Looks like all the teams have put their 'shark fins' to good use. Interested to see what it looks like on track, and on TV.

I must admit that I have no problem at all with the shark fins, other than they make the cars even more prone to understeer.
So let us say I have no problem with the look of the shark fins!

Looks like the Mclaren drivers will have to spend the rest of the season starting from the back of the grid at the rate those motors seem to be falling apart.

Where have Force India put the drivers names? I can't see them on the cars. The McLaren is the best positioning that I've seen, really clear.

It's a shame for Alonso and the home GP fans. What a waste.

I enjoy the Catalunya Circuit for the most part. Looking forward to this one.

From F1, for sure, if there is nothing for him other than McLaren. There are many years of top racing left for Fernando.

He should. Have a few years over in America taking in IndyCar and the American racing scene. Then there's this thing in France that might be worth looking at.

He should consider everything outside of his current gig, but I hope he doesn't go out like this in his home GP.

Bottas has problems a water leak has been found on his power unit and the team are fitting the engine used for the first four races in its place meaning Bottas will be a late starter today

Alonso qualifies P7!!

Lucky Vettel didn't do as he was told to by his team then. Ended up on the front row when he could've been at the back. Shame on Ferrari.

Provisional grid.



I hope for Alonso's sanity, and for F1 as a sport, he finishes the race in the top 10 tomorrow. And I hope Chase and Ross can find him a competitive drive for next year. Alonso needs to be fighting with Vettel and Hamilton. It's a damn shame he is in this situation.
