Superb attempt by Bottas! He has everything to be a future champion! According to both Button and Magnussen, McLaren struggled in FP3. But yes, great result for both McLarens in qualifying, Magnussen's penalty notwithstanding. Grim interview with Button afterwards. Looking very much like someone who has been told he's surplus to requirements. Which I suspect means retirement, unless he can talk Williams into replacing Massa. I hope he doesn't linger in a lower order team. Button to Williams. Exactly what I was thinking after watching qualifying this morning.

After translating from English to Arabic, to Spanish, to German, and thence once again to English, we get: The team took some incomplete decisions in FP3 this morning led to the development of the car suboptimised before the playoffs, but the recovery is achieved reasonable success ..
Amazing!

I personally think Jenson's low key demeanour after qualifying was due to respect for Jules Bianchi's situation, rather than any P45 from Mclaren.
The start is going to be nuts. They're going to run side by side through turns 1 and 2, doing 200mph into turn 3, which is very heavy braking on full fuel loads, cold tyres and brakes. Turn 3 also tightens on the exit, so cars will be running off and back into the track all over the place.
Watching the GP2 feature race yesterday (well done to Jolyon Palmer btw!!!), you can race hard and overtake on the circuit, which bodes well considering that everyone will be one-stopping, barring flat spots and safety car periods.

What the hell is Putin doing in the back room? This really pissed me off. Precisely why Shifty was morally right about Russia and especially Putin using F1 to try and normalise an unacceptable régime. Naturally, rent-boy Bernie was all to happy to get on his knees and reach for the zip.
