If they ever do a Hamilton/Rosberg, like in Spain that would be exciting for Mercedes fans. Vettel and Webber had their moments, but not as catastophic.

Red Bull have just re-signed with Renault for a PU supply for 2017 and 2018, whilst Toro Rosso have re-joined also for the same two years.

After today's Monaco GP and Ricciardo's pitstop, a failure to communicate properly. Maybe that's been their problem all a long? Multi 21.

I suspect that Max's win in Spain excepted, RBR have been out of the race winning loop and they may not be as race sharp as a result, that's two bad calls in 2 weeks (and I think it is just unlucky the DR got both of them).

When you are not in a race winning or even podium position regularly the small operational errors go unpunished. Pat Symonds said that Williams had slipped operationally during their years in the 'wilderness' and once they had a front running car again, they had to sharpen the operational side of the team up across all areas.

That's a good point, it seems experience at running up front is key. They should improve as the season goes on

Ricciardo says he doesn't know how to move on from the second race in succession where he feels the team cost him the win. Must be tough - he had Monaco in the bag.

He needs to go watch a video of James Hunt's 1976 WDC,its entirely possibly to win the championship from an impossible position when everything seemingly goes against you.

Not if the last two races are anything to go by, especially Monaco.

Would be interesting to have another 76 style season, but not necessarily having Rosberg burned, although he could be banned a la Schumacher 94. But it probably won't happen this year

There's been time sin the last 2 years when I thought we might need that to happen to Lewis, such was the pace advantage he had over everyone!

It could be interesting, what with Lewis and Nico fighting one another - Danny and perhaps Vettel could sneak up on the Mercedes guys in the WDC - much like Prost managed to stay in touch with the Williams guys(despite having the inferior car) in 1986.

As for Red Bull - doesn't seem like much is wrong with them. They probably have the best chassis and aero(much like previous years) - and the engine seems better this year. It's just their strategy that needs working on.

The best chassis is the STR... which is partly why RB want to bring the two teams closer together again on engine and design philosophies.

At the moment the thing wrong with Red Bull is pitstops. Especially for car 3 !?!?!?

Spain - Woeful strategy call from pit wall
Monaco - Woeful pitstop that cos the race
Canada - Slow second stop
