his money. All dads money can't buy him tallent.

Only Di Resta's misfortune saved him from starting dead last after qualifying. Interesting to hear Alonso describe Ferrari as being in "serious trouble", everything they are doing is not working .

Now come on Hamilton, show those Germans a clean pair of heels.

Crybabies moaning again. That's the problem wiv the UK it's 'elf and safety gone mad .

Interesting Webber did so well, like Massa at the end of last season maybe. Knew he'd be dropped so there was no pressure and he did really well.

Grosjean, on the podium? Outrageous . Good work by Lotus and Renault who powered every car on the podium.

McLaren looked OK(ish) this time. That Honda deal can't come soon enough.
