this is actually the first race i'm watching live this season.. the others were way too early in the morning for me

Lol.. Vettel out,

I like this design more than the one from Mercedes, it seems to offer more protection, but how will it work with rain?

Also, the two McLaren on the points! That's something hard to see nowadays.

I dont like both.. open cart racing should be like.. you know.. open.. in the rain with the speed they are going they'll probably use a special coating like rain x

Are we ever going to see a race where Rosberg has to do more than just sit and watch his rivals crash or burn?

Well, it's not like a glass screen is that unusual to F1.

Besides, smart glass could do the deal when it comes to rain drops. An electric current going through the glass, generating a magnetic field, could repel the water, since rain is electrically charged itself.

Well, neither of the designs are completely closed, and my comment was regarding which of the two proposed solutions I prefer, because the Mercedes one is kind of stupid with that pillar in front of the driver.

And this is a safety measure to avoid what happened last year with that Indy rider or what happened to Massa a few years ago.

Verstappen replaces Kyvat

Wow, I think the writing was on the wall, just didn't expect it so early. Shame, Kvyat certainly has a lot of potential but this could significantly dent his future in the sport.

This is certainly unexpected and risky, because while Verstappen has shown its potential, he ha also made some bad mistakes in the last season (like in Monaco).

We'll have to wait and see if this change pays off.
